Sugah & Spice (36 page)

His mother was his first employer and they made great money together. She was able to buy all the luxurious materialistic things she desired, in addition to spending his father’s hard earned money. She was like a viper, slithering her way into both of their pockets anytime she felt the need. Once she moved on to the pool boy, Sampson, Xavier was free from his mother but continued their business arrangement with all the new female clients she had gotten for him. That is when he decided he was done with his mother on a mother-child relationship.
Xavi
e
r
vowed never to live the way his father had and never get tangled up with a woman like his mother. Sadie was just like his mother, and they got along great, always trying to get something from him.
She was the daughter of one of his clients and she wanted him from the very start. Each time he saw her, she was dressed like a whore, leaving nothing to the imagination. Since they were close in age,
Xavier and Sadie quickly became friends with benefits
against his better judgment,
but things suddenly changed when Jade entered into his life.

She was like air.
Around her he was finally able to breathe, relax and feel normal.
He fell hard for her and nothing else mattered once he saw that she was interested in him. His mother didn’t like that she was
young,
intelligent, with goals and ambitions, so she did everything within her power to come between them once she saw how serious their relationship was becoming. She even tried
to help Sadie set him up by gett
ing knocked up. The day Xavier learned of that information, he was furious,
threatening to do bodily harm to Sadie, his mother or his bastard child if anything happened that caused him to lose Jade. He didn’t care that he was older than she.
He was twenty-four at the time and she was seventeen.
She was very mature for her age. That was probably why he was so drawn to Sugah. They had similar features and qualities, which he loved in a woman, confidence
and loyalty
being the most valuable.

The day Jade found him with sad eyes was also the day he stopped being the man he used to be.
He cut off all of his clientele and stopped messing around with Sadie.
He didn’t care about anyone or anything, anymore
or at least he tried
other than Jade
.
Jade was like new life to him and no matter how hard he tried pushing her away she always gave him words of comfort.
He didn’t want his past to keep up with him and make him lose the only woman he loved.
Xavier fell hard. He knew that he wanted to make her his wife and spend the rest of his days taking care of her, giving her all the things she always wanted.
Keeping his love child a secret worked for longer than he imagined, but when Sadie refused to raise her son alone, she began to cause trouble. Xavier knew that his son was innocent, but the ways of the mother always affected the child. So, he decided then and there that the best thing to do in order to keep his son in his life and appease his mother was to play uncle. It all worked perfect until he proposed to Jade and they got pregnant.
He was twenty-five then and Jade had recently turned eighteen, so she was legal to marry him without her parents’ interjection
or consent
.
Soon after,
Jade began pregnant.
They could
finally
be together and raise their child as a happy family
, Xavier thought but the other women in his life had other plans for him
.

Sadie couldn’t believe how he c
ould just marry the first litt
le tramp to spread her legs and say she was carrying his baby. Why wasn’t she or her son good enough? But Xavier knew just how to keep her mouth closed until the day she became ill and told him on her dying bed that she wanted her son to
k
n
o
w his real father
,
and that he had a
sibling
and stepmother. Xavier still didn’t want to chance Jade ge
tting upset
taking his
child
away once he was birthed into the world, and
since
they had begun having
problems due to the “business” as he called it,
that he just pretended to be the uncle instead.
He didn’t want to continue that line of work, but it made him good money. He grew accustomed to always having money and girls to work, so Xavier didn’t protest.
Once he told Jade about Tory’s mother passing and he had nowhere else to go, she insisted on having him live with them.
They had
money
from all of his years of saving, plus now he had others working for him,
so having another person to care for wasn’t a big deal. Jade welcomed Tory with opened arms.

Tory was a delight until Mark came along. He didn’t want anything to do with him. If it hadn’t been for Mya and Simone being around
,
there was no telling what he would have done to Mark. Even though Mark was much younger, he loved being around them. After they got Jade out of the pict
ure, as Mya had convinced him of
doing, they lived like one happy family. Taking a newborn child
away
from
hi
s mother was mean, coldhearted but necessary, Xavier thought
thanks to Mya
.
She painted such a pretty picture of them as a happy family and convinced him that Jade would leave him and take away his so
n
when she learned of his past, which he still didn’t know just how Mya knew about.

Jade never saw it coming. She shouldn’t have threatened to leave the organization and take his son away from him
if he didn’t join her
, he thought. No one told him what to do, no one except for Mya. She had some kind of power o
ver
him or was it her sweet
, juicy, delicious
pussy? There was nothing better than pussy, except young pussy, Xavier learned after being seduced by the young girl late one night when he had gone into his study to check on a business contract after not being able to sleep one night. Jade was nine months pregnant and she didn’t feel up to having sex, and him being the man he was didn’t refuse the advances of the girl when she came into his study wearing only a see through nightshirt. Mya was built like a grown woman although she was still a teenager. Her ass was round and firm. She had supple, full-sized titties that tasted like grapes when he put them into his mouth. Her pussy
was tight and smelled like strawberries
. She knew how to suck a dick the right way and didn’t mind swallowing when he came. She was a dream come true but yet, in the back of his mind, he knew
that sleeping with a minor was wrong.
Why not, he thought? It had been done to him. Besides, h
e was a married man and loved his wife, but he also had needs.

