No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 8: MORNING MEETING
We entered the conference room, and the two representatives for Ms. Belgrave were there, as Mr. Edwards warned us. They had all the signed documents and her voting power. I’m furious. She should be here. I’d heard an earful this morning when I picked up Sabrina and Jacqueline. The ten-minute ride here had me in a mood. I expected a fat, homely looking, sad, meek woman waiting. “Where’s your boss? Why won’t she show her face?” Jacqueline asked a blonde woman. They were sharp demands, not questions. The pretty blonde in the blue suit looked up from her seat, cocked an eyebrow. I watched the back of her coworker stiffen at the coffee machine. “Good morning. Ms. Belgrave has responsibilities. She’ll return when she can. She sends her condolences, Mrs. Vines-Belgrave.” Sugar wouldn’t melt on her tongue. Executed with skill. “Since you’re making coffee. Make mine black with three sugars.” I thought nothing of it as I went to take my seat. She’

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ David lost it then and grabbed my arm, leaned toward me. “Ms. Bell. What the hell?” Oh, he’s lost it. “Let’s step out. We’re discussing this now.” “I’m sorry. Why would we need that, Mr. Hargrove?” I looked at Sabrina for help. It felt awkward. He’s her fiancée, after all. Control him. “Stay here Sabrina, it’s business, and not your concern.” She and Jacqueline paused at David’s commanding tones. Useless. “Mr. Edwards, we need a few minutes.” David pulled me with him to an unused room. It happened so fast. I hope no one noticed me wave Josy off. This confrontation was bound to happen. It’s better now. I need clarity on our going forward. Can I keep up this charade? He said nothing. Bloody bastard locked the door and backed me against it as he molded his hard frame against me. Damn, he must be ready to cum in his pants. I can feel his cock straining through his tailored dress pants. D

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ It took me several minutes to persuade David to return to the meeting. Jacqueline caused a scene when we were away, but David handled it. “You won’t be staying once we get down business Jacqueline and nor will Sabrina. There’s no point. Without a voting share, you lack influence in business decisions. Your concern is the funeral arrangements for your husband. Ensure it goes according to plan. We can’t afford a public black eye. Mr. Colins’ departure is the reason for this. Prioritize the funeral and make the media forget his mess. We need them to see this hasn’t harmed the project. Do you expect Ms. Belgrave to do all the work while you benefit from her efforts? If you don’t help Jacqueline, nothing will remain for anyone, even yourself. Understand? You and Sabrina might as well pack your bags and leave if you don’t do your part.” David didn’t mince his words with her. I didn’t expect him to say this. Jacqueline didn’t either, because of her

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Luke Petyr. Hi Maria Bell, remember. How are you? It’s been a while. What’ve you been doing?” I stood up, surprised and thankful, David wasn’t there to hear Luke. I changed schools and graduated. Before using the name Maria Bell. My certification is under Belgrave, not Bell. Since I took a few in-person classes, I have had few friends among my classmates. I graduated with them. But I finished my classes through the internet rather than the classroom. “You disappeared.” He leaned in too close, and his words were a snarl only I heard. A shiver ran through me, at the threatening promise in his voice. “Now you surface, are you connected to the Belgrave family?” I frowned at him. “Think about that. Why would I use Bell if I was?” It wasn’t his business. “After the stories and you refused to explain at graduation. I’m glad you’re well. I’m on the seventeenth floor working as an analyst. Oh, and I’m married to Kelly. She’s o

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Did you take it? Is that where this card came from?” David tried to snatch the debit card from my hand. Damn it. This card wasn’t a company card. It’s the card my mother’s inheritance is on. I don’t know if I could get a replacement for it if I lost it. So, I snatched my hand and the card away from him to protect it. After all, it’s all I have from my mother, other than my looks. “David, I didn’t take your father’s money. This is my money, and I had it before I met you. I questioned if I could use it then. There’s no way he’d believe me and I’m not in the right mood to explain every detail to him. I couldn’t get my food to my mouth. “Where did it come from? A previous lover? Why didn’t you inform me if there was an issue? I would have helped you clear it up.” His anger seemed laced with jealousy, but I know that doesn’t track. He often reminded me that this was not an emotional affair. I shouldn’t allow my emotions to become invo

~ MARIA BELGRAVE~ “I know that’s why I said no. Don’t worry that won’t be happening. Now, I must deal with the board after my father insisted on making David an advisor. The board must hate that David has access to the company’s secrets. If they find out I’m connected to him this entire time; I’ll never gain their confidence. Add in I’ve no access to his company like he has mine. They must be glad Sabrina has no connection to the company.” I had to show the board that he wasn’t taking or stealing from the company. I leaned against the sink counter. There must be a way. “Maria, that’s senseless. Why would your father have him advise you but marry Sabrina. It would make more sense if you married him, and he advised you. You know a power couple. You don’t think it’s Jacqueline screwing up your father’s wishes?” Her logic was overwhelming, but I avoided pondering it. We had to go into the meeting and speak to Mr. Skylar. I never met him, unsure of his demeanor.

