He had been the one who chased Judy out of his life. If he hadn't he might be enjoying her wealth alongside her but greed didn't let him. He remembered when she do tell him, "I will make you a big man one day. Bigger than your brother." But he always took it as bluffing and as dreams she had that will never be fulfilled. Tell him, what does a girl who lost her parents and business have to be a big woman someday? If only he knew she was testing him.
He cursed the day he met Juanita. He also wanted to have fun with her but ended up falling for her. A girl who had nothing. At least, if that plan had worked, by now he would have been rich and had many stores around the country. He sighed and stepped down from the car after parking it well. Juanita opened the door for him and he entered. He looked at her. She was no longer very beautiful. Judy was more beautiful than her. Judy didn't develop baby fat over the years but Juanita was getting fatter. "What's wrong?" She asked him as she observed he looked at her with disgust. "Do I now disgust you?" She asked in a crying tone. That tone melted Jerry's heart as he came back to his senses. "No, you don't. I am just angry," he replied and sat down on the chair, Juanita followed suit.
"Did it go well?" She asked him. On remembering the incident, he frowned more.
"Guess who bought the store?" He told her and Juanita smiled at him and shrugged her shoulders indicating she couldn't guess, "it's Judy."
Juanita eyeball grew wider with surprise. "Judy? The poor girl, your ex?"
"Yes she," he told her, "she bought the shop we stock with more than 10 million at 1 million."
"What?" Juanita stood up, "a million dollar? We haven't even decorated our baby's room. The money will probably finish in a month," she nagged.
Jerry looked at her, "decorate? You didn't even talk about food, clothing and you are talking about decoration?" He screamed loudly at her. Juanita shook with fear and began crying, "stop faking those tears," he barked at her and left to the bedroom.
He was tired of everything. Tired of Juanita the most. Why didn't he settle down with Judy then? Why did he insist on Judy aborting his babies? He thought about life and thought about what greed and revenge has cost him, his grandma, his father, his mother, his monthly dividends and pay and his elder brother who had saved him from death. "What a life!" He murmured and went to the bathroom standing up from the bed in the lavishly decorated bedroom.
