up.
“I just miss your daddy that’s all baby. But I’m so very happy he gave me you!” I said playfully squeezing her nose.
Michael came with us to the cemetery allowing me some alone time with his grave without Stella. She was pretty confused by the situation, but I did my best to explain everything to her.
Once we got to his headstone, I knelt down and pulled Stella on my lap. I held back tears as best as I could, but a few slipped down.
“Stella, this is where your daddy’s buried. Do you have any questions?”
“Can I tell him about my friends at school?” she asked unsure of what to do.
“Of course honey. Tell him anything you want.” I squeezed her tighter.
Stella smiled and touched the stone with her hands. She told him about her best friends Kylee and Mackenzie, told him her favorite character is Elmo, and said she wished she had met him. It was such a relief to see her here with me. She made this process so much easier on me. She took Michael’s hand and walked back to the car. I stayed behind needing a few moments to myself.
“Liam, I miss you. So much. I wish you were here still. Stella looks so much like you. I think about you every day, but I need to tell you that I’m moving on. I will always love you Liam James Weston, and I will never forget you. You were my first love and my best friend. I believe that you are with Stella and me every day. I met a great man named Drake. He is kind and wonderful, and I think even Stella approves,” I chuckled a little at Stella’s first reaction when she saw Drake. “And I just needed to tell you. I needed you to know that even though I am moving on, you will never be forgotten, and you’ll always have my heart. I love you Liam.” Tears rolled down my cheeks. “Goodbye Liam.” I kissed my fingers and planted them on his stone. I stood up, glanced at his stone one more time, and walked back to the car by Stella and Michael.
I brushed my wet cheeks and got back in the car. Michael looked at me for approval and started the ca r. I glanced back at Stella as she was smiling at the window. I was happy to experience this with Stella even if sure she didn’t understand it all.
I decided to call Drake once we got back to my mother’s. Stella was busy playing with my mom , and Michael was catching up on his writing.
“Hey baby, how’s everything going?” he asked, answering the phone.
“Pretty good. My parents love spoiling Stella. It’s great to see them.”
“So I need to tell you something. Don’t freak out,” he pleaded sounding worried.
“Oh my god, what’s wrong?” I panicked.
“Baby, don’t freak out I said. I found out who’s behind the pictures. And I’m taking care of it. But we need to keep under the radar for a little bit until it blows over.”
“I’m confused. If you know who it is, why do we have to keep under the radar?”
“Her name is Kendra Kingston. She was my college girlfriend, and she’s a friend with someone on my security team. I caught her on camera talking to one of them and negotiating a deal. She comes from a very rich and intense family, so that’s why it needs to be under the radar. I need to handle her gently. She’s used to getting her way, and when she called recently asking to get together, I shot her down. And now she’s trying to get revenge on me when she found out about you.” He took a breath finally allowing it to fully sink in. Holy shit… Kendra.
“Is that the same Kendra I heard you yelling at one the phone the other morning?”
“Yeah… you heard? She can be a bit intense. She’s not interested in the money, Molly. She just wants to rattle you. She won’t expose those photos, but the more public we become, the more intense she’ll get. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of her,” he said trying to sound calm.
“So your ex is a psycho, trying to blackmail me to get back at you? This is absurd!” I was furious.
“Honey, calm down. Everything’s going to be just
