Chapter 7:

The Towers ten minutes later, Liz knocks on the door to Jason's penthouse. He opens the door.

"Elizabeth?" He asks looking shocked to see her. She walks in and looks around.

"Who exploded the Pept bottle in here and what the hell is the table doing there? Where is your pool table?" She asks.

"Sam had Maxie redecorate and they got rid of the pool table." He tells her. She shakes her head.

"What do you want?" He asks.

"Well that's a loaded question, but I'm here to offer you a business deal. You already know that I turned your 5-mil into 25-Mil. I told Diane to give you your original 5-mil payoff back. Also included is the price of the house. You also know that with some of my money I invested in the Metro Court. What I'm not sure if you know is that I now own the Towers too. What I came offering you today is a chance to keep your ass out of a jail cell right next to Sonny when he goes up for Rico Violations. Sam's going away for attempted murder, aiding and abiding, and a few other charges including child endangerment. She'll be lucky to get out in 50 years. Now here's my deal. You go to the hospital, get a complete physical, which includes a brain scan because you aren't acting like Jason Morgan. After that to keep your ass out of prison, we'll get married. Of course it will be in name only but it will save your ass. You can move into my house while the construction is being done here. Then once it's completed we will move back here." Liz tells him.

"What do I have to gain from doing this?" He asks.

"Time with Jake so you can get to know your son and a chance to stay out of prison. What more do you want?' She asks.

"I want it to be a real marriage. I want you to become Elizabeth Morgan. I want to adopt Cam and most important I want you in my bed. We are not going to have a fake marriage. It's going to be a real marriage." Jason tells her.

"Are you confusing me for Sam? She's the one you've been fucking everywhere and everyday. I'm the one you tried to pay off to go away. You have zero bargaining room here. I'm the one that holds all the cards so, I'll take the last name Morgan, but that's it as for your requests; No adopting Cam, no to us sharing a bed. Now can you live with that? The offer becomes null and void when I walk out of here." She tells him.

"Fine, I just reserve the right to renegotiate at a later date for now we'll do it your way." He tells her. She nods.

"Ok, the next step is to figure out when we are going to the JP to get married." Liz tells him still standing. Just then the door opens and Sam walks in.

"What the hell are you doing here? He's mine." Sam tells Liz.

"Congratulate me Sam. I'm getting married." Liz tells her putting an arm around Jason.

"No way in hell. I'll see you and your little bastards dead before I let you move in on my man." Sam seethes.

"To late, he's already agreed to the marriage. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to tell the boys Daddies coming home. Oh and Sam get your shit out of my penthouse. Jason. I'll talk to you later about the wedding date." Liz tells him picking up her purse and heading out.

"That bitch has to be blackmailing you. You defiantly don't want that skanky conniving bitch. I'll call Diane and have her file the custody papers for Jake. I'll teach him how to be Jason Morgan's son." Sam tells him curling around him.

"Sam, enough. I don't want Jake to be like me. I want Jake to have a life that's not dangerous. I want him to deserve a real woman, not a woman who has conned men out of money. Do you know why I got back with you? I don't deserve a real woman like Liz. I deserve some 2-bit con woman who will sleep with anyone to get what she wants. Damn it Sam. Liz has always been too good for me, for this life. You, this is who you are. You want to be this whore." Jason tells her.

"Jason, you're being mean. I'm not a whore. I'm not the one that slept with one brother while engaged to the other brother. I'm not the one that had a one-night stand and intentionally got pregnant to try and trap a man. That was all your precious Liz." Sam tells him.

