Being Mrs Spence

Florence broke free from him and slapped him.

Maxwell placed a hand on his cheek.

His heart was panting, he bite his lips angrily.

“What exactly are you trying to do Max? Can’t you see that I’m a married woman, I’m still married to Coleman. Isn’t my wedding ring glaring enough in your eyes. You need to respect the fact that I’m still Mrs Spence. Why are men like this? Always taking advantage of a vulnerable lady. Maybe the mistake I made is coming to pass a night here, I can’t wait for morning to come so that I will be out of here. What do you take me for, You probably thought that I’m still the Florence of old… that you used to know. listen to me, I’m a grown ass married woman, get that into your skull and don’t pull this kind of stunt next time.

She opened her door and walked in, ignoring several of Maxwell call.

Maxwell punched the wall severally, he combed his hand into his hair wondering what he just did.

He couldn’t walk to his room, he was so beaten. he wish Florence will listen to him. he stood outside the door and began speaking to her.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Flox, please… I’m sincerely . forgive me. I wasn’t taking advantage of you in anyway… I can never do that to you. I’m not like other men out there like you stated earlier, I’m different Flox. I love you, yes I really do. I have never stopped loving you Flox. I feel so stupid right now, i never wanted to offend you. My emotions got the best of me… and I’m sorry..

He combed his hand into his hair again as no reply came from Florence.

As he turned and was about walking away, he suddenly heard the door opening.

The door flung open

Florence stood staring at Maxwell.

As Maxwell opened his mouth to apologise again. Florence interrupted by putting a finger to his mouth.

“Shhhhhh! Why are you still standing and staring at me. Don’t you want to come inside…

Maxwell blinked severally to be certain of what Florence was saying.

She pushed him forward and closed the door.

She pulled off the nighty overall jacket, dropped it on the ground removed her wedding ring for the first time and put it on a dresser.

Florence went to a confused Maxwell who stood watching her

She kissed him but Maxwell didn’t respond.

He gently pulled her away from him and asked

“Flox, are you really sure of this? Just few minutes ago you were bashing and cursing me for kissing you, I don’t understand…

She stepped away from him and said.

“If you truly love me Max, then stop talking and asking too much questions. Let’s do this. I just realized that I have actually been married to myself for over a year now, is time for me to move on too.

She kissed Maxwell again, this time he responded but not so well.

She gently pushed him to the bed, mount on top of him and continued kissing.

Maxwell turned her over, he kissed and caressed here passionately like he has wanted to do for long.

***********

Cole dropped the phone, sat hard on the bed and continue staring at the locked wardrobe.

He just finished receiving a call from his bank.

He took a loan three months ago and has not paid in anything like he promised to do. But with the new decision he took it will favor everybody.

He was also indebted in his office, he asked for five months advance salary but his company told him that such act is not part of their policy but what they can do for him is to give him a loan which will be deducted from his monthly salary.

The company loan wasn’t much which was why he decided to contact his bank.

A month ago he got involved with some fraudulent act in his company.

He supplied laboratory stocks to one big company and did not remit the money that he was paid back to his company.

He prays that his company won’t find out.

Since Marina told him last month that she was pregnant again, he did not want any mistake at all like the first.

Is been three months already that the first pregnancy didn’t happen as plan.

They have been trying to conceive again.

Marina who promised to cut down her cost of expenses didn’t keep to her plans.

She said there’s a certain drugs, recommended by her doctor which she needs to be taken in other to quickly conceive.

She mentioned the huge amount for the drugs and it was seriously huge.

Cole was able to get the money and give to her.

Marina came up with another plan.

She told him that if he really wants her and the baby alive, safe and far away from Florence evil eyes then he should look for money and send her abroad until the baby is born.

She continued pressurizing Cole until he finally agreed.

He has been able to gather the agreed amount and gave all the money to Marina for peace to reign.

She assuredly him that she was walking on getting her visa, flight ticket, accommodation abroad and every other necessary thing with the money he gave her.

While Cole continue looking for a way to pay up his accumulated debt.

Since he couldn’t remit any money back to the bank, he decided to put his house on a collateral.

Was he making a mistake by using his house as a collateral.

There is no other option than what he did.

Marina is almost two months pregnant, he seriously doesn’t want to take another risk.

He even asked her to reduce her bedroom action so that it won’t affect the baby.

By next month end, she will be flying abroad.

Ones she is gone, he will be able to see if he can recover from all the debts on his neck.

It was last month he served Florence a divorce letter, it has not been finalized yet.

The court will finalize it by next month.

Florence said she doesn’t want anything from him as a divorce settlement.

Cole noticed she was not looking happy or sad.

She looks unpredictable.

Cole was happy when Florence said she doesn’t want anything from him. She only wish for the divorce to be finalize so that she can move ahead with her life.

Florence made it very easy for him, different from what Cole thought.

Lizbeth reminded Cole in the morning that they were running low on groceries and fruits for Marina’s smoothy, which enjoys fresh.

Lizbeth usually prepares it fresh for her every day.

Cole had some money somewhere, which he kept away because of Marina.

Is mainly for Lizbeth monthly pay and the entire household expenses.

He couldn’t find it where he kept it, he scattered his wardrobe but couldn’t find it.

Missing money was becoming a ritual in his house and there is no other that will take it if not Marina

If he goes to ask Marina she will turn it into fight.

But is either Marina took the money again despite all he has been giving her or the money develop wings and fly out.

Is a good thing that Marina was out.

Her wardrobe which belongs to Florence is always on lock.

He has never put much thought into the locking of wardrobe with padlock.

But looking at it again, questions crossed through his mind.

why will Marina be padlocking her wardrobe.

Florence has never done that.

What is she hidding. Even if she doesn’t want him meddling in her stuffs all she needs to do is say so.

Maybe she locked it because of Lizbeth or whatever her reasons maybe.

He needs to find his money so that he can give to Lizbeth to buy food stuffs and other household items and to know what Marina is always sneaking around and hidding.

Cole touched the padlock, he studied it for long and knew he needed a strong harmer to break it.

He will have to deal with Marina’s trouble later but she can’t continue stealing his money, locking her wardrobe as if he is the thief.

If he is spending so much on her, she needs to be transparent and grateful too.

Cole ran to his gym house, collected some tools that he will use to open the lock.

He ran back to the room to dismantle the lock.
