Chapter 15
"So are you happy now Holly, Tiffany?" Robert asked.
"Yes," Holly said with a smile.
"Now you two can take Rayna and Cayla back to Boston," Anna said.
"No, we want to help," Tiffany said.
"Tiff..." Anna began as the door opened and Sean walked in.
~~~
"Everything will remain the same. Nikolas will take control of the estate, if, of course, that's acceptable with you." Stefan said.
"It is," Melanie agreed. "We have a lot that we need to do." She stood up and walked over to him. "You do know that I wouldn't do this to you now if it wasn't important."
He nodded slightly and watched Fiona in the other room.
"Stefan much has to be done."
"I know. I'll have Alexis began preparing everything to your satisfaction."
"Stefan."
"Melanie...much has to be done and I can't do it, any of it."
Melaine bit her lip. "This is about Jordan," she observed.
He said nothing.
"I have another secret to tell you."
He turned to face her. "One of Helena's?"
"No, one of the Spencers and Scorpios."
He raised his eyebrows. "Pray tell."
~~~
Alexis walked into her penthouse finding someone sitting on her sofa. Brow furrowing in confusion, she approached the sofa cautiosly.
"Hello Natasha."
~~~
"Well Holly I knew you were here, but I didn't know that you actually meant that Tiffany was here," Sean said.
Tiffany smiled at her husband. "Your daughter is in the bedroom."
"And Rayna?"
Anna nodded.
"I see. So, would either of you like to explain what you're really doing here?"
~~~
Melanie moved back to her seat and sat down. "It's about Jordan," she said quietly.
"I already know that she was raised around the Socrpios and the WSB," Stefan said.
"That's not all she was raised around." She paused. "She knows how to successfully fake a death...her own and the deaths of those around her."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that Jordan isn't really dead. Jordan and Zander, along with the help of the WSB, successfully faked their deaths."
~~~
"We wanted to know what was going on," Tiffany said.
"And did you find out?" Sean asked.
"Yes, Sean, we did," Holly said.
"Good, now you both can take Cayla and Rayna and go."
"Sean," Tiffany protested.
"Sean, maybe they can be a help to us," Anna suggested.
He glared at her while she smiled innocently.
"And how would that be?"
~~~
Alexis gasped. The man stood up but kept his back to her. "Sweet little Natasha."
"How...how can you be here?" She asked in a shakey voice.
He turned and walked over to her. She was shaking.
"Natasha, don't be frightened. I'm here to help you."
"Why?"
~~~
"Why?" Stefan asked, as a range of emotions passed over his face.
"Helena wanted revenge against you, Alexis, the Spencers and the Scorpios. The car crash did happen, but it happened after they were attacked. Zander and Jordan killed the men, put them in the car, and crashed it, making it appear to the world that they were dead."
"Helena will pay," Stefan said walking out of the house. Melanie sighed as Fiona walked into the room.
~~~
He looked at her curiously. "Nata...Alexis, you need help right now."
"But why help me now?" She demanded. "You never did before."
"Alexis, I...we all made mistakes back then. The choices I made were to protect you and the rest of the family."
"Right, protect the family. That's always been your goal hasn't it, Mikkos? Protect the family, protect the legacy."
"I WAS trying to protect the family, I was trying to protect the heir."
"Yeah, always trying to protect Stavros. Even when he kidnaps a teenage girl, holds her hostage for two years, forces her into a loveless marrige..."
"Alexis stop. I never said that I was trying to protect Stavros, I said I was trying to protect the heir."
Alexis' brow furrowed in confusion.
"Alexis, Stavros was not the prince."
~~~
Stefan drove back to Port Charles debating what he should do next. One part of his mind told him to go tell Alexis, and the other part of his mind told him to go straight to Luke.
"No wonder he showed no emotion at the second loss of his daughter," he said to himself.
He made a decision and drove towards Harborview Towers.
~~~
"Why did you tell him Melanie?" Fiona asked. They walked into one of the other bedrooms that had been converted into an office. Melaine walked over to the fax machine and read the incoming message as she spoke.
"I have no idea. He needed to know."
Fiona smiled. "So, what do we do now. Stefan is currently out of the way, Zander and Jordan are safe."
"Nikolas isn't."
"Helena wouldn't hurt him."
"She would," Melanie looked up. "She knows who Nikolas' father is."
~~~
"What do you mean?" Alexis asked.
He was silent as he turned away from her.
"Damn't Mikkos, tell me."
"Helena had many affairs during our marrige, as did I, but she had one in particular with Cesar Faison."
Alexis sucked in a breath. He turned to look at her again.
"Stavros was Faison's son."
Alexis was about to ask something else when there was a knock at the door.
"No one can know that I'm alive," he said before disappearing up the stairs. Alexis shook her head in a futile attempt to clear her mind as she walked over to the door and opened it. Stefan walked inside.
"We have a problem," he stated turning to face her. She sighed.
"We always have a problem," she said lamely.
"I need you to get some information out of Luke."
"So are you happy now Holly, Tiffany?" Robert asked.
"Yes," Holly said with a smile.
"Now you two can take Rayna and Cayla back to Boston," Anna said.
"No, we want to help," Tiffany said.
