Luke and Dino's business relationship gets serious. Can Luke deliver? Matt gives Lucky and Alvin bad news.

Excerpt from Shards of Light & Darkness Book 3 Chapter 5

Luke laughed. “Does Dino watch old time mafia movies a lot? The last traditional boss in this area was Victor Jerome. I didn’t know him but from what I’ve heard, I’m glad I didn’t. He’s gone and times have changed. And traditional values? You have to be kidding.”

“Mr. Venturi values loyalty, personal honor and discretion.”

“I don’t know about loyalty these days but money talks.” Luke looked at Franjo. He was having a terrible time reading this man. He was too intelligent to be a mere bodyguard. It seemed to Luke that Franjo had Dino’s trust. Therefore, it was in Luke’s best interest to stay on his good side.

“Some of us still value what money cannot buy,” said Franjo. He placed the list in front of Luke and took out a thick envelope and placed it on top of the list. “There is the ships’ manifest, the list of destinations and dates and an advance of one third of the full payment.”

Luke’s eyes lit up at the unexpected windfall. “That’s very generous.”

Helena Cassadine is not one to be trifled with but even she has something to lose. Will she lose everything she holds dear?

Excerpt from Shards of Light & Darkness Book 3 Chapter 4

For the first time, Helena’s hauteur slipped a little. She flinched at the open revulsion in Nikolas’ eyes. “Too weak. So much like Laura,” said Helena under her breath.

Thanos glanced at Helena. “All valid and pertinent testimony has been presented. The testimony of the late Pompey Valakos reveals your participation and influence. As such, the charges against you stand. By right, the accused must have his or her say. The accused may respond to questions or comments from the Peers should there be any.” He nodded at Helena.

Helena stood up. Silently, she scanned the assembly then said, “As calumny and scorn pour upon my head, I say this - your judgment today seals your fate! All of you and especially YOU!” Helena stared hard and long at Thanos. “Truthteller? Slander pours from your lips! YOU are the pretender here! I am Helena Valakos Cassadine, and I always will be. Pass your judgments but who among you would have done differently to save their house? There are some here who have certainly done worse!”

Anna fills the team in on what happened to her at the ball. The mayor begins to squirm.

Excerpt from Another Season Chapter 37

Anna looked at all their faces. There was something they were hiding. "The water wasn't just tainted was it? Was it poisoned?"

"You asked about Bettina before, luv. She collapsed at the ball. Her champagne was spiked with a strong drug. She's in a coma right now," said Robert. "Monica doesn't believe she'll make it."

"Oh,no," said Anna. Unconsciously, she wrapped an arm around Robin and held her close.

"Gets worse. The day after the ball Cassandra disappeared. Before we found you today, we found Cassandra locked inside her car. She was dead," said Robert. "The lab has confirmed that the same drug that was in the Bettina's glass was in the water we found in the car."

Anna gasped. "That ... that could have been me!"

Another Season 36

Robert brings Anna home and finds she's a handful in a wholly unexpected way.

Excerpt from Another Season Chapter 36

Wakefulness tugged at Anna but she resisted afraid to lose the feeling of warmth and safety she was currently enjoying. Another tug. She groaned out loud. "Um, no."

"All right, sleeping beauty, have it your way," said Robert. His voice seemed to be near and far at the same time.

Cold air hit her face and her eyes fluttered open then closed again. "Robert?"

"Hush. We're going home," said Robert softly.

A little smile tugged at the corners of Anna's mouth. "Home ... "

Robert seeks advice from Anna on a topic she's an expert on. The stress is getting to Maxie. Helena prepares for Conclave.

Excerpt from Shards of Light & Darkness Book 3 Chapter 3

Anna grinned. “It WAS. The ultimate adrenalin rush. The only thing better was when I held Robin for the first time. I decided to change then and there.”

Robert teased, “I don’t know about completely changing.”

“What do you mean?”

“You created the persona of Luv to be your interface with Robin.”

“That was necessary. She was a … a buffer. I couldn’t risk anyone knowing a connection between me and Robin, could I?”

“You kept it going for six or seven years. And, you had a scar. Let’s see that’s Luv blonde wig and all, Anna Devane scarred dealer and fence extraordinaire and under all that was my Anna. Admit it! Multiple personas is your drug of choice.”

Anna laughed. She returned to her packing. “You are being ridiculous!”

“Didn’t you find it difficult juggling all those different personalities and roles for years?” asked Robert in all seriousness. “I’ve only got the one and it’s really hard for me. What’s the trick?”

Shards Bk 3 Ch 2

Sean recalls the meeting that changed his life and Anna's. Robin tells Nikolas the truth which leads him to make a decision about Helena.

Excerpt from Shards of Light & Darkness Book 3 Chapter 2

“Analysis believes a woman would have a better chance than a man,” said Philip. “We haven’t had much success with those women we’ve sent out for him. Charming as they are, they’ve been of marginal interest or ignored altogether. However, we do know he has a type.”

“Which is?”

“Brunette, above average in height, elegant, smart.”

“Beautiful?”

“Not necessarily but she’ll have to catch his eye so she has to be at least pretty,” said Coughlin. “Oh, and she has to be British and if she’s a sharp chess player that would be a plus. Faison is a highly intelligent and disciplined man, Sean. Find a woman that would appeal to his mind and you have a good chance. The accent seems to be a quirk of his.”

“That’s a tall order,” said Sean. “I’ll start going through personnel files and-“

“No. She can’t be someone who’s been in the field. You have to make it difficult for the DVX to prove she’s not who she seems to be. For her own safety if she gets as close to Faison as we hope she does, her cover must be above suspicion.”

Another Season 35

Robert reaches the limits of his temper and explodes. Anna's desperate but she's going to go out with a bang not a whimper!

Excerpt from Another Season Chapter 35

Anna smirked. Had she gotten to him?

"When this goes all wrong and it will, you're the ONE who's going to PAY! Not the boss! YOU! You want to know why?"

There was no response.

"Because you're STUPID! DUMB! That's why!" yelled Anna pressing her mouth close to the opening. "The fall guys always end up in PRISON paying for their own STUPIDITY!"

CLANG!

The sound was followed by muffled cursing. The cursing made Anna feel somewhat better.

"Stop this before your family, your friends, see what an IDIOT you are." Anna kept the pressure on. "A smarter man would realize he can't run away forever. You will be FOUND. Do this and I guarantee Robert will find you wherever you are! You will NEVER be a FREE man!"
