No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 83: A SIDE OF DAVID NEVER SEEN
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “So, what’s this David? You’re being merciful on me and insisting I’ll be your wife so that everyone feels they have some kind of perfect revenge? Or your family wins some old family grudge? I have the honor of listening to various members of your family regale me of how sad my family was that they couldn’t keep their line going. Or that they fear I might jinx your line with my faulty genes.” I regretted what I said, but I witnessed his family doing it. I remembered his father’s words to me that day, and I dreaded hearing more of that. “Oh, love. It’s not like that at all. My father didn’t say that to the Belgrave heir. He accused a poor gold digger of scheming for more than she deserved. He worried that woman would cause more trouble than she was worth. My father told me had he realized who you were then he would’ve shot me for not forcing you to marry me then.” David had the decency to appear embarrassed. “What? What ar

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ I studied David’s face, and I saw his anxiety. “I’ve read it. It’s fair, I guess. Josy looked at it before I acted. “But did you sign it?” I sighed and realized I had him in an awkward position. He was having a crisis of some sort. “Yes, I signed it. All right.” I watched as he sighed in relief as a smile returned to his face. “That’s great. Perfect. Thank you. Love, do you understand now? I want you beside me. With me, as my wife. The mother of my children. Does that make sense now?” “Why didn’t you mention it earlier?” “I did Maria. You wouldn’t believe me.” He’s right. I hadn’t believed him. But why wouldn’t I have a reason to believe him? Yes, I wanted to believe him. My experience with everyone told me I couldn’t trust anyone to protect myself. Didn’t he understand that? “David, I never thought twice about it. It’s habit for me to protect myself by no trusti

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ I felt my heart rate ratchet up when I understood the significance Maria said to me. If she showed up, it could cause the Board of Executives to lose their positions. The Head of HR was also on the Board of Executives. He’d lose a lot of incoming and his influence to keep his HR position. Now, I finished reporting this information to an interested police investigator. “I never imagined this. But my new fiancee didn’t explain this part about this her company. With this knowledge, I can combine multiple things. Look, he’s been having an affair with Jacqueline while Edger Belgrave was ill and dying.” “Yes, she still denies it. But Frederick admits that occurred and he’s provided documented proof.” The investigator mentioned to me as he made notes. However, it existed here. Jacqueline couldn’t lie anymore. Her lies prove her guilt now. I could see it now. “Right, Jacqueline lied to him about what she had him do

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ “Fine. Chris told me this. He desired to involve Maria in a situation. He intended to have Maria either sell him Belgrave Tech for cheap or marry him and give it to him. Then he’d set up to kill her. I was supposed to marry David, and he’d meet a sad end as well. Mother was to receive payment along with the Board of Executive members. But now, I think, Chris figured that would keep me happy. However, I suspect he planned to kill them if they became too demanding. I couldn’t bring Hargrove Tech to Chris because he wanted me to marry him only if I came with Belgrave Tech. Now, I was prepared to use the witnesses to gather more information. Chris joined me, and it appeared others might too. This would tidy up everything. Maria snorted before she said. “Sabrina, did you complete everything correctly? What do you think would happen to you once Chris achieved his goal with you?” Sabrina looked like she was about to argue, but s

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ Jake took Josy to the guesthouse where they would enjoy their own private space on their time. “Is that it?” I asked David if it’s just us. “I thought this would never end. Something always seemed missing or overlooked. We had to wait before proceeding. “That’s true. Well, we’re almost past everything.” David smiled. He looked happy, almost giddy. I’d never seen him in a playful state. “What do you mean by that? What’ve we missed?” I couldn’t think of anything. Mind you, tonight a lot had happened, so I played along. Also, I felt curious about why he was acting like this. “You can’t think of a single thing we haven’t done?” He asked. He kept asking in that teasing way. I couldn’t help but wonder what was so important to him. Okay, I wanted to know. “No. I can’t think of anything. At least not right now. It’s been busy and crazy.” I was tired and crazy. The things appeared muddl

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ This went better than I expected. At least l thought it did. I was still wrapping my head around this twist of fate. The lawyer in charge of sorting out the engagement contract mess received a notice from the government. They’re sorting through this to ensure it’s not a scam or an error. But this makes life with Maria equal parts harder and easier. It would have been easier to break the contract with Sabrina. However, I would’ve lost my shirt if I’d failed to live up to my end of the contract. “Jake, prevent the lawyer from mentioning this. I want it squashed. Sabrina isn’t smart enough to realize this. But the lawyer will use it to try to defend himself. I don’t want him to have a leg to stand on. When we’re done with him no one will believe anything that comes out of his mouth. No matter what proof he brings forth.” I said to Jake while I handed several files to a staff member before they left the office. “I’ve got it D

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ This will be fun. The family discovers David’s manipulative living arrangements for five years. We now have one taxation year to figure out how much we owe in taxes as a couple and how we’ll pay them. We’re married. In all but name. The accountant filed our taxes while we lived in the same condo building as if we lived in the same condo. Other legal factors directed David towards the condo, not his house. The house he used to entertain in. Accommodating guests in homes instead of hotels. Now, they’re considered, and everyone now knew it. However, they’d have to deal with their opinions and attitudes. “David, are you sure this won’t be a disaster? You aren’t feeding me to the family wolves, are you?” I was making a joke because I was nervous. The limousine stopped outside of David’s family home and his driver held the door open for us. His bodyguards did their usual thing of hover, and I didn’t notice them m

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Everyone, dinner is served. Let’s go sit and we can start to the first course.” Mr. Hargrove led the way into the dining room. Once everyone settled in their seats. David’s father stood and raised his hand to gain everyone’s attention. Once Mr. Hargrove had their attention, he smiled. “Thank you everyone for attending this evening. It’s seldom we come together for a momentous occasion like this. Our family is seeing leadership is changing. I am stepping down and David is taking my place.” “Uncle, why didn’t you tell us you wanted to step down? Others may have desired to replace you.” “Alan Davis that’s not what I wanted. I didn’t want this family erupting in war and tearing itself apart in war. It’s terrible enough we had snakes trying to get their fangs into our members. It had to happen this way and I’m content with the outcome. That’s the end of it.” “But.” “Enough. I have made my decisio

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
