Monte Carlo: Lust, Passion & Revenge (B&B Fanfic) (Wattys 2024)

Chapter 4

"Well, you won't believe who had the audacity to show up here in Monte Carlo?!" Steffy raged as she slammed the door to their suite.

"What?!" Wyatt asked. "Don't tell me my mother showed up?!"

"Even worse than Quinn!"

"Who could be worse than my mother showing up?"

"How about Ivy Forrester!"

"Ivy?" Wyatt asked. "What is she doing here?"

"I don't know, but I don't like her hanging around Liam!"

"And why not?" Wyatt asked.

"Because. . ." Steffy started to tell him, then stopped herself. She didn't want Wyatt to know that she wanted Liam back and it looked impossible after her fight with Liam.

"Because what?"

"Nothing." Steffy said giving him a kiss as she tried to forget Liam.

Wyatt wanted so desperately to make love to his wife ever since they had landed in Monte Carlo. But Steffy's preoccupation with Liam had prevented that. So when Steffy planted a kiss on him, Wyatt went with it, forgetting about their problems.

Meanwhile, Quinn is waiting for Eric in the hotel lounge where Eric told her to wait when she feels hands cover her mouth. Thinking it is Eric, she doesn't resist as a rag is place over her mouth and nose and she faints in Deacon's arms, as he quietly carries her off.

Quinn wakes up in Deacon's suite with Deacon hovering over her.

"Deacon?" Quinn asks him surprised.

"Hello love." Deacon greets her with a kiss.

"Get off me!" Quinn demands as she pushes him off her.

"C'mon Quinn, you know you want me!"Deacon taunts her.

"I'm in love with Eric." Quinn tells him.

"Yeah, right!" Deacon laughs as he reminds her. "More like you like his money and power!"

"No, Deacon, I really do love him."

"Yeah, just like you 'loved' Liam?"

"Well. . .that was a misguided notion on my part and I realized I was just playing a role in my plot to keep Liam and Steffy apart so she would marry my son." Quinn told him.

"Well, I realize I still love you and you're 'love' for Eric will not keep us apart." Deacon told her.

"You won't keep Eric and I apart!" Quinn told him.

"I won't have to!" Deacon said, forcing her to face reality. "Eric's family will!"

But Quinn didn't care what Eric's family thought. She would be the next Forrester matriarch and she would not let Eric's family stop her from achieving that title.
