Being Mrs Spence

He listened to it again, after the third time he was still not sure he heard it clear.

He turned it on again and began to listen, this time he tries to pay more attention to every detail.

He couldn’t listen to the end when he stood and angrily throw the recordings to the wall and it smashed.

It suddenly dawn on him that he just destroyed his only evidence

The only prove he would have used to nail the culprit.

He rushed to the pieces on the ground and try to see if he can gather it up but it was already ruined.

He put his head on the wall and started hitting it continuesly.

“No… no… no.

Cole fell to the ground, he rolled to one side of the house and continue his anguish cry.

“Is not true, it can’t be true. no… no. this can’t be happening… oh.. oh… my God…

He continued crying.

He has decided to put everything Lizbeth said to heart.

At first he did not want to listen or think about it, but he saw the seriousness and zeal in Lizbeth.

She was ready to go to any level just to prove that she was not making up the story.

All through that night he couldn’t sleep, he called Marina first thing in the morning and luckily her line was going.

She did not pick up immediately, until Cole called upto three times.

“Hello Cole, why are you calling me this early morning? Didn’t Lizbeth give you the information I gave her? I’m on bed rest as the doctor’s orders. I don’t need to be disturbed. You have really been stressing me lately and this rest is very much required for me and the baby. I will be coming home later in the evening, You shouldn’t be interrupting my rest this early morning…

Cole listened to every of her word without interrupting.

Everything Lizbeth said the previous night is still very fresh in his mind.

“Which of the hospital are you presently, I want to stop by..”

Cole asked calmly after she was done ranting.

“What for, to come and do what exactly? You want to come and add to my stress… please don’t come. Ones I’m done with my check up I will be coming home. Aren’t you supposed to be going to your office… what do you want to stop by for?

“I want to know the exact hospital that you are presently in Marina. Atleast for the first time let me watch how your examining process is going. You are carrying my child too, is only normal to participate in some of the things I couldn’t do during your first pregnancy. I want to cherish every memory, pending the time you will be traveling… tell me the hospital Marina…

Marina interrupted quickly

“Cole, you are not making any sense to me. Don’t you know the hospital that I usually use, why asking me again of the hospital. I’m at St Lawrence hospital, this is the hospital I have been using, I only get to change HMO on a special recommendation. You can’t come because I’m on a bed rest. They won’t allow you to see me… go to work and make some money for us because I and the baby will be needing lots of it.

Cole was quiet for sometime he later said.

“, Sure sweetie. I’m sorry to disturb in the first place. Please get some rest. I only missed you last night in bed… you know I can’t stay without you honey. I’m going to work right away. Please take care of yourself and the baby too..

Cole later ended the call, he searched through all the hospital receipt that Marina has been bringing.

He noticed the signatures, the different hand writing. The number there wasn’t even correct.

Cole was ready to dig deeper.

Since Marina will be coming later in the evening, he will have to do whatever he had to do and be fast about it.

Cole quickly drove out, he couldn’t afford a CCTV camera so he decided to buy a recorder instead.

He bought two manual recorder, he hide it away where Marina will not suspect.

One in the room and the other in the gym.

It was carefully hidden away.

After that he took all the receipts that Marina drop, drove out again to the said hospital.

He presented it hospital and there was no doctor with the name on the receipts.

He asked for past record of Marina and also the baby they lose.

They checked all the records no such thing.

After gathering more information, Cole drove back home.

He told Lizbeth that he will be doing some office work and won’t come home tonight.

His line will be off but she should pass the message to Marina.

Lizbeth who has been acting cold and careful after trying to convince Cole but he took it differently.

She nooded to every of Cole’s orders.

Marina retuned home, Lizbeth heart skipped.

she does not know if Cole told her anything concerning what she said.

when Marina asked of Cole, Lizbeth who has become their information carrier passed the message.

“Whatever…”

That was all Marina said with a wave of hand as she went to the room.

Lizbeth gasped out in relief.

Mr Spence have not said anything to her obviously.

Lizbeth can hear Marina laughing and talking over the phone after about fifteen minutes.

She did not bother to find out who she was on phone with.

It was pointless, Mr Spence has fired her for the one she did.

The remaining days she has to spend here she will have to be very careful before somebody stabs or shoot her to death.

She is not ready to die over things that aren’t her business.

Trying to help out was her only way if standing up for the truth and justice but it never works out.

She can’t even sleep or eat without trouble and fear occupying her mind.

Lizbeth noticed Cole didn’t come home that night, Marina had the whole house to herself.

She went from gym to the room talking and laughing over the phone.
