Being Mrs Spence

Florence was informed by the security that a man was looking for her.

She was sitting outside the pool house while Maxwell swims in the swimming pool.

They have been married for over two years now, it was a quiet wedding. Nothing loud and ever since then her life appears like a fairytale.

She was loved, respected and cared for.

Maxwell adores her.

After their wedding, there was delay in pregnancy but it was not for a long period.

She later became pregnant, it was a dream come true for her and Maxwell

She had her first baby in the UK before returning back.

It as a baby boy, when the baby was just ten months old she became pregnant again unexpectedly and she is already six months gone.

Living a Godly life was far easy with an encouraging partner like Maxwell.

They pray together, study the Bible together. They do things in common and he was planning to finally relocate them to UK.

He was putting plans in place for that and before she will get to nine months of pregnancy everything will be set to travel out.

Maxwell was swimming in the pool, she was relaxing outside the pool house with her a year plus son and her fat pregnancy belle, sipping her home made vegetable smoothie when one of the security guard came to inform her about the stranger.

She was told that the strangers name was Coleman.

Florence startled a little. She began to wonder if it was her ex husband or there was another Coleman.

Maxwell seeing the security came out of the pool, he asked what was the problem and he was told the stranger asking for Florence.

He asked the security to send the person in.

Maxwell dried off his body. Tied a towel round his waist, underneath his swimming trunk and lifted his son to his body.

The little boy wiggles happily and laughed as his Dad played with him.

Maxwell asked his wife if she was alright and she nodded with a smile.

Cole was led by the security, he was in aww as he looked at the compound and how beautiful it was.

Florence used to mention how she loves nature and art works but he usually ignore her whenever she start talking about things she likes and enjoys doing.

Maxwell must be a lover of art due to the decorations on the compound wall, some statue where carefully placed around, there was a small waterfall spring that runs towards a green flower garden.

The whole place looks like an amusement park. He also loves it as he continued looking at the whole place in wonder.

He silently prayed that Florence was only living with Maxwell as dating partner and nothing serious.

He hopes they’re not yet married. Maybe Florence was finding it hard moving on because of the kind of love she truly have for him.

Her love for him can’t be compared to whatever she shares with her ex boyfriend who kept forcing his way into her life

He was led down to where Maxwell and Florence where.

At first, he saw Maxwell holding a little boy up in his arm, he swallowed hard as many thoughts crossed his mind.

Jealousy was suddenly written all over him. He silently wish the cute boy is not for Maxwell.

As he got closer and closer, he saw the big pool, and a shield like a house. There were beach wooden seats all around the pool.

He saw a lady relaxing on one of the beach seat. There was a green juice in a transparent long plastic cup with a straw attached to it. It was on a small table beside her.

That must be smoothie, he thought within himself.

He used to enjoy freshly made smoothie that Florence usually prepares for him back then.

He remembered that Florence concentrated so much into him and less in herself.

Always ready to please him at all cost.

Who could be that lady, maybe Maxwell got married to another woman. Is either he wasn’t interested in Florence again after what happened before or Florence couldn’t move on with him due to she miss being Mrs Spence.

At first he didn’t recognize the lady but another closer look showed that the lady was actually Florence.

She looks pregnant and her bare skin radiant beautifully than he has ever seen her before.

He suddenly began to miss his steps, he doesn’t know what to do or how to approach them.

“Hello Coleman… what brought you to my house?

Maxwell said still standing.

Cole was speechless as he looked from Florence to her stomach.

She was obviously pregnant.

It looks so unbelievable. Florence was pregnant, for real.

That means she was very alright all this while, The one with the problem has always been him.

She was wearing a diamond wedding ring, Maxwell too wore a wedding band.

They were married, how come they already have a son and she was pregnant again.

Which means Florence moved on really fast after the divorce.

It was unlike her to forget him so quickly.

He can swear that Florence loved him more than Maxwell and does not suppose to move on so fast.

