Plans Ahead

Dimitri sat in his room consuming a little quantity of liquor, he had his shirt slightly unbuttoned, his neck tied loose, he wasn't putting on his trouser only boxers, and he also had only his socks on.
The bed looked messed up and it seemed like an activity had taken place there, Dimitri sighed for the umpteenth time, and he gulped down the rest of the content remaining in the tumbler.
He sniffed and his mind drifted to someone he wanted to forget badly and that was Jennifer but his mind refused to understand,... the memories of their fake or false love, the smiles, and kisses, and mostly the sex always had a way of penetrating his mind and leaving him dazed. He had been fûcking some sluts, he would go to the bar in search of beautiful women but none of them were as pretty as Jennifer from his perspective though.
"How long are you going to stay there?" Dimitri yelled, coming out of his reverie.
"It's hard putting it on" She complained from inside the bathroom, she was wearing a female condom, he hated using things like that, he wanted it raw, nothing was more delightful she pleasurable than fucking their insides without any barriers but there was an exception when it came to her, Jennifer, having it raw wasn't her thing.
'Get her out of your head' Dimitri screamed inwardly, he wished he could wipe her off his mind but it was an unattainable task.
Dimitri refilled the empty tumbler with more vodka, he gulped it down in an instant. It hurt him that she was only after his money, he was such a fool to believe a greedy woman like her could love him sincerely, she cheated on her husband while living under the same roof with him, and she rubbed their affair in his face, his could such a woman frankly love him, it's just like planting a stone and expecting oranges. Unfortunately for her, he wasn't really poor and he was the one who sold his company off.
Yes!, he played dumb and acted like he had no idea about the sale but he had orchestrated it, he wasn't as rich as he used to be, some of the jewelry he had gotten Jennifer was fake, and he couldn't afford such luxury anymore, he wasn't Bill gate, he couldn't spend more than he could afford, the company's shares were bought by an unknown person, he could recover it, so he decided to sell the largest share he had which brought him millions but he did not want to squander the money or live a wasteful life and go back to poverty.
He needed to invest, he grabbed his phone from the peak of the pillow and rummaged for the contacts he knew, he began calling them one after the other. He needed to invest but most of them didn't have worthy businesses that he could invest in and acquire profit till a number suddenly called him.
"Hello" Dimitri saluted in a hollow tone.
"Hi, Mr. Dimitri, I heard that you are interested in investing. How about we meet and discuss?" The unknown person said.
"I don't even know you"
"Let's meet at a flower vase restaurant, today, it's a public place, don't worry you are safe," He said, Dimitri didn't trust him but he had to give him a chance.
"Alright, let's meet in thirty minutes" Dimitri sighed and hung up.
The slut came out of the bathroom "I'm done"
Dimitri smirked, he would have some fun and then leave.
******
Dimitri approached him. He had never met this man before but through the description he gave him over the phone, he recognized him.
"Good afternoon" Dimitri greeted with a stern smile. He sat in front of the man, who had natural gray hair, he looked like he was in his mid-forties, and his emerald eyes were peering at him.
"My name is Louis Dickson" He introduced himself and they shook hands.
Dimitri was about to introduce himself but Louis interrupted "I already know who you are, let's drop the formalities, one of my friends who you wanted to partner up with and invest money with but you changed your mind at the last minute, his name is Mr. Xander"
Realization dawned on Dimitri, he frowned slightly, he didn't know if his intentions were genuine or not. To allay his fears Louis explained his business deal to him and it was like music to Dimitri's ears, these were the type of business deals he needed.
A smile brimmed on his face"You are saying that I would earn money every month for two good years "
" Exactly what you heard, Dimitri "Louis smirked.
Dimitri retorted" It's a deal then "
"Deal," Louis smiled.
*****
Late in the evening in Melody's bar, Jennifer resorted to getting a job as a waitress, she was stranded and had to survive.
"You are hired, you will be having night shifts and you will have to be early, you should be here by 7 pm 7pmy day," The assistant manager of the bar told her.
Jennifer cleared her throat "When does my shift end?"
"By 11 pm fair enough" He smiled, he talked like did her a favor by employing her but they were wrong, it was just a temporary situation, she would find a way to get her ex-husband to remarry her and become head over heels for her again.
She had to lay low for now but soon she would execute her plans and make Pearl shed blood instead of tears, she would make her be in heartbreak, anguish, and pain just like she was going through.
"Jennifer, change in the dressing room, I don't want to waste my money on laziness"
Jennifer mentally rolled her eyes, nodded, and walked away.
After changing, she started working, it was much harder than she thought, the more customers came, the more her job became tiresome and exasperating.
"One bottle of brandy, can't you walk any faster!"
"Get me whisky!"
Two men yelled and another complained that the slice of lime given to him wasn't green enough. Jennifer had been feeling tired since she received that beating but now she felt worse, she wasn't used to this type of life.
Those dancing started pushing her, the place spun, and Jennifer held her temples.
"What's happening?"
Before she could utter another word, she blanked out.
…..
Jennifer sniffed and flung her palm to her forehead, her eyes peeled open, her lips were dry and she felt weak.
She stared at the white ceiling ing and then at a woman by her side.
" Where am I?"
"You are in the hospital" The woman replied, she recognized her as her colleague.
"Why am I here?" Jennifer questioned. Agitation was audible in her voice. Did she imagine the worst, was it cancer or maybe a kidney infection? She could hardly pay for her hotel room.
Jennifer tried raising herself but the woman stopped her "Don't stress yourself, I mean the two of you".
"Two of whom?" Jennifer gasped.
"The doctor said you are three months pregnant, you are expecting a baby" the woman smiled at her.
Jennifer was shocked, she touched her belly and broke into a broad smile.
"I'm pregnant".