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ Jake sauntered over and sat down. By his grinning face, I knew he had an interesting story. “Well? What've you got?” “I’m certain they’re not telling us the entire truth. Oh, and when you check your mail, you’ll find my report on what you wanted. I apologize I had to reach out to someone, which caused a delay.” “That’s fine. Now, what happened. They warned me, we’re in for something unpleasant. Fill me in.” “She’s not the boss. That I’m sure of. As soon as I had her separated from Maria, Josy became a different person. Maria's apparently the leader. If I compared them to us. Josy sits where I am, and Maria would take your position.” “Interesting, it would fit with things I've witnessed this morning. But why?” “Why would we switch places? You tell me. Sometimes it’s easier to get the lay of the land if you’re in the trenches.” “Fine. They have their little deception going on. But for

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ I sat there with Josy beside me. We were flipping through files at a frantic rate to catch up with this project. But it’s hopeless. When the CEO left, he’d allowed another company to hire the two executives who worked on building the framework for this project away from our company. It’s a mess now and I’m stuck trying to work with it. Okay, it’s not like he stole everything. He didn’t. It’s just that I don’t have anyone who can talk to me through this. Why are we doing this now? It’s insane. What decent person calls a meeting like this after one of the power players dies? You’d think they’d wait. Of course not. Bloody cold ass men. Unfeeling jerks. I’ll get through this. Better than them, they’ll see. If they think this’ll phase me, they’ve another thing coming.I’m unsure how to handle David. How am I going to keep him at bay? I can’t go back to him. He needs to see reason, but I’m afraid he wouldn’t be reasonable. Ugh, how can I do this? I

No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 120: EPILOGUE
~ MARIA HARGROVE ~SEVEN MONTHS LATER I had a month, maybe six weeks, until I would give birth to a baby boy. The Hargrove family members were beside themselves, keeping David and me happy because of the baby. The baby impressed them when they learned of it. But their traditional attitudes found satisfaction when they learned our baby was a boy. I would be faultless in their eyes. The collaboration project wasn’t a collaboration as it started. Now, it spanned three divisions of Hargrove Tech. We would use it as a headquarters for all three divisions where we could share research and resources between divisions. With the ground broken and construction started, we were working with the division as they were right now. I’ve settled my business in preparation to hand it over for a time to Josy. So, I could give birth without worrying about the business. Then I could spend my time settling my baby into life at home, bonding with him, healing, an
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 119: AFTER THE HONEYMOON
~ MARIA HARGROVE ~ “Maria, welcome home. You arrived at the perfect time. I can’t believe I’m saying this. Jake has bought out Chris Skylar’s company! What is the world coming to?” Josy came rushing forward to meet us. “Oh, hi. I hope your honeymoon’s good, and you better have some pictures or video. No, I don’t mean naughty stuff either. Did you bring back any souvenirs?” “If you mean a baby? Yes, we did.” I smiled and waited for that to hit through Josy’s rambling. “No, I don’t mean a baby. I mean a new purse for me. Wait. You’re pregnant?!” Josy squealed. “David, you couldn’t keep it wrapped long enough to do a little tourist type thing?” “Josy. Honeymoon. I did what normal men do. I got busy.” David said with a smile on his face as Jake clapped him on his back as he congratulated us. “Let’s get you all home. I guess I can’t say two anymore. Now, can I?” Jake asked with a humorous half smile. He let the sec
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 118: HONEYMOON NIGHT
~ MARIA HARGROVE ~ David was true to his word, and we did land in London, England. Not some other London. He’d teased me most of the way there in the most affection ways. But he wouldn’t touch me on the plane. When I asked him why? David said, “You were Maria Bell then. But now you’re Maria Hargrove. I expect others to respect you, and I must lead by example, don’t I? Isn’t that what all leaders are supposed to do?” He said this in a light tone, but I heard how serious he felt about it. There’s no way I could prepare myself for his words. It’s like a man uttering that he loved you without warning. Or proposing marriage. If David didn’t now have a track record of doing things like this, I would panic. “David, you would’ve not have that long ago. I’ve not changed. It’s you that’s changed and I appreciate it. No, I love it and you all the better for it. Just don’t let it slide back.” “I don’t won’t. But tonight, I want us to forget about the
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 117: GETTING AWAY
~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ Maria didn’t waste time and that kept everything going with a smooth grace I found enjoyable. Other than my uncle’s outburst, it went well in my perspective. Maria’s smile hadn’t left her face all day, and I loved seeing it. Now, with dinner is over, speeches are over, cake cut, marriage documents signed, and first dances done. I’m more than ready to leave. We should head to the airport. I’m not thrilled to maneuver through the airport.I knew my private plane was ready this morning. We’d processed our documentation and flight plan days ago. Jake and Josy stored our luggage on the plane for us this morning. The wedding planner would take care of the clothing we used today and return it to our home. She’d have Maria’s wedding gown cleaned and packed into protective archivist clothing packaging. “Are you ready David?” Maria said from behind me. I turned around when I heard her question behind me. There she was, standing beh
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 116: TOO LATE TO INTERRUPT
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ The wedding ceremony was over. We’d exchanged rings, signed documents before witnesses, and all that. David was all smiles. It’s unexpected, but there it’s. His arm didn’t leave my back. He was true to his promise, and he didn’t leave my side. He gave me attention, as a person and as an object. David’s uncle glared at me after I told the wedding planner it’s fine to go on to the next stage. Which was removing everyone from the church and moving them to the reception hall for dinner and reception. I thought everything was fine. Everyone’s happy. “Are you insane, woman? It’s far too early. The hotel preparations won’t be finished for your guests, and everyone who arrives there will find themselves turned away. How embarrassing. Are you looking to embarrass your guests? How uncouth? David, I can’t believe you think she’s Belgrave. See her,” David’s uncle loudly exclaimed, stomping towards us. His cane banging hard on the har
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 115: WEDDING DAY
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ Some may say spending the night before the wedding together is bad luck. But David didn’t want to leave me alone. He didn’t want to leave my side. His words were something about not trusting people and their double standards. David promised me that he’d stay beside me as long as he could, and he’d determined to do that. Along with the flood of attention he’d been including presents and surprises for me. It wasn’t the first time; he’d given me so many presents. But it’s the first time that the presents and attention were personalized. The personalization all had a theme though. They all faced the future and things she’d need to use in her life with him as his wife. Not just as a piece of jewelry along side his cufflinks. But his partner at work, social events, and at play. From a platinum fountain pen with her name engraved with her name and crystal encrusted, to a tennis dress that matched an outfit for him so they could

