~ 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

~ 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 ~ “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

~ 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 ~ “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
