All Chapters of No More Sweet Sugar Baby For You Daddy: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ “Maria, David said he’s taking back Belgrave Tech into Hargrove Tech. What will you do once that happens? Stay home and have babies?” One of David’s aunts asked me over coffee after dinner. She showed curiosity about our relationship’s stability. “No, not yet. I’ll help David with guiding the businesses. As I’ve skills and experience that are useful in this situation and David recognizes it. What skills I have is a series is a unique set of skills that allows me to advice and critique. It’s an odd skill set.” With a look to David’s Aunt, I said to David’s Aunt. I hadn’t explained my skills to her because she had no work experience and didn’t expect more from me. I didn’t hate her for it. She came from a different generation and opinions. I wouldn’t hold grudges, at least for now. “Why are you working with it if everything is being taken from you?” David’s aunt inquired and I appreciated her honest question.

~ MARIA BELGRAVE ~ David and I sat in the hospital room. I felt rough, as if I fought with an eager bear. We had proof now that someone had poisoned me. Police investigating Jacqueline questioned if I made up the attempts on my life. It's the proof, not exaggerated. Though, I think they wondered if one officer thought I might have poisoned me for attention.I didn’t know when someone would poison me. It could have been anytime. “No, David, I remember a little after dinner. Everything gets hazy after I sat down and started talking to your aunt. I thought the night went going well. Could have someone dropped something into my dinner? Or would it have been before that? Or in my coffee?” I didn’t know when. I wasn’t familiar with the chemical, and I lacked experience in the research side of the business. “The poison’s slow acting, so it’s not in the coffee. The police suspect your contact was at home or work. Can you imagine how it could have h

~ 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.

~ 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

~ 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.
