"Almost, he replied just a little more. " He said before taking a pause and continuing on the last part of the letter.

"Elvis, you are last but certainly not least and you are last because I have idea how I am supposed to say good bye to you my son. "Sami looked up at EJ and instantly started comforting by moving her hand up and down the back like she would do with the kids when they are upset.

"I leave you everything. " Mr. Jenkins paused as everyone stared at EJ who just looked down.

"You are my heir in every sense of the word and I'm sure by know you know that. Alas I had to do what I had to do with my CIA deal, you shall understand someday Elvis. " Stefano's letter explained which made EJ understand, but everyone else confused as to what he was talking about.

EJ figure the deal Stefano had with CIA and granting immunity was a very dangerous one and with EJ involved so much in the business, living in the mansion and Stefano's right hand. Stefano wanted EJ far away.

What a better way than to kick him out of the mansion and say he's not his child biologically. He was trying to protect him EJ realized, also coming to the conclusion that whoever shot Stefano could be much bigger than the small time locals of Salem.

"Everything that hasn't been appropriated is yours my boy, this is what I raised you to be and to do. To take over for me, to be the new head of this family and protect it with your life.

It was what you were groomed to do all your life. Don't be too mad at me about that unpleasantness between us or the marriage switcheroo, you'll thank me once you and Samantha pull your equally stubborn and dramatic heads out of your behinds.

For you to do what you need to do as head of this family, you need that woman by your side and you know it. Also, I apologize for not letting you know about that other situation sooner however I felt it was best to not rock the boat so to speak. I know you'll take on this new challenge and take on your family with your strength and smarts. I know you can do it, if I didn't think or had any doubts, I wouldn't be leaving it all to you.

I have faith in your abilities and know the family and company will flourish with you at the helm. I love you more than my life, my boy.

Farewell my familia! Until we meet again. "Mr. Jenkins finished.

Sami raised her eyebrow for the meeting again line, she for sure thought he was out there somewhere alive and well even more now. EJ said he ID'd the body, which she doesn't doubt, but she still expects to Stefano pop up again one day. He is the Phoenix after all.

"We're done here. " EJ choked out before walking over to the bar and pouring a drink. Sami shared a look of concern with Lexie knowing he was hurting and didn't want to break down in front of all these people especially in front of Rafe or Lucas.

Sami at that point didn't care who knew what and suggested the first thing that came mind to get EJ out of that room and fast.

"EJ, would you mind go checking on the kids. I'm sure they're waiting on daddy to tuck them in. " EJ nodded grateful for the escape but also knowing she was now going to be stuck with Kate, Lucas, Nicole, and Rafe when she just announced the kids were in the mansion.

"Go. " She whispered as he took the opportunity and left the room.

Will stood by wondering if he should go with EJ or stay with his mom to face everyone else. He figured EJ would want him to stay by his mom's side and give EJ some time.
