Part 5

Sami concluded with page two, getting up to get herself another drink herself before she continued onto page three.

"This is unbelievable" Will stood up and started walking around while talking.

"He's dead, Stefano's dead and he's still out there manipulating everything. You guys are married, you've been married all this time. You and Rafe were never married, you and Nicole were never married. Ali's not my dad's daughter. All this Stefano knew and had in his hat for when he died? Why? And you guys are so calm and drinking! "

"My father was a complex man William, family, blood, being a Dimera was everything. He manipulated and kept his secrets, played his games to move us all around on his chess board of life so he can get the outcome he wanted. Your mother and I are used to it after all this time, plus with all the games we've played with others or with each other over the years as well.

He believes his way is right and he orchestrated everything to get what he wants. Which apparently is your mother and I married with the children together and running the business to leave to them in the future. " EJ calmly stated still not sure how to react to the fact he was still a Dimera and not only that Ali was too.

"What about me? Why am I here, I don't get it. Unless the next page of that letter is going to say you slept with Mom eighteen years ago and I'm yours too. " Will said sarcastically rolling his eyes and sat back down.

"Well lets find out and get to it shall we? " EJ said to Sami as she sat there staring into space with her drink in her hand while still processing everything in her own mind.

This morning she work up in the middle of divorce proceedings with Rafe, married to Rafe and had 2 children with EJ and 2 with Lucas. Now a couple hours later, she was never married to Rafe. Her divorce proceedings are probably faked Stefano documents and she has 3 children with EJ and 1 with Lucas. She wasn't sure herself at this point if the third page wasn't going to declare Will a Dimera although logically she knew it wasn't possible.

Taking a deep breath she began reading again.

"I'm sure you all have a lot on your mind, you are married, and you need to deal with your peasant spouses. Have them removed from your lives. You need to focus on Alice and transitioning her to becoming a Dimera and letting her know that Elvis is her true father. However, there's one more child involved now. William, there's no DNA reports for you declaring yourself a Dimera as much as I may want it. I am sorry for you, but you are Lucas's son. " Sami read as EJ stifled a laugh and was smirking at the comment.

"You may be Lucas's son, but you are really your mother's son. You are more Samantha with your fire and determination. Your quest to be powerful, strong, to learn and take the knowledge that Elvis is bestowing onto you as his protégé. I am proud to call you my grandson, just like I'm sure that Elvis is proud of you to be his step-son. Giovanni is still a little boy. He is the next rightful heir to the family, but until that time your younger brother and sisters will need someone to represent them. Elvis will need a right hand, the way he was my right hand. That person is you William. "

Sami read as she looked up to Will who was staring at EJ who was nodding his head in agreement to Stefano's words.

"You may be Lucas's son, but you are more Elvis's son in your soul of who you are. I'm sure my son Chad will think he should be with Elvis at Dimera Enterprises and running things with him. However, he is wrong. You William are the one that this family will need and you are the one Elvis will need and you've proven yourself already in that regard to him. You are Alice, Sydney and Giovanni's brother. You are my grandson in a way that you speak and act like a Dimera more so than my blood son Chad.

Embrace and relish in the power you possess as a member of this family, EJ's protege and this business. Jenkins has documents for you as well, I don't want you to feel excluded and saddled with Lucas Roberts's name it's beneath you. Elvis, your mother and all your siblings share my name. I want to give you the opportunity to share it as well... "

Sami trailed off with her eyes getting wide as saucers before standing up "oh no, no no no. Lucas will blow a gasket he's already losing Ali, Will you can't. " Sami told Will while Will just stared blankly at her.

"Can't what? Finish reading mom. "

"He wants you to be a true Dimera. " EJ butted in.

"In name and all of it. " EJ showed with a wave of his hand indicating the mansion and lifestyle.

"I'm eighteen, I can't just go declare myself a Dimera when I'm not. " Will said confused.

"There's papers" Sami trailed off reading ahead again. "Let me just finish. " She stated while sitting back down.

"You are over the age of consent William, you have two living biological parents and a large extended family. However that does not matter, your step father has the opportunity to also be your father if you agree to it. Jenkins has adoption papers which would declare you Elvis's son, which would change your name to William Dimera. You'd of course still have your biological father if you choose to still have that imbecile in your life.

However you'd also have another legal father in your corner. One that I'm sure whether you are good or bad, will always be there to take your side. The choice is in your hands, you're an adult and I just provided you with the tools to create a new path for your future.

You have no surprises on this offer, sign the papers or not you will still receive your inheritance and are still the man I want to by Elvis's side.

Although I do hope you'd choose to be a Dimera William. It would make me proud. "

Sami concluded putting page three down and holding onto the one piece of paper left, page four while looking at Will waiting for his reaction.
