Chapter 30 Robin headed to her room after she accepted the Cassadine medallion. As she arrived she saw John waiting for her. He smiled at her as she came in. She sat down. She looked at John. Robin: Why are you smiling? John: I just enjoy seeing you so happy. And I am glad that you were able to spend time with Nikolas. Robin: You knew about Mom and Stefan? John: Of course. Those two were wonderful together. You and Nikolas remind me of those two. Robin: Tell me about it? John: Your grandfather brought your mom to meetings here all the time. She and Stefan were together a lot. In fact an arranged marriage was arranged for them. Robin: What happened? John: Stavros. He was a very cruel person. Robin: He hurt mom? John: No. You mother was too well guarded. But he could never find a wife. And tradition said that Stefan couldn't get married until Stavros got married. And when Anna was 17 and Stavros wasn't married the contract was cancelled. Robin: Did they love each other? John: Yes. Stefan loved your mother so much that he let her go. He wanted her to live her dream of being in the WSB. He promised to be there for her and he always was. Robin: I can see that in his eyes. The two of them continue to talk. A couple of hours later, Robin arrives for the meeting.
