~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Maria, I turned the cookies over. The investigator requested the cookie recipe. Did you know? I asked over my phone when the video screen registered Josy’s face. She sat in my home office. This call had two purposes. I missed her like crazy, and we had business as usual to catch up on. The investigators wouldn’t allow her to visit me here. David could visit me. But no one else. They didn’t allow Jake to come with him, and the bodyguards David hired couldn’t go beyond a certain point, either. So, I wasn’t sure how useful they were. If they made David happy, then it’s better than nothing, I guess. “How did you respond to that?” I wanted to know how Josy answered the investigator. I didn’t care if we messed with the investigation. This was my life, after all. I wanted to know how she explained it. As a team, I didn’t intend to harm her or cause a struggle. Investigators want us to struggle and cannot explain or prove our innocence.
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 96: WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO BREATHE
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ I could rest only so much. David had left an hour ago. Tubes, drips, and such remained near my bed. The need in my arm was gone, but what they’d done was tape it to my arm without it. So, now I had to be careful. Someone gave the investigators information that Chris was going to kill me again. He believed they provided information. He still gained control of the company. Why did his plan included killing me? I’m not sure of the reason. I’ll inform everyone once I find out. This is crazy. Which bird brain pencil pusher came up with this idea? I want to trade places with them right now. I’d sat here coming up with pithy sayings because I can feel how upset I am with these people. Who makes a wealthy woman a target for a deranged, wealthy murderer? What would Chris Skyler do when he learned that he now wasted his time trying to kill me? David, this entire time, had control of Belgrave Tech, and killing me would change nothin
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 97: THERE’S ALWAYS A REASON
~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ Maria’s voice didn’t sound as steady as she believed it did. Alone with memories of a man who hurt her, she looked haunted. “Jake, I need you to find everything you can on Raoul Thomas. He’s a new contract hire. Get everything you can ready and send it to the head investigator. If Mr. Thomas calls and asks you questions, you are to avoid answering the questions.” I needed more information about this man. He must have had a reason to harm Maria. “Okay, may I ask why?” Jake’s voice asked. He had that uncomfortable sound in his voice. But I heard his fingers tapping in the background. I knew I could rely on him. “He may be the lynchpin we’ve been looking for. The one who’s been willing to kill without blinking. Mr. Thomas has access to all spaces. He’s been involved the entire time as Edger Belgrave’s assistant. Maria said she knows Jacqueline paid for his loyalties. Mr. Thomas then abandoned Maria near the ho
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 98: CONFRONTATIONS
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ It’s too late to call Josy. So, I wrote an email to her. I tried to explain everything and connect facts in it. Putting pins in the details and dragging strings from pin-to-pin. I wasn’t paying attention when the door to my room opened. I almost greeted David. But out of the corner of my eye, I saw it’s not David. My heart shuddered, and I struggled not to gasp. “Give me a moment more, and I’ll join you.” I said to Raoul Thomas while I type into the email that he’s in my room to harm me and she must send help fast. I emailed with high importance. Then I left the video camera recording and dropped my phone beside my pillow out of sight. Now, I must deal with him alone. Oh, my God. How am I going to do this? I can’t think straight. “Hi, I’m sorry. Was I being too loud or something? I didn’t know there was anyone else on this floor.” I tried to pretend like I thought he was a patient on this floor even I knew there’re none.
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 99: SHIFTING VIEWPOINT EXTENDING TIME
~ MARIA BELGRAVE~ “Stop trying to change the subject.” Of course, if I change the subject, he can’t control the narrative. This is so predictable. I’m sorry, old man. Modern woman broke your code last century and we’ve been passing on the cheat sheet. “Change the subject? How is that changing the subject Raoul? I’m not changing anything. I’m clarifying the subject. You’re using me as a target for your pain. But hey here’s a better idea. How about try something like grief counseling? Killing me won’t stop your pain and you’ll only make things worse. Because then you’ll have my death on your hands.” Not the best thing to say. I can see now David isn’t coming back in time to save me. So, I’m saving myself or getting this over. The man by the bed appeared ready to explode. His face looked alarming now. A deep red glowing flush filled his face in his anger. I had to resist pulling my feet away from him. That might trigger him.

~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ I found the guards. “Maria has company in the room. Someone she’s afraid of. How did they get in there?” I demanded of the guard down the hallway. “What are you talking about? No one entered this floor other than you Mr. Hargrove. They would have had to pass us.” The guard jumped to his feet in surprise. He couldn’t believe someone may have found a way past him. “Well, there was someone hiding in the bathroom of my wife’s room when I walked in and she’s terrified. She just kicked me out of her room claiming she wanted sleep. Maria wanted me here to talk about a keep piece of information. I could see she was ready for our talk, not for sleeping. Get in contact with your superior now. “The person we seek is in there.” I pointed down the corridor toward Maria’s room. I wanted to attack this guard for denying any part of this. “Yes, sir. I’m on.” The officer managed to dial and type on separate devices.
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 101: COMING TO THE RESCUE
~ DAVID HARGROVE ~ “Is Maria aware of the room’s video cameras?” I wondered if she knew if those men had observed her. “No, she doesn’t. We didn’t want her giving away their existence by looking at them or trying to give us a message through them. Though she has her phone beside her, and I think she has it taking video. I believe she’s recording their conversation. That may become valuable later. I desire action in a relaxed environment. I want to see if we sedate him.” The Head Investigator said to us. I spoke as the leader and Maria’s husband. It’s insane because I had Jake pushing to get paperwork processed to match the tax paperwork. “How do you plan to do that? Maria is in there.” Josy asked. She demanded before I could, and I’m glad she’s as concerned as I am. Maria is in a dangerous position, regardless of anyone’s actions. “It’s simple. We can use a dart to sedate him. The door is behind him, it needs to ajar. Then he
No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy CHAPTER 102: THE RIDE HOME
~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ David had come through with the police and they had removed Raoul without him attacking me. Raoul shared many facts with me in his confessions. I’m ashamed that I admitted to David that I thought I was on my own.Without pride, I gave David a copy of the video I made and tried to forget as the night progressed. David ushered me into the limousine, along with Jake and Josy. But I noticed a difference between Jake and Josy. Josy wasn’t ready to go toe-to-toe with Jake anymore. She was sitting beside him and leaning against him. They didn’t talk to each other. We didn’t speak as the car took us home. It’s not a surprise that David continued to hold me. I didn’t mind it at all. After speaking to Raoul, I wondered when he would tire of my words. Then attack me as he’d planned to. I still couldn’t get over how old he’d become and how tired he appeared. With this situation, I’d banked on a few thing