"No, you are the one that slept with Jax and Sonny on the same night needing a paternity test. You are the one that to get even with me and a mother who was forced to give you up as a teen, by sleeping with Ric; who just happens to be Sonny's brother and your little sister's father on the floor of your mother's house. Then claim he forced you to do it. You're the one that slept with Mom's boyfriend because you felt you had to. You are at least as big of a whore if not a bigger whore then Liz. You and Carly are both users and I've let it go on forever, but you know what? It's done. I've been trying to figure out what to do with you, especially after it was brought to my attention that you were the reason my son was kidnapped a second time. That you led the Russians right to him and then made it look like you risked your life to save him so you could be a 'hero'. Liz is a real hero. She's a nurse. She saves lives on a daily basis. You would take them on a daily basis. Hell Jake would never have made a year old if you had your way. If he was still alive he would be with Maureen if you had your way. So don't' you stand there and try and bring Liz down to anywhere near where you are stature wise. The only reason anyone respects you is because you are with me. Well I'll tell you what's going to happen. I'm going to marry Liz, I'm going to do everything that she has asked of me to do which means I have to call and make an appointment with Patrick. I will not lift a hand to help you at all. Diane will be unavailable to you. I doubt that Alexis will help you cause she won't want to deal with the wrath of Lizzie either. You are on your own. If Spinelli chooses to help you, that's his choice. But he will know that his choice will cost him me. Now who do you really think he's going to side with? Someone that would turn on him in a heartbeat or me, someone that's always been there and supported him?" Jason tells her finally feeling a weight lift off his shoulders that he has felt for the last few years.

"If you let me go to prison, I'm going to take you with me." She states.

"And I'll just get Diane to prove you are a bitter, jealous, ex that is trying to break up my happy family. Don't forget even if Spinelli sides with you, I have other tech men. I can make it so you go away forever while I walk away. I could pin Claudia's murder on you right now and no one would be the wiser, well except me, you, Michael, Sonny, Carly and Liz. Name one of them that will back you over me." Jason tells her.

"You are an evil bastard." She yells at him.

"Yep, and I've been worse to Liz these last few years. Time for me to start making a mends to the real person that has always supported me. I forgot that for awhile having all of you users breathing in my ear. Well no more. The only thing I'm going to try and do is stop Sonny's Rico charges. Whatever she does to you or Carly is just fine in my book. Now get the hell out of my penthouse. I'll have your shit shipped to your mom's. Oh and give me your credit cards. You are totally on your own." He tells her.

"But Jason, where am I supposed to go." She demands.

"How about to a friend's house. Oh that's right you don't have any. How about your mom's? Oh that's right once she knows that you fucked Jerry in Mexico she won't want anything to do with you. How about you get a damn job and make some money? Oh wait you had one and couldn't keep it because you want to sit on your ass and let me pay for everything. How about you go do what you do best. Go play on Courtland street. I'm sure Courtney's corner is open." Jason tells her. She looks at Jason with tears in her eyes.

"You are a selfish bastard. You aren't even going to offer to help me with a place to stay." She gets pissed.

"Nope. I've supported your ass for basically the last 7 years. Time to grow up and support yourself. How the hell are you supposed to be a mother if you can't even support yourself?" Jason asks.

"What about Liz?" She demands.

"What about Liz? She's worked since she was 16 years old. She paid for her own college education, she pays all her own bills now." Jason tells her.

"What about the 5 mil you gave her?" Sam demands.

"Oh you mean this 5 mil?" He asks holding up the check? Yeah, she invested it and only kept what was made through investments. Told me to shove the payoff up my ass. Now if I had offered you this, you would take it and be living in a mansion someplace just waiting until the next rich bastard comes along so that you can scam them out of more money. So since the 5 mil isn't a big deal to you. You get zip. Now get the hell out of here." He demands. Sam stomps to the door. She whips it open.

"You will regret this Jason Morgan. If it's the last thing I do, I will make you and that tramp pay for ever crossing me." Sam fumes.

"Try it little girl, just try it and they will never find your body. Franco will make sure of it I'm sure." Jason tells her laughing. She slams out of the penthouse. Jason grins.

"Now to only get rid of the screaming banshee Carly, and Mr. The World Revolves Around Me Corinthos." Jason tells himself feeling some relief for the first time in a long time.
