Helena stood there and stared at all of them. Liz had been crying so it looked like this was true. “The boy would never leave her here. If he left he would have taken her with him. She’s all he whined about-” She stopped as Luke approached her.
“Over the years I have over looked a lot of things lady. I didn’t kill you when you showed my son photographs of my wife, I didn’t kill you when you used to send my daughter gifts as a threat to me, and I didn’t kill you when my son came home. You should be thankful to my boy that you are still breathing because if it was up to me you would have been dead two days ago.”
“You couldn’t kill me Luke. You’ve tried oh so many times over the years, but never succeeded. Why is that do you think?”
Before Luke could answer Nikolas walked into the house. He’d misplaced his wallet and thought he might have left it there. “Helena!” he said loudly and she turned to him.
(Ok slight change here. Nikolas is Stephen’s son but he managed to hold control of the Cassidine Empire. Helena thinks Stavros is his father.)
“Nikolas dear how nice to see you. How is that sweet young lady you have been spending your time with? You really must introduce her to me.”
“I want you to leave this house. Don’t come back. Don’t go anywhere near my mother, my sister, my brother, or his father. If you do you will be cut off. That hefty sum I allowed my father to set up for you will disappear. You got that?”
Helena stared at her grandson. “You’ve become what your late father has always despised. A Spencer.”
“I’m not a Spencer, but my family is. I am now and always will be a Cassidine. That name just means different things to us. And Stavros wasn’t my father, he was just a male version of you. Now leave.”
Helena did what he said and left. Jason looked to him and said, “You give her money?”
“Yeah for some reason my father wanted to set up a bank account for her. He keeps track of what she spends and how she spends it.”
Jason couldn’t believe this. He had to get to the penthouse and check it out. If what he thought was true then… “Luke make sure Carly and Michael get home safe. Stay here for a while.”
“Jason where are you going?” asked Carly.
“I have business to do.” Jason said to her and then walked over to Liz and Lorenzo. “I’ll see you soon.” He leaned over and gave her a hug. Then he crouched down and hugged his godson. “You have fun with your mom and you’ll be with your dad again soon okay?”
“Kay Unca Jase.”
Lucky was getting restless. The jet was to small it was like being in that room all over again. Sonny was there with him. His man hadn’t showed up and at the last minute he had called Jason to tell him to bring Liz. Then they made arrangements for Carly and Michael to stay at Luke and Laura’s house. Lucky knew that Jason had found out something but Sonny refused to talk about it until they were all together. He looked around the jet again. Sonny was in with the pilot discussing something. He closed his eyes and was soon asleep.
Lucky was sweating, and he was screaming ‘no stop’ over and over again. Sonny heard him and went to him. He leaned over Lucky and shook him. Lucky hadn’t opened his eyes he just swung getting Sonny right in the jaw. “Lucky!” Sonny shouted trying to wake him up. He was scaring the hell out of him. Lucky opened his eyes and all Sonny saw was fear and then seeing Sonny it changed to embarrassment. “It’s okay.”
“I hit you?” Sonny nodded and Lucky said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t…”
“Hey it’s okay. Listen to me I know what it is to be scared. You don’t have to hide that from me.”
“This plane it’s…I used to love riding in these things. I mean look at this it’s like a freaking living room or something. But now I want out of it. It’s too small. I hate it. I’m going to freak out or something.”
“Lucky you were locked in a small room for three years. Do you know about Deke?”
“Your stepdad. I just figure he was a real asshole.” Lucky got a nervous look about swearing in front of Sonny.
Sonny laughed and said, “Your twenty years old kid, besides what you’ve been through your aloud to swear. Yeah Deke was a real asshole. When I was younger after he beat me he’d throw me in a closet.”
“That’s why you’re claustrophobic.”
“Yeah. Being in a small place so long does that to you.”
“How do you get used to it. I feel like I am about to explode.”
Jason sat at the penthouse waiting for Benny. Carly had just come home to get some things for her and Michael. Liz and Lorenzo were already there. They were both in the guestroom taking a nap. Carly came up behind Jason and rubbed his shoulders, “Your so tense baby. What did Nikolas say that had you?”
“I can’t say anything Carly you know that.”
“I know but it was worth a try. Do I really have to stay with Luke? Could you imagine me in his house for a week?”
“I’ll be back in a few days. I don’t want you alone and Luke knows how to deal with things.”
The next morning Lucky was waiting for Liz when he started to look around. They had got to the island late so instead of checking things out he’d gone right to bed. He didn’t sleep long though he woke up with dreams. He had slept in the room Sonny told him was Liz’s, he’d wanted to be close to her. He went into the little boy’s room down the hall from hrs. As soon as he walked in he knew Liz had painted it. It was done up to look like a sky. He could even see the stars on the ceiling that glowed in the dark. He looked at all his son’s toys and noticed the boy had a lot of musical things. There was a picture of Lucky, one Lucky, Nikolas, and Lulu, and one of Lucky and Liz, on the boy’s bureau.
When Lucky went downstairs a girl looked at hi startled, “Who are you?” she asked looking like she was ready to run.
Before he could say anything Sonny came in with a smile, “Carla, your actually scared, don’t let that get out it will ruin your reputation.” She stuck out her tongue at him. “Real mature. Are you sure your twenty-one and not two.”
“Bite me Sonny.” She has had such a crush on him since he started visiting Liz at the island so much. “So who are you? You look familiar.”
“He’s the guy in the pictures in Lorenzo’s room.”
“But…you’re dead. Liz told me so herself.”
“Unca Sonny! You hea!” Lorenzo came running into the room.
“Hey Lorenzo. Yup I’m here.” Said Sonny giving him a hug.
Lorenzo went up to Carla as Jason and Liz entered the room. “Aunt Cawa, my daddy came see me.”
“Hey Renzo.” Said Liz. She knew their son hadn’t seen him yet. “Look behind you.”
Lorenzo did as she said and a smile brightened his face and he ran to Lucky. Lucky picked him up and gave him a big hug. Then he went to Liz and gave her one. “I told you I’d be here.”
Liz smiled at him. She was dying to be alone with him so they could talk, but she wanted t know what Jason had found out. “Renzo honey, go with Aunt Carla, maybe she’ll take you to see Edwin. When they left the room the four sat down on the chairs and couch.
“So what’d you find out Jason? Sonny wanted me to wait for you.” Asked Lucky.
“Lucky someone else knew you were alive this whole time.” Said Jason.
“Who?” asked Liz.
Jason looked at the both of them knowing this would shock them. “Stephan Cassidine.”
