Being Mrs Spence

Florence opened up to him.

She poured out everything she has stored in.

It feels like a relief as she talks to somebody like Maxwell who won’t judge her or throw sheds at Cole.

He was a great listener and allowed her pour out her soul without interruption.. Florence has began

“I still wonder why Cole will do this to me? What did I ever do wrong? I was a good wife, I tried to be at my best. Supporting him, loving him, pleasing him even when it hurts… all of this I did and many more without complaining and yet this is what I got in return. Nothing to boost in, no child to call mine. Cole told me he doesn’t want me getting pregnant because he wasn’t ready for such responsibility or the mess that comes with it. He wasn’t much of a children person. I agreed despite how much his decision hurts me but I have no choice than to agree for peace to reign… hoping that someday he will be ready like he said and we will have kids. Susan talked me into trying to see if I can conceive maybe with pregnancy Cole will throw off his strong will of not wanting children unknown to me he has already gotten another Lady pregnant. I was thinking that Cole had issue in getting a woman pregnant just as the doctor has mentioned. The doc has confirmed me alright and ready to take in but my husband needed to go through some checking and medication so that we can both be on same lane… but Cole refused. He said he was very fertile and active, maybe I’m the one with the problem. He had a great prove to show for it. Marina was the prove. Cole broke me, he cut me deeply and left me with a deep hidden scar. Getting another woman pregnant wasn’t enough, bringing the lady home, engaging her, moved her to the bedroom we both share. Cole had the gut to move my own things to the guest room and scattered my stuffs everywhere in that room. His mother supports his decision. My husband threatened to kill me because of another woman. He told me he was done with the marriage and will be serving me a divorce letter still because of another woman. I’m healing gradually but no day pass by without thinking of everything I passed through in the hand of Cole and how it still hurts…

Florence wiped a tear, she tried not to break down in front of Max.

Maxwell can see her struggling to hold back tears and emotions.

“Let it out. If you feel like crying, is alright Flox… if I appear like Cole in your eyes and you feel like striking me. Do so… because I will never judge you. I deeply understand your pain. You are a strong lady, I have Known you to be unbending, you will be alright Flox because all of this will pass and your sanity will be fully restored with happiness that can only comes from God. I’m sorry for everything you have to go through… so sorry Flox…

He Florence went into his arm and released the heavy tears she held back.

Maxwell was careful as he stroke her shoulder gently.

She told him of her new apartment after moving out of the hotel due to the expenses.

They talked until it was 10pm before Maxwell walked Florence to her car, bid her goodnight, drive carefully and watch her speed off.

Max returned to his.

He didn’t drive off immediately, he went through everything Florence told him and all that she has gone through.

He folded his fist and hit it on the steering wheel.

He probably played a part in driving Florence into the hand of a man like Cole. Men who doesn’t value what they have.

Florence was kind, she was loving and God fearing. She loves with everything in her and holds nothing back.

She was patient with him for almost three years of their dating. Despite how he was mostly n the road, Florence understand, she waited until she couldn’t anymore.

She fell deeply in love with Coleman, he was always present whenever she needed some one.

Florence said many amazing things about him and he was happy that she will be in a safe hand with a responsible man who also loved her.

Seeing how broken, sad and hurt the same man left her made him want to punch him real hard.

Maxwell later drove her.

Despite how Florence confided in him, he tries as much as possible to avoid meddling in her personal life.

He wanted to remain a friend she can always lend her shoulder on and that was what Florence wanted.

She focused more on her job and getting more recommendation as days goes on.

Florence was finally letting go little by little.

She was home that Thursday from work, while getting ready for the next day her phone rang.

It was Cole. He was calling for the first time in three months.

“Hel… ellooo…

Florence was quiet, she pretend like she doesn’t know him.

“Who’s this?

Cole became speechless at first.

“Don’t you have my number or know my voice again…?

“I will end this call if you don’t introduced yourself immediately… Florence said.

“So you deleted my number and can’t recognize my voice.. Cole replied.

Florence ended the call.

Cole called like twice before she picked up.

“Florence please don’t end the call, is me… Cole. Your husband…” Cole added.

“Which husband are you referring to? Because I don’t have a husband me Mr Cole. How’s your new wife and the baby and what do you want… is the divorce papers ready. My lawyer will pick it up, just let me know when…

Cole interrupted.

“Florence, I didn’t call for that, I only called to… to check up on you…

“To Check if I’m dead or alive? Don’t call this line next time Colman Spence. If the divorce papers are ready text it to me and I will send my lawyer to you…” Florence added

Florence can hear Marina in the background shouting over something he did. ” I just got this month alert Cole and is not complete, what happened to the rest of the money. I want my complete allowance or…”

Florence heard Marina cursing him.

“Can’t you see that I’m on call… what the hell is wrong with you…?

He suddenly covered the mouth piece so that Florence won’t hear the rest of the banter. He later returned to the call.

Maybe he didn’t want Marina to know who he was talking to he started speaking very quiet

“Hello… hello.

Florence quietly ended the call before switching off her phone.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
