Being Mrs Spence

“If you don’t do as I say then watch me dismiss her by myself…. I warned you, this whole house will bear me witness that I warned you…

She turned and started walking away

He threw a fist to the air angrily.

He went after her, blocked her on the stairs, preventing her from walking pass him.

“Leave the road, I’m not in the mood for this your childish behavior…

She began to rant none stop.

“Marina, you are overreacting… what is your plan, what do you intend to do…?

Cole asked while still standing on her way.

“What you failed to do Cole. Before you employed that girl, I told you that I don’t need a female maid. You went ahead, disobeyed my orders, you didn’t even consider the fact that I am pregnant. I suffer several morning, afternoon and night sickness because of this your child I’m carrying. The only thing you could have done for me is to do all my bidding, but instead you did things that piss me off. I’m kicking her out. She almost two months of trying to exercise patient and wait until you do the needful but I’m done waiting…

“If you kick her out who will do the chores… because I will no longer do your dirty laundry, cleaning, mobbing or even vacuuming. So, you better think it through before dismissing the only lady helping out here all because of your inferiority compl…

Marina interrupted by pushing him aside.

“Cole, did you just insulted me? You forgot that I’m carrying your child right? You should be very grateful and worship the ground I walks on for trying to make you feel like a man. Unlike your wife who all the five years of marriage to her never conceived even ones. Listen, is Florence you can push around and not me. If you gets me angry, you will never set your eyes on this child in my womb…

“You are damn ungrateful Marina. What exactly do you want again eeh? I did everything you asked of me. I engaged you, drove my wife out, shared the master bedroom with you, bought a car for you, pays monthly allowance, clean and wash for you. We have been feeding on fast food because you are too lazy to cook. You blames everything on the pregnancy and I never argued. Since you’re a carrying my child is only normal for me to pamper you. I got tired of seeing the dirts and mess in the house, I couldn’t stand it or do it anymore, I decided not employed a help… Lizbeth has been doing her work effortlessly, so well and yet you don’t want her. You want me to fire her for just selfish reasons and employe a man instead… because you don’t any Lady to drag me with you. You belittle me and subjected me to a mere items that have no say, like a piece of furniture. Lizbeth stays and if you kick her out, I won’t employ another help, you will have to do all the chores. Go ahead and try me. I’m sick and tired of all this your nonsense…

He walked away from her, Marina followed him, she continued ranting.

“You are just a coward Coleman. I’m not the type of Lady you should raise your voice at… remember I’m carrying your child and deserve a maximum respect, care and love. Take a long look at me, I’m not like your dullard of a wife that only woke up at the dying minutes. I’m always awake and watching you like a hawk. My type of person is rare… and you can’t easily get a beautiful smart lady like me… I can bet you to it..

Cole laughed sarcastically before turning to her.

“, The only thing you are good at is sex, sex and only sex. I sometimes gets scared of the baby you carried but you care less. Despite your pregnancy you are ready to give different style, even turn upside down just for sexual pleasure. I’m sick and tired of you already. Florence doesn’t have all the styles but she was never lazy, never disrespectful, never allow me to spend extravagantly. She was a better woman than you… i can also bet to that And the reason why I’m not shutting your running mouth right now with a slap is because of the baby and another major reason is I don’t beat women…

“Cut the scrap off Cole… have you forgotten who you are talking to? You dares not lay a finger on me. You can only deceive women like Florence not me. If she was all this you mentioned why did you drove her out, got me pregnant, engaged me, allowed me move into your matrimonial master bedroom and spending so much on me and not her…? Let me guess because you are so confused and do not know what you truly want… another thing is that she can’t get pregnant and I beat her to it. Oh wait, I’m really good at the bedroom job, my great skills and performance even in pregnancy shock you right? Hahahaha… atleast I’m good at something which is why you can’t let go. I’m here to stay Cole. I haven’t even started and you are already complaining. I’m not your maid… so if you are expecting me to do the dishes, cook and clean then you will grow real old while waiting. I will let Lizbeth stay but if I catch you sneaking around her like a dog, you will wish you never met someone like me. Rubbish…

She walked away, leaving Cole speechless.

***********

Florence drove in from work. She sat in her car for sometimes, her head was relaxed on the car seat.

It was a hectic day at work, she was grateful that weekend is around the corner.

After tomorrow’s work, which is Friday she will have enough time to rest.

She needs to go in, make dinner and get ready for tomorrow.

Her manager has commended her at work. Her recent performance at work is recommendable which made her manager to give her a thumb up and asked her to keep up with the great performance.

She wants to continue that way without any further bad record.

The period she moved out from her home and marriage was the toughest time of her life.

Moving into a hotel and trying to live everyday at a time wasn’t easy.

She was given two weeks of suspension at work.

She used that period to look for a mini apartment in an estate not too far from the company she works with.

Florence paid up but didn’t have enough money to furnish it.

She stayed in the hotel for almost three weeks and spent so much in paying for her room, for feeding, fueling and maintaining her car and other necessary expenses.

She was running low on cash after renting the apartment.

Florence spent a weekend with Susan and her boys.

Susan gave her some money which she added to buy things in her new apartment.

This was the third month of moving out of her matrimonial home.

Is been rough and tough. She was gradually coming in terms with the fact that her husband belongs to another woman carrying his child.

She has not been able remove her wedding ring from her finger.

She made attempt to do so many times but broke down each time.

Maxwell tries to respect her every decision. Even when she told him to stop calling or texting her, she needed to focus more on God and herself.

Maxwell did as she asked.

He stayed away for a month but as the second month came, Florence called and they resumed talking and chatting.

She promised to tell him everything she was going through.

They met only twice, one was the first outing they did to the field for the first time.

They second time was going with him to the comedy night. She drove straight to her hotel after the show.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The rest of the talk was on phone.

It was until the middle of the second month, they got to see again.

They went to the best hangout field.