When Jade first found Mya and Simone, sleeping in an alley one night, she gave them money for a hotel and food to eat.
They were only fifteen years old at the time, just a few years younger than he
r
, but she always wanted to help people less fortunate than she.
After seeing them around the city and how they were living on the streets, she asked Xavier to help them by giving them a job.
They learned that they had run away from an abusive home, and was forced to fend for themselves instead of living in the system. Foster care was no place for children, especially young girls, Mya had told them.
Well, he took one look at the gorgeous girls and immediately thought devious thoughts. Although he loved Jade, he was still a man and lust filled his loins. There was something about Mya and the way she was able to persuade him into doing anything she wanted him to. She was no amateur, he gathered after finally agreeing to let them work for the organization. He als
o would experience that fact by
the m
any pleasures she
also
provided him.

The day their little plan was set in motion changed his life forever. After taking Mark and fleeing the country a few years, Xavier lived a life of luxury, with a beautiful young woman willing to do anything he wanted and then some. They were partners taking whoever’s money they could. When they finally moved back to the states, they were set for life and the organization was bigger and better than he could have imagined.
They had it all until Mya got greedy and stole from him. She would pay one way or another, and by any means necessary, Xavier told himself each time he thought about all of his money still missing. He knew Mya and Simone were back in the city
,
and it was only a matter of time before he caught up with them face to face, but his main concern was making sure Jade never learned that Mark was right under her nose. She would kill him for that and he wouldn’t blame her.

For now
t
hings were great and he hadn’t run into Jade or any of her family or friends, which he was grateful for.
He thought back to the night his life was flipped upside down. He was still unclear and confused about what happened that night
,
and he knew who he had to speak
with to gain some clarity. If
he tried to play him again, he would be sorry.
Tory was at the house that night, he had to know something.
Xavier knew that that was a stretch because when he left town, he didn’t bring him along. He was left on his mother’s doorstep. Xavier felt bad for the child knowing that the same things that had been done to him would be done to him, but Mya made it clear that Tory was a threat to Mark and that he
wasn’t welcomed.

Mya was his lover but somehow he had awakened up to Simone in his bed, naked. He couldn’t remember what happened that night but whatever it was changed his life and not in a good way. All he remembered was someone walking into the room and then quickly leaving. He learned after that that Simone had been involved with Khalil, his ex-brother-in-law and that Mya had been seeing his best friend Dexter, whom was also like his family. Being married to Jade was like gaining two brothers he didn’t want. Those two were always in their business and he didn’t like it one bit. That was partly the reason he didn’t care about leaving and taking his son away. No one would be in his business or try to tell him how he should or shouldn’t be handling certain situations.
Even his mother tried to talk him out of leaving, but he knew it was just for selfish reasons. She didn’t want to have to wait on the money h
e
sent her every month once he was gone.

Xavier now hated Mya. She was poison…dangerous…a plague.
He was sure she was behind whatever happened between him and Simone. If only he could remember. That would make things so much clearer for him.
Simone on the other hand was the quiet one. She was even more beautiful than her sister, but she wasn’t into the things that Mya was into. She loved to read, draw and write. She also adored Mark and in more ways than one. When Tory came to him and told him that he was concerned about Simone’s behavior towards Mark, he became worried that his son was in harm’s way.
He
wanted to reach out to Jade then but Mya convinced him with a powerful orgasm that she wouldn’t let anything happen to him or Mark. He should have followed his first mind because after that, all hell broke loose.

Xavier’s thoughts were interrupted by one of his bodyguards signaling someone was th
ere to see him. Wondering who it
could be, he signaled to let
whomever
into his office. The person who walked into his space was the last person he expected to see. They hadn’t spoken to each other in years and he missed having him around. He missed both his sons, although one lived just behind him. Tory smiled at his uncle/father. It was good to see him after all this time. Even though they lived in the same city, they never crossed paths but that was all about to change unless he did as directed.

Xavier knew it was Tory even after the plastic surgery. Sure he had changed his nose and jawline, he could still tell by looking into his eyes. Those eyes looked just like his and Mark’s eyes.
Those eyes were also his father’s eyes.
He knew his son and if Tory wanted to play games, he would for right now. He knew his secret and if he wanted it to remain, he had to pretend he was blind to the fact that his first born son stood in front of him.
Xavier hoped with good intentions.
He waved Tory to have a seat and the two men only stared at each other for a while. The silence in the air was deadly. Xavier wanted to tell him that he knew who he was but thought about hearing the reason for the visit before doing so.
‘
Let’s keep things interesting
’
, he thought to himself.

“So tell me young
man, what can I do for you”, Xavier
asked
, playing along
.

Tory was slightly disappointed that his father didn’t knew who he was, but wasn’t that the point. He sat tall in his seat and cleared his voice. “I think I may have some information that you may find extremely valuable,
S
ir. I came across this bit of information a few weeks ago and I think that you will want to know that your life may be in jeopardy.”
