Boardroom Showdown

Chapter Thirty Five

Wyatt's POV

Its been a month since Elizabeth was released from the hospital and since Mum and Thorne's wdding was two weeks away the four of us decided to take a little trip to Paris. Caroline, Sky, Liam and Ivy can't travel since apparently the girls are afraid that travelling such a long distance would be harmful for the babies and well the guys didn't want to leave them. Elizabeth was nearly back to normal although because of the damage to her lung she'll need to be on medication and have an inhaler for the rest of her life. I was lost in my thoughts of the suprise I have planned for her when she burst into our hotel room mumbling words obviously pissed off, she threw her purse on the couch but it hit me in the chest and I actually felt pain from the amount of force she used to throw it. It felt like she didn't even notice me as she kept mumbling words and she lit a freaking cigarette.

"Honey, you okay?" I said not trying to hide that she was scaring me.

"I can't believe that slut!!" She yelled out.

"You're calling your dad a slut, and since when do you smoke?" I asked kind of really confused but she still hadn't noticed me.

"I mean she throws herself at him for months and months and he says he won't fall for it this time, that he's over it and over that sick relationship but no he just falls back into his same old freaking habit that for some unknown reason he hasn't been able to break for the past twenty something years." She kept ranting and I got it through my head that she was basically not going to notice my existence until she calms down. I looked at the table though and saw the gift out in the open so I took it and quietly hid it behind my back. Suddenly the room's telephone rang and I got it from behind me and picked up.

"Hey." I said kind of distracted with trying to figure out what Steffy was talking about.

"You too huh?" I heard Elizabeth's voice on the other end.

"Thomas too?" I asked her.

"Yep. Do you have any idea what's going on, he kept rambling on and on about telling him what happened to me and he didn't care." She said.

"And Steffy's talking about him not wanting to break a 20 year old habit." I told her and we stayed quiet for a good minute thinking about what this could be about.

"Shit. Do you think his dad is back with that old hag dad slept with?!" She basically yelled out.

"I wish it was just dad that woman slept with every man we know, Uncle Thorne, Eric, Ridge, mum's ex boyfriend, even your boyfriend thought he slept with her." I said laughing at the end because I knew what was coming.

"I read about that but he was just lying to get his grandmother's shares. I'm sure if he pushed hard enough she would have given it to him too, she's been with everyone else in town after all. But thank god she didn't, Ughh just the image, eww" She said and I laughed out loud litteraly.

"Wait I'll ask her." I told her and put a hand over the phone.

"Steff, does this have anything to do with your dad getting back together with Brooke?" I asked and she looked at me slightly shocked.

"How did you know that?!" She yelled out and before I could answer she went back to ranting.

"That bitch must have put a picture of that ring on the net just to spite us!" She yelled out and went back to ranting.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said to myself and put the phone back on my ear.

"So what did she say?" Elizabeth asked.

"He's engaged to her." I told her.

"Shit! Do you realise what this means?!" She yelled out into the phone.

"What?" I asked confused.

"That low down piece of shit family are going to have a say at Forrestor!" She yelled out and it clicked. I closed my eyes terrified at what's to come if we are forced to work with that family.

"Shit! I don't think we have a freaking choice Liz, unless?" I said as an idea popped into my head but I wasn't sure we can really pull it off.

"Unless what?" She asked curiosly. I checked around and saw that Steffy isn't here, I heard water running so it's obvious she went to the bathroom.
"Up for a little blackmail, sister?" I asked.

"You want to blackmail Ridge into giving you his shares but I thought that dad wrote the 50% he has in your name and that you.." She said before I inturupted her by shushhing her over the phone.

"That's supposed to be a secret so zip it!" I yelled out over the phone.

"Okay, Okay don't get your boxers in a twist!" She yelled over the phone and we both laughed.

"And no sister, I don't want Ridge's shares, but I think your boyfriend might." I asked but in a statement kind of wording.

"Oh okay, I'm good with that, get the paperwork ready I'll track the moron down." She said and we agreed to meet tomorrow and meet with Ridge. I called the lawyer next and told him to get the work ready by 11 am. Then I spent the day cheering up Steffy, we went to the Eiffel Tower and walked along the Seine. It was the definition of perfection, after all I have the perfect girl, in the perfect city. What more can a man need.
