Bruno paces back and forth in the office in mamma's house. He left the house early this morning, with Lexy and the boys, to talk to his brothers. They have no clue what Salvatore's lawyers could possibly want with Scorpia and Dino is trying to find out. He has already made a few phone calls in Italian. And he is getting angrier by the minute.

Ciro is seated at the desk, writing down different scenarios. Dino hangs up and curses through his teeth. Bruno looks at him and Dino says: "No one knows anything. Even the few that are still loyal to Salvatore don't know. There's no family left and he never planted a seed anywhere, if you catch my drift."

Ciro raises his eyebrow and asks: "How the hell is that possible?"

Dino says: "Infertile... He has no siblings and his mom and dad didn't either. His dad has been dead for years. His mother was admitted to an asylum about twenty years ago and she died there last year. The gossip going around says it's about his inheritance. It's a fully legal law firm, for as far as that's possible with Salvatore as a client. He's gathered millions with his 'work'. And no one knows where it is or where it's going."

"We talked to an elderly guy that used to work for him and he says that Salvatore went to a notary when his mother was still healthy and had everything written up there. But he doesn't know if Salvatore ever changed anything after that."

Bruno rubs his neck and says: "We have to show her the letter. But I'll talk to Logan first. And whatever happens, we are not letting her do this alone. I don't trust that bastard one bit, even if he is dead."

His brothers put their hands on their hearts and say: "Here. Forever." They walk out of the office, on their way to the terrace, where mamma and Lexy are sitting, as they watch the boys play football on the grass."

Scorpia sits up and stretches out slowly. Logan walks into the bedroom with two coffee mugs in one hand. "Good morning, Bonnie." He hands her a mug and sits down next to her on the edge of the bed.

She smells the coffee and smiles at him. "Good morning. I slept wonderfully, without any pills."

Logan looks at her lovingly and says: "Yes, you were very relaxed. It was great to see you like that."

She takes another sip of her coffee and asks: "Can we just stay in bed all day? Like we did yesterday?"

Logan says: "Hell no! I would like to keep all my toes. A broken hand is more than enough pain for me."

Scorpia laughs and says: "Yes, mamma is capable of dragging us there by our hair."

Logan nods with a serious look on his face. "And she deserves a relaxed dinner with everyone she loves. It's also a nice way to test our mixed bag of a family."

Scorpia thinks of Enzo and Lucas and smiles. "I can't wait to hug Enzo and Lucas. And mamma's food... Yeah, I might be okay with getting out of bed for a while."

Logan stares deep into her eyes and says: "We could take a bath together first..."

Scorpia blushes a little and says: "No way! That's a guarantee for a loss of toes. If we do that, I don't want to leave the house anymore."
