Truths
Part Seven
Alex paced his cell at the PC Jail, as he had done many times in the past few days. Sonny, Alexis, and his father had been working together to get him out of jail. His brothers had visited several times and so had his mother and stepmother. But he wanted out of that jail cell so badly.
A guard came down the hall at that moment. "Hey Spencer! You are out of here! Your family is waiting for you!"
Alex smiled at what the guard had said. He was actually getting out today and his family was waiting for him outside. He couldn't wait. He stepped up to the door of his cell and his hands were cuffed for the last time. The cell door opened and he was led down the hall towards freedom.
Luke, Laura, Lucky, Laurel, Leah, Elizabeth, Nikolas, Cassie, Holly, Emily, Sonny, and Alexis were all waiting in the squad room. Sonny had already given Dara the bail money and now they were just waiting for Alex to be freed. Everyone was anticipating the moment when their family would finally be whole. The Spencer family would finally be whole.
At that moment, the guard led Alex into the squad room. Everyone stopped what ever they were doing as they watched the guard remove the cuffs and chains from Alex's legs and wrists. Once free, all the Spencer siblings rushed over and embraced Alex in a tremendous group hug. Luke, Laura, and Holly joined their children in the embrace. The Spencer family was finally whole.
The group separated as Taggert handed Alex his clothes and allowed him to go and change out of the jail's clothes. He stepped out of the bathroom wearing blue jeans and a green sweater underneath a jean jacket.
Emily had held back long enough and now rushed to embrace him. Alex smiled at her as his arms encircled her. He was safe and happy in Emily's arms and in the arms of his long-lost family.
Luke beamed at his middle son. He was happy that his son was happy. All three of his sons were happy. Liz and Lucky were happy together. Nikolas was happy with Cassie back in his life and also happy that he was a Spencer.
Emily and Alex parted and they walked out of the PCPD in one group to the cars that awaited them. Alex and Emily climbed into Cassie's car, as he would be staying at Cassie's family estate in one of the guest houses on the property. Cassie started the car and started the Spencer family caravan that would end at the Lavery family estate, where a party had been planned celebrating Alex's freedom and the fact that the Spencer Family was now whole.
Alana and her children stepped off of a private jet later that day, the day still seeming bright and ripe with opportunity. She stared around at the town that was now their home. Her cousin's family was finally whole and now it was time for them to receive what was truly theirs. They would create a new legacy for the Cassadines and the first part of it had already been accomplished.
Alana placed her sunglasses on her face, as Dimitria and Natalia followed suit. The boys smoothed the front of the black blazers they were wearing that day.
A snow white limo was waiting on the tarmac for them. The chauffeur opened the door to the limo as they approached it. Dimitria, Natalia, Mathias, Alana, and Alexander stepped into the limo and the chauffeur closed the door. He then stepped around the front of the limo and stepped into his own door and closed it.
"Where to, mistress?" he asked Alana.
"Barrister's Wharf docks. Its time to confront my dear mother in law," Alana said.
The limo takes off for the docks and arrives there within twenty minutes. They quickly step out of the limo and step onto Helena's yacht. The moment of truth had come.
Alana stepped into Helena's sitting room to find her mother-in-law sitting in an ornate chair sipping a glass of wine. "Hello, Helena."
Helena looked up sharply and gasped at the sight before her. It was the one thing she never thought she would ever see. "Alana?"
"Yes, my dear mother-in-law, it's me. It is good to see you again. It's been what, 20 years or more, since we've seen each other?" Alana said with a smirk on her face.
"Yes, since the day we thought we lost you," Helena said.
"You mean since the day you tried to kill me and didn't seem to care if it killed your grandchildren as well," Alana said vehemently.
"Alana, I..."
"You cannot lie to me, Helena! I know what you tried to do to me and the children. Thank goodness for Victor and Angelina finding out about your plans and saving us. Thank goodness, because now, there is an heir!" Alana announced.
"Mathias! He's alive?"
"Of course! Mathias, Dimitria, your grandchildren I was carrying when the explosion happened, Alexander and Natalia, we are all alive and well and will be for a long time to come. As for you, I can't guarantee you'll live past Mathias regaining his rightful place in the family," Alana said.
"Alana, you cannot mean that Mathias would..."
"Oh, yes, he would. You know all the pain you have caused your family, Helena? You kidnapped my cousin's wife and tried to make her my replacement in Stavros's eyes, you caused my cousin's eldest and second eldest son to be raised away from him as well as kidnapping his youngest son and brainwashing him against his family! You killed Alexis's mother while she was in the room for crying out loud! Kristina is being raised in hiding because of you!"
Helena started at that. "That's right, Helena. Kristina Bergman is alive and well and living with a really nice family in Europe. Victor saved her life that day all those years ago and had her raised by a trusted family. She can't wait to get to know Alexis and to see you dead!"
Helena sighed, knowing very well that Alana was serious. She would die if Mathias wanted her to for her crimes she had committed against his family.
Mathias came in at that moment and glared at his grandmother. "Hello, grandmother, are you ready to die?" he asked menacingly.
Helena looked at her grandson and thoroughly examined him. Mathias exuded a great deal of self-confidence as he began to circle the woman who had come close to killing him when he was just a little boy.
Another figure entered the room at that moment and Helena gasped at the resemblance to her mother. This was definitely her eldest granddaughter Dimitria. "Hello, grandmother. It's time for you to meet you maker."
"Dimitria, I know you hate me, but you can't really want me dead," Helena said.
"Oh, you bet I want you dead. And thank you to the family board for indulging my whims. You will die on the cross with the witnesses being the people you hurt. And I am not kidding," Dimitria said. "You will die like the criminal you are."
"Dimitria is right, grandmother. The family felt that it would be better for you to die that way. You will suffer more while you hang on the cross. I'm sure cousin Luke will like it," Mathias said with a smile.
"The legacy belongs to us now, grandmother. And there is nothing you can do about it," came the voice of Natalia at that moment.
Helena gasped as her youngest granddaughter came in view. Whereas Dimitria resembled her mother, Natalia reminded her of Stavros. Her black hair was worn in big curls and her dark brown eyes sparkled with mischief. Natalia smiled at her grandmother's reaction to her. "I remind you of my father, right, grandmother?"
"Yes, you do," Helena said.
"Well, grandmother, that is what happens with twins," came Alexander's voice as he came into the room and came to stand beside his twin sister.
Helena gasped again. Alexander looked so much like his father at that age. It was quite uncanny.
Alexander smiled from beside his twin, then stepped forward and slapped Helena so hard she flew off her chair onto the floor.
Helena's hand flew to her red cheek as Alexander knelt before her. "You deserve that grandmother and a whole lot more," he said menacingly before rising to his feet.
Andreas came into the room at that moment and Helena looked at him beseechingly, but he looked directly at Alana and Mathias. "Mistress Alana, Master Mathias, I am at your service."
Alana smiled at him, then commanded, "Throw Helena in the hold and leave her there. Make sure she is fed and that she stays healthy, but do not fall under her spell again."
"Yes, Mistress," Andreas said before he pulled Helena up from the floor and drug her to the hold of the yacht.
Alana sunk down in a chair with a smile on her face. "No more war between the Spencers and the Cassadines. We are one family now and we always will be."
