She looked around In total wonder.

“You live here alone?

She exclaimed again

“Yeah, with my domestic staffs. you don’t like it? I completed the building two years ago…

She slapped his arm playfully.

“Ofcourse I love it. Looking at the fine structure both from outside and inside is a wow. The engraving on the walls, the art works, the mini grass field and pool, the breath of nature is all I see here. Everything smells and kooks so creative Max… wow. You did a great job… your house is outstanding, is breath taking Maxwell Luke..

Maxwell smiled, expressing a well set dentals.

“Thanks Flox. You made me to fall in love with nature back when we started dating. Even after we ended things my love for creativity didn’t stop. Come with me I want to show you many more.

Florence followed him behind.

She was happy with everything that greeted her eyes. Neat and in perfectly in order.

They have been hanging out, meeting at their usual field, going to movies, comedy shows and other fun place mostly on weekends.

Maxwell has invited her over to his place many times but she always turned it down or give excuse.

She finally made up her mind to honor his invite.

Maxwell asked her not to bother driving, he was going to come and pick her up.

She sent him address of her place and he came earlier than she thought.

He has to wait for her to get ready before they left together

He came with another car, an SUV black not his usual Prado Jeep.

It was more of a quiet drive, Maxwell was the only one doing most of the talking and getting less reply and more nod from Florence.

It was when they drove into the gate after the security opened up did Florence exclaimed loudly.

“I love this Max…

After looking around the compound she throws her hand in the air happily.

“I’m glad you like it. Come let me show you the rest of the property..

Maxwell replied while laughing.

Florence followed him on a tour as he showed her every part of the building.

Florence later settled down.

“I’m a great chef too aside my road Job which has finally come to an end. I learnt different dishes in some of the country I visited. Maybe I will get to show you my cooking skills some day…. what do you think.

“Great… that will be nice Max. I look forward to it.

Maxwell smile before calling on his domestic staffs. He introduced them to Florence.

The cook, the housekeeper, laundry man, the other workers within the compound like the gardner, the two security and pool man too.

They greeted Florence kindly before returning back to their duties.

In no time the cook announced that the food was ready and already set out in the dinning.

Maxwell led Florence to the dining section. everything about the house and it’s setting was absolutely beautiful which includes the dining setting.

The food taste great also.

After dining with Maxwell, they returned to his private sitting room filled with beautiful canvases hanging on the wall.

They went sipping wine and talking generally.

“… This is the result of all my tour, all my hard work, journeying none stop and putting my life and all I got at risk. It was while I was pursuing a better Life that nature took you away from me… making you fall in love with Coleman. The biggest kick on my butt was loosing you Flox but I can’t fight nature or God who knows better than we do. There must be a reason for everything, I only wish you exercised more patient with me…

Florence face suddenly changed into a frown.

“Did you just mention patient? I could have waited patiently for you to tour the entire earth… is that what you meant? You put our love and relationship at stake… if it was important to you then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I used almost three years of my life exercising patient, hoping things will be alright and back to how we started before you got your project testing and traveling job. Sometimes you will be gone for months with no communication. I tried Maxwell to continue rekindling our relationship so that it doesn’t loose it’s flavor. It feels like I’m the only one who values the relationship. I kept calling, kept sending messages with no reply, I kept hoping and praying that things will get better but it gets worst instead. I talked to you severally about it and you promised to Change but never did. Instead you became worst. What are you trying to tell me now… your love for me went cold. If you happen to pick my calls you will end up dismissing me with “I’m busy” sometimes you don’t even take my calls at all. Our love went cold before I met Coleman…

Maxwell interrupted with an apology.

“I’m sorry.. really sorry Flox. I played a huge part in everything that happened to us. I put my joy ahead of our love. I couldn’t manage the two at the same time so I concentrated on the job instead. Worst mistake is not making effort to manage my relationship and my job and giving you a beautiful world like you deserved. Standing by me all those years was everything I needed. Knowing there’s a beautiful soul who believes in me makes me want to work more hard and repay you greatly for your kindness and patient. But I got distracted with my demanding job and loosed you to another. I’m sorry Flox for everything you went through because of my negligence. I… I…

He moved closer to her, took her hands into his, Florence didn’t pulled off as usual.

He spoke kindly to her, she listened to every of his words.

She looked down on her wedding ring which she has not been able to removed despite is over seven months already, almost eight months she left her matrimonial home.

Cole has tried reaching her through different means, he even came to her office twice but she threaten to get him arrested if he continues stalking her for unserious reasons

His excuse was that he needed to get away from Marina for sometime.

Cole saw her as his ways of finding peace from his troubled mistress after which he will return back to her.

He wasn’t ready to do the right thing and bring his wife back home for better this time.

His major concerns remains Marina and the baby and how much he was spending and was almost going bankrupt because of Marina.

Marina was driving him insane and the only solution is to look for his wife and stay with her for sometime before returning back home to Marina

Florence has warned him and threaten him with police that was two months ago.

Florence wish he has realize his mistake and ready to start a new leaf

She miss him and the home she was very used to.
