Steffy runs into Liam's arms as the two kiss passionately. It felt good to feel Liam's kisses again. It was as if it was the way it should have been before Quinn manipulated them all. As Liam and Steffy kissed, thoughts of Steffy lying next to Wyatt in bed came flooding back to Liam, the same memories before he got locked in the airplane lavatory that got him stranded on the flight to Australia.
"I remember." Liam said, pulling away from her.
"You remember what?" Steffy asked with confusion.
"What made me break it off in the first place." Liam stated.
"Broke it off?"
"Why I was so mad at you and ended our engagement and resigned from Forrester."
"So why did you?" Steffy questioned. "I have been waiting to hear about that one too?"
"You slept with my brother." Liam accused.
"Duh? We're married." Steffy reminded him.
"No. before."
"Before what?"
"Before I got locked in the lavatory on Ivy's flight to Australia." Liam explained. "I saw you in bed with Wyatt."
It all came back to Steffy now as she remembered the night she just slept in Wyatt's bed next to him.
"That's the reason you broke off the engagement and resigned from Forrester?" Steffy asked confused. "You saw Wyatt and me in bed together that night?"
"Yes, Steffy. You were cheating on me before?"
"Liam, we were just sleeping that time." Steffy tried to explain to Liam, but he refused to listen to her excuses. "All we did was sleep!"
"Yea. And you two sure looked all cozy lying in each other's arms!"
"Liam, it's the truth!" Steffy pleaded with him.
"Go back to Wyatt, Steffy!" Liam yelled at her. "You evidently wanted him from the beginning!"
"Liam, come back!" Steffy yelled at him. "I love you!"
But Steffy's cries of love fell on deaf ears as Liam left her alone in his hotel room.
As Steffy left Liam's hotel room and went back to her Wyatt's suite, Liam found himself at the hotel lounge. As he ordered a martini, Ivy surprised him.
"Guess who?" Ivy said covering his eyes.
"Ivy?" Liam said surprised. "What are you doing in Monte Carlo?"
"I needed a much-needed vacation." Ivy lied. The truth was, she had read about what was happening thanks to Spencer Publications and decided she could get Liam back now that Steffy was married to Wyatt.
"I'm so glad to see you." Liam said. "I've had a rough time since I got back from my ill-fated trip from Australia."
"So I read." Ivy told him.
"You know all about it?"
"Thanks to Spencer Publications." Ivy told him.
Liam forgot about Spencer publishing the whole ordeal.
"The worst time of my life and I can't believe I let Quinn get away with what she did to me?" Liam said regretfully. "But even worse is what I remembered tonight."
"What did you remember?" Ivy quizzed him, remembering what he told her on that flight.
"I remember why I ended the engagement and resigned from Forrester." Liam told Ivy.
"About Steffy sleeping with Wyatt?" Ivy asked, hoping she now had another chance with him.
"Yes. And of course, Steffy denied it, claiming all she did was sleep next to him." Liam told her. "Can you believe that Steffy lied to me?"
"No, I can't." Ivy secretly smiled inside.
"So, what brings you to Monte Carlo?" Liam asked, changing the subject.
"I needed a vacation, so a friend of mine invited me to come and stay with them." Ivy said.
"A friend?"
"Yes, but the funny thing is. . .when I got here, she denied even asking me." Ivy lied to him. "Now I am here and no place to stay."
"You couldn't find a suite?" Liam questioned.
"Funny thing. . .everything's book due to the Spencer Summit." Ivy said.
"Gee, that's too bad." Liam said. "Hey, why don't you stay with me?"
"Really?" Ivy said trying to contain her excitement. "You wouldn't mind?
"I'd love to have you stay with me." Liam told her. "I need to get my mind off Steffy and Wyatt."
"Well, thank you Liam." Ivy said gratefully.
"Well, shall we go then?" Liam said, extending his hand out to her as she accepted and went with him up to his room, as a dejected Steffy watched.
"Damn you, Ivy!" Steffy said to herself. "I won't let you take Liam from me. I'll get out of this marriage to Wyatt somehow, and when I do, Liam will forget all about you!"