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ “I’ve finished everything with the wedding planner and now we must wait for the day. Are you sure you are happy with everything David? Is there nothing you’d like to change?” Maria asked as she settled into bed beside me with a tired smile. She and Josy had spent weeks selecting the wedding planner. They spent an additional three months working with the wedding planner to complete all the details. Now she lay beside me. She was nervous since our wedding was three days away. I returned her smile. We took care of our business today and planned so we could have the time we wanted for our wedding and honeymoon. I think I felt just as tired as Maria. “Maria. You’ve done excellent work with the wedding planner, and I’ve no issues with what you’ve done and planned. I’ve focused on ensuring our businesses and future ventures wouldn’t cause any issues for Jake and Josy while we’re away during our honeymoon.” “Remind me why we’re g
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 113: A CLARIFICATION STATEMENT
~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ “Ah, there you are, Maria. Thank you for informing me first, instead of sharing it with everyone. Enemies seeking control make everything worse. Once Maria entered, I mentioned this to avoid asking why she was late. She seemed so eager to announce it. Maria paused. She was on the verge of speaking. She frowned at me, and I read it as confusion. “Maria. Are you alright? Is something wrong? Anything happen on your way here? “I’m confused because I don’t know how you feel about it. How do you feel about my explanation? Do you hate it? Should I bear the consequences alone?” I sighed in relief when Maria said this. She wasn’t holding back, and that meant we could deal with whatever happened. “Hell, no, Maria. I’ve said nothing like that. Your explanation’s perfect, but I want you to add a few things.” I said to Maria and directed her to sit beside on the sofa beside me. A smile settled onto my face as she sat do
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 112: WEDDING PLANNER COMPETITION
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ I considered it insane, but it’s brilliant to spread the word that we required a creative wedding planner and welcomed ideas. Here we sat reviewing countless submissions, page by page, video after video. “Maria, these people went all out, even throwing a baby shower and revealing the gender, just in case you’re getting married and expecting a child. No pressure there and no assumptions. Ew.” Josy said after closing another presentation package with a look of disgust and tossed it into the rejection pile. She discovered several people like this, assuming and attempting to sugarcoat the situation. But it all appeared as judgmental in the end. “It’s okay. We told no one if I’m pregnant. Thought It’s not a crazy leap to assume why a man as rich as David is marrying his sugar baby in such a rush. Many people share this thought. Hell, I’m not sure how many know I’m the Belgrave heir.” That had me pondering whether I should rew
