Leonard slides the requested paperwork under her door and after reviewing that flash drive she is fucking livid and yet she feels liberated because she knows the major players and what they did to her and if they are not dead they will be. She reviews the paperwork and it is very fair if she had reviewed that flash drive before that phone call this paperwork would be very different. She has decided that is not going to tell them everything because they would kill Jason and if they did not kill him they would slowly torture him and the dark part of her would enjoy that they need him to end these wars. She is going to proceed and she knows he will agree because she is not giving him a choice he will still help because she is the mother of his children and despite all of the bullshit he loves kids and they love him. She will not tell them all of these horrible things but one day when they ask why Mom and Dad are no longer together she will be honest without destroying his relationship with them. That is the last fair thing she is going to do for him. She signs the divorce papers and holds onto them until these wars are over because there is more power in being unified than in being divided. She is going fucking break him. She is going to pretend to forgive him and give him hope for a future and then rip it all from him. She places the papers in her secret compartment and decides to get ready and dressed for the day. Hmmm oh yes this outfit is going to piss him off and bother her brothers. She is finally dressed and heads downstairs for breakfast. Matteo is the first to speak " Elizabetta where is the rest of your outfit?" Lizzie responds: dear big brother it is a beautiful day and it is warm and this outfit is fit for the day." Sofia says " I think she looks hot in her black leather mini skirt with her red crop top and her makeup is impeccable. One of these days sister you are going to teach me how you get your eyeliner that perfect." Lizzie answers " One cannot give up all of her secrets but since you punched that slut so hard it knocked her off the chair I guess I can be charitable today." She reaches across the kitchen counter to reach for the strawberry syrup and Giovanni says " I am all for freedom of expression when it comes to fashion but when bending over we can see your underwear and as much I love you I do not need to see all of you." Lizzie says " Relax I do not plan on doing any bending over today after that and I promise if I do I will squat like a proper young lady." Jason finally makes his entrance and the room goes quiet. Lizzie decides to break the tension " Quick recap My husband was an asshole I forgave him and had a ton of his babies and since I know I forbade anyone telling Papa or our children we are going to proceed forward and end this mob war and Cassadine feud. You do not have to like him but you will listen to him since he knows more than we do and you will respect him. How I choose to deal with my husband is my business and our relationship is off-limits. Are we all clear? Because I am not repeating myself." Everyone mutters and grunts in agreement. Lizzie says " Now Jason what is the report on Courtney and is she still breathing?" Jason says " She took your threat seriously and told me everything we know and I reached out to my contacts and they will get back to me on their validity." Lizzie says "Okay next topic so I did some thinking about our next step and we need to grab Sam so we can cross reference Courtney's info and then see what additional information we can get. She can provide info but we need to be careful because is smart and evil and it is possible she will tie up loose ends and switch up her plans or she will be so arrogant nothing will change. Everything that happened last night can also be used as an advantage we can pretend that everything is so bad between me and Jason he will be in favor of Helena's plans so that he infiltrates her camp and once we have her right where we want her find her allies and then kill them. As far as Sonny goes we can take Jason's lead on that front. We just have to decide who the bigger threat is first and handle the smaller one first. That way we can take a breather and move forward with the bigger enemy. Giovanni says " Spoken like a true Giambetti I love how you think. Providing us with multiple avenues now will decide which one would be the most efficient." Sofia says " How about we do all of it grab Sam, pump her info, kill her, have Helena believe Jason wants to be a part of her family, and get her to trust him so we can find out all the players and take them all out. We just cannot let her near the children." Lizzie says " So how about it my dear husband can you handle pretending to care about Helena enough to get what we need?" Jason thinks why does it feel like there is a double meaning in that sentence? Jason says " If the information does not pan out from Courtney or Sam I would be willing to get close to Helena." Lizzie says " Good now let the games begin but first I need to enjoy my chocolate chip pancakes with my strawberry syrup and bacon, yummy."
