Maddie POV It had been almost a week since Lara had died. We were conducting her service today. Kate and Colby had graciously transported her body to us and had now joined us for the modest service we would have for Lara. There were flowers, and would be a small gathering of people. Some in particular, wanting to be sure she is really gone such as Samuel and Jasmine. I could not blame anyone for how they felt. Lara had been an evil person and had damaged a lot of lives. Some more permanently than others. Drake came out of his walk-in closet wearing a gorgeous suit. My man cleaned up nicely. Let’s be honest – he looked good in whatever he wore. I was just finding him particularly sexy at this moment. He walked over to me, “How are you holding up?” he asks me raising his hand to my cheek.