They were not only married but expecting their second child.

Susan was right then, she said so but he never believed.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“What are you doing here Cole?

Florence asked him with a frown across her face.

Cole began stuttering. He was not making sense. No one understands what he was saying.

He forgot all the line he practice before coming and felt stupid standing like a beggar.

He had no car or a good means of income.

The only thing to his name was the house which he has thought of selling severally, so that he can have enough money, to get a smaller apartment, a car and maybe start a business.

His fear is

What if the business didn’t work out and his rent expired in the new apartment and he couldn’t renew it. He will finally be thrown into the street.

He knew Maxwell was rich, when Florence brought home the cheque that they used to pay back the loan from the bank but he never knew he was far richer beyond his thoughts.

“I… me… there… I… ju…. uhmm…

Cole stammered again.

Maxwell turned to him.

“Let this be your first and last to come close to my house. I will get you locked up if you dares try it. My wife and I won’t tolerate this nonsense next time. We thought you had better thing that brought you here but is obvious that you are quiet confused. I don’t joke with my wife or my kids, and I wouldn’t want to see your wretched face around my estate or close to my compound again… this is a clear warning. Stay far off…

Cole began to apologise. He fell on his knees and began to beg Florence.

He narrated how Lizbeth deceived him again with Dominic baby. The daughter she gave birth to wasn’t his own after everything. He broke down and wept like a child as he told Florence how miserable his life was without her in it.

Florence scoffed and said

“Okay, I’m sorry for your miserable life Mr Spence. I have no grudge or hate against you. As you can see my life is flourishing and I have no reason to hate you for pushing me to my desired glory. If all that happened with you never happened, I will still be stock with you suffering and smiling in silent. You pushed me hard Cole and I landed right here and the honey in my mouth is too sweet I can’t let go, I wish I had discovered it before now but I’m glad that it didn’t pass me by. Like my husband said don’t step your feet in here again, is not because we hate you but we don’t need your type of person niggling in our lives. Go and take back Lizbeth and accept the baby as yours or you will be really lonely for the rest of your life…”

Cole try saying something, Maxwell asked the security guard to throw him out.

Cole cried himself home.

He was devastated and even attempted suicide but couldn’t.

He decided to take Florence advice by going to look for Lizbeth and the daughter.

He found them and took them home.

Seeing them everyday will remind him that he loosed a diamond while gathering stone.

A regret without remedy that he will forever live with.

****

Florence later relocated to UK with her family where she gave birth to her second child, a beautiful baby girl.

She was done with child bearing and decided to focus more in raising her kids with her God sent husband Maxwell who loves her even more on each breaking of a new day.

Being Mrs Spence almost took her life and crumble her entire world but right from the moment she changed her name to Mrs Luke her world was built with a strong beautiful bricks that none can tear down.

She is not only a wife to a unique being like Maxwell, she was also a mother, she was a Mom to children she carried and gave birth to after thinking she will never be able to give birth to a baby in her life time.

She was a mother after over a decades of childlessness or a happy home.

Her second chance to life that God gave her was far better then the first life she ever lived.

She will never stop appreciating every seconds in it.

She understands better now that every breath we take is a precious gift from God that none should ever take for granted

Rather, we should live a life that will be pleasing to the creator.

For heavenly race is personal and every being must answer to his or her creator how well they spent their days on earth.

“… God is not dead, only those who never encounters him or truly know him says and believe so. if God can reach out and pull me out of the dungeon of death when the enemy try to bury me… how much more he will do to them that sincerely calls out to him for rescue…”

Florence said to the group of women during a bible study class which she was hosting twice in a week right in UK where she was based with her family.

Even Susan sometimes joins her online class.

During the holiday, Florence invited her over.

Maxwell assisted in processing all their papers and Susan with her entire family came to spend quality time in UK.

The two sisters became strong leading women in their different location and society with the full support of their dear husbands.

THE END!
