"Dear Elvis, Samantha, and William. Without meaning to sound like a cliché, but Samantha if you're reading this that means that I have passed on or news of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am the Phoenix after all. " Sami read as she rolled her eyes before continuing.
"I am sure you all are wondering why I asked the three of you together firstly to hear my last wishes before my will reading, so I won't leave you in suspense much longer. My dear Elvis..." Sami read looking up to EJ to see him staring at her with a baited breath and his eyes misting over.
EJ nodded his head encouraging her to go on and that he was going to be ok. She didn't want to hurt him more than he already was. She took a breath and started reading again.
"My dear Elvis, from the moment you were born you were my special child. The son that I would be able to leave everything to with an open heart and I could die at peace knowing all my life's work was in good hands. You accomplished everything I have ever asked of you, from your education to work at Dimera enterprises you my son made me so proud to be your father.
This is your destiny and what you were born and raised to be, my heir and I hereby leave you in charge and control of this family. All of Dimera enterprises, of my holdings, properties you are now responsible and hold it all. Lexie, Chad, and my beautiful grandchildren Theo, Giovanni, Sydney..."
Sami read and then stopped reading looking on confused looking up at EJ and then to Will before continuing "Alice and William will all receive stocks, bonds and trust funds as part of my estate and a piece of property of their choosing each. Of course all the children's trusts will be held by Elvis until they are of age."
"Stefano left me a trust fund?" Will said in shock to himself while Sami paused and continued to read.
:Along with special jewellery heirlooms and other property that have been passed down in the family, but all that boring stuff will be told to you later at the real will reading. This letter is about the future head of my family. Elvis, while you made me proud as a business man, you did not make me proud with your latest choice in wife. " Sami read while she started laughing. "Even dead he's insulting Nicole. "
EJ wasn't that amused and wanted Sami to get on with it, "keep reading Samantha. Let's see what lecture my father has of me from the grave."
Sami still smirking decided to re-read that line again just for her own amusement.
"You did not make me proud with your latest choice of wife, in fact the way both you and Samantha handled yourselves on your last marriage go round was not fit for the heads of this family. Elvis you had a wife and child in danger in witness protection while you ran around with that low class hooker. "
Sami read as her eyes got wide and she resisted the urge to laugh again. She sobered quickly while reading the next line about herself.
"Samantha, your running to hide in witness protection to keep the baby from Elvis just so he could carry on with that hooker was beneath you. Samantha Dimera wouldn't just lie down and let that Walker woman take what belonged to her then go shack up with a boring peasant.
I was hoping by my death you both would have come to your senses by now, but alas at this point of time of revising this letter you still had not. Elvis is still chasing the trollop and Samantha was still married beneath herself with the cop.
However recent circumstances that I know of surrounding the night of Giovanni's disappearance and Elvis moving closer to you Samantha has renewed my hope that you both will return on the road you were meant to be on, with each other.
However you both had disappointed me with your prior actions which are why I had to take matters in my own hands for your sakes and the sakes of my grandchildren and this family. "
EJ closed his eyes at hearing this, knowing his father did something.
"Elvis you are the head of this family, Dimera Enterprises is yours. Samantha you are a valued employee of Countess Whilimenia. You have beautiful children together. You both are also... "
Sami trailed off opened her eyes wide and yelled out "Oh my god" while standing up.
"You're both what? " Will asked interested to what the next line of the letter is.
"We're still married aren't we? " EJ deducted from where Stefano was going in his letter in his head and voiced out loud.
Sami looked at him and nodded her head at him.
