The Letter



"My dearest Laura, if you're reading this, it will be because I am dead, murdered by your husband..."

Stefan's voice: "Luke's threats against me have become increasingly violent. Despite all proof to the contrary, he continues to blame me for Lucky's kidnap and imprisonment. Luke has asked to meet with me tonight, and I've agreed in the hope that I may find some way to convince him that I could never have harmed your son. However, I know the risk. if things go wrong, I'm concerned about Nikolas, his future. He's going to need all your love and support as he moves into his role as the head of the Cassadine family. Take care of him. And please never let him know who is responsible for my death. Though I want Luke to pay, accusing him will only come between Nikolas and his brother. The friendship Lucky and Nikolas have must be preserved at all costs. Perhaps my death will mark the end of the war between our two families, so you and your children may live in peace and happiness. I regret the lies and the secrecy, everything I did to put distance between us. You are, always have been, so precious to me. My love for you is still there, even if I am not.
~ Stefan."
