No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 75: PASSING THE TORCH
~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ “I don’t care Richard. No. You are out. Gone. I won’t debate this. You can leave now.” My Uncle Richard stood before me sputtering and protesting for the better part of an hour. He refused to listen or learn anything new. He wouldn’t carry a phone, take a computer class, use a computer, or any type of modern technology beyond the early seventies. “I’m your uncle.” He believed his relation to the founder entitled him to sit and receive payment. My uncle didn’t believe he had to do anything beyond the bare minimum. “I don’t care. You haven’t maintained your education and kept up with technology. I can’t email you or text you. Which means you can’t function within the modern business environment without assistance and in this business that exposes us to an extra layer of unnecessary staff that can be corrupted, blackmailed, or infiltrated. You have had a successful run and it’s time for you to retire along with my fathe

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ With Jacqueline in jail, Sabrina kept leaving messages for me. I’d texted her and told her not to come to Belgrave Tech because it wouldn’t be appropriate. Security found her mother trespassing there, which led to her arrest. I’d avoided her so far. Now I have my family and businesses secured. It’s time to break it off with Sabrina. I would not confront Sabrina because she’s about as sharp as a butter knife. Just like Sabrina and Jacqueline, I, too, need years of games and gossip. Because if I didn’t, they would get what they desired, and I would become trapped. To prevent that, I know I’m forced to make this a public issue. Jacqueline and Sabrina will not go unscathed by this when I’m done. They won’t hold their position and status when I’m done with them. My first step. I have videos for specific individuals. Influencers, friends, family, and business associates have made videos for Jacqueline and Sabrina

~ SABRINA VINES ~ The antique mercury glass dish shattered against the wall as I screamed in anger. I can’t believe David. The man is such a rude snob. I thought he was like that because he hated me because the Hargrove family raised him to hate the Belgrave family. However, now I’ve found out that I’ve been mistaken the entire time. About that and so much more. Oh, my God. David knew about Maria Bell being Maria Belgrave, and when I brought it up, he didn’t confirm it. He allowed me to prattle on like an idiot. I made a fool of myself. David must have found it funny as hell. I screamed again and knocked over a chair in my anger. I won’t allow Maria to get away. She’s going to hear from me now. This is all her fault, and I’ll ensure she fixes it. How dare she lie about who she is to everyone? What an underhanded thing to do. She always tried to get away from her responsibilities to the family. Taking everything

~ SABRINA VINES~ “No! That’s not true. I’m my mother’s heir! I’m her daughter.” “You’re nothing to her. She has no heir. Jacqueline doesn’t have a next generation of anything. Please. That’s a lie, she’s fed you and you know it. Just to keep you in line so you will do what she wants. Look at you right now. You’re here right now trying to pressure me to pressure the police to release her from jail. I’ve no involvement in that. Did you realize that? Besides being the person, she barged in on at the office. I’m not the one pressing the charges. You see it’s the company who’s pressing the charges on my behalf. I’m the witness, nothing more.” “That’s crazy. You own Belgrave Tech.” “Yes, I own controlling shares. But it acts as its own entity. Oh, Sabrina, dear. This is why Father took away your chances at controlling Belgrave Tech when he learned Jacqueline was buying your grades.” Maria had the nerve to roll her eyes.

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ We sat there as Josy came back in with coffee and tea. She looked like she was about to explode with her emotions. Confusion, excitement, anger, and frustration all played over her face. She didn’t hide it from me, but she held it back. Josy noticed my control over the situation. “Fine Sabrina let’s sit down with some coffee and listen to this. Then we’ll talk about it, feel about it, and then what we’ll do about it. We knew she’d screwed me over, but surprise! When you hear what she’s done to you! Oh boy! Just listen.” “Just play it.” I couldn’t help it. I had to set up the situation for her. Sort of prepare her for what she should expect. Sabrina did not know what awaited her. Jake’s investigator had found an audio file Jacqueline was using to blackmail the arsonist with. [What about your daughter? Should I wait for her to leave before I start?] [No, I don’t care where she is.

~ SABRINA VINES ~ I came here wondering if I would kill Maria. Now she’s sitting here telling me she’s tried to push him away. That he’s using us to get what he wants. That he doesn’t want her any more than he wants me. It depends on the companies in the end. “Are you sure of this Maria?” “Oh, he talks a great story. He’s tried on several occasions to convince me. But I’ve heard him. It’s his family pressuring him to complete the legacy again and punish my family. Well, to punish my family Sabrina, they must punish me. I’m the last member. You were never adopted and now that my father’s dead.” Maria shrugged her shoulders. “Your mother is no longer a member of the family. She’s free of their wrath if she stays out of their sight.” “She won’t, you know. If she leaves jail, she’ll continue making waves for everyone. Mother wants Belgrave Tech no matter who owns it. She believes she deserves to own it for marrying Edger.”

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Maria, what’s this? Are you insane? Sabrina is just one person who attempted to take everything. She supported her mother’s endeavors.” David had pulled me upstairs minutes after he finished his coffee, and he wanted to understand what he walked into. “Well, that’s rich David coming from you. Why did you sit beside me? You’re engaged to her. That was uncomfortable.” “I called her and sent her the information necessary to break everything off. It’s over that’s why she said nothing.” “I don’t care, David. It’s not something I want to deal with. She makes me feel uncomfortable and I don’t trust her. Right now, I’m trying to create a divide between Sabrina and Jacqueline. I want Jacqueline to lose Sabrina’s support. Since I discovered Jacqueline abandoned Sabrina, it’s fair. Jacqueline can rot in jail. Sabrina can struggle, but she might learn and grow. Her grandmother is dead. Jacqueline’s incarceration may

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Maria, stop it. I’ve explained this. If I wanted my inheritance, I had to follow tradition to a point. I achieved that point today and as of tonight I’ve entered a new era by forcing the old guard of the family to retire. I’ve established a new set of rules and placed my people into the positions of additional guard. I’ve broken the contract between Sabrina and me. I’m free for the first time. Now you’re standing here saying this. I understand my tactics to keep you close to me weren’t the best, but I explained that to you. I had to do things for your safety and to keep you with me.” David struggled to express himself amidst overwhelming emotions. Frustration and desperation. David didn’t want her to leave before they settled this. He wanted her to agree that they deserved to drop their resistant behavior and be open to trying to for their relationship. He feared if they didn’t, Maria would end up alone somewhere and the thought broke

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

~ 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
