Hope Springs Eternal: A Liam and Hope Romance

Chapter 3

Liam dropped Ivy off at Forrester as Ivy gave Liam a peck on the cheek, to Hope's chagrin. Ivy smilled at Hope as if to tell her "He's mine, now!"

Hope couldn't take Ivy's non-chalance at having landed Liam just because she was now married to Wyatt. She grabbed Ivy by her hair.

Ivy fought back and slapped Hope back. The two had a drag-out fight right in the foyer of Forrester. Pam and Charlie, as well as Eric and Brooke came out to see what the commotion was.

Wyatt came out after them, and seeing his wife fighting with Ivy, he ran and pulled Hope off Ivy.

"What has gotten into you, Hope?" Wyatt asked her.

"Ivy!" Hope shouted back to Ivy. "She's dating Liam after I told her to leave him alone!"

"I am not dating Liam, Hope! As if it should matter to you!" Ivy told her. "I spent the night on Liam's sofa, and was a little to tipsy to go home. Liam was a complete gentleman the entire night."

"What about the kiss I saw you give him?" Hope shot back.

"I was thanking Liam for all he did for me." Ivy reminded her. "Why should you care? It's none of your business anyway, Hope!"

"I care a lot for Liam and I dont' want you hurting him." Hope lied.

"Oh save the talk, Hope! We both know the real reason!" Ivy said, completely on to her.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Hope continued to lie.

"Yeah, whatever. Go to your husband, Hope, where you belong." Ivy told her.

Hope was just going to go into the conference room to do some work, when Wyatt grabbed her arm.

"What do you want, Wyatt? I have work to do." Hope told him.

"Is what Ivy was saying true?" Wyatt demanded from her.

"You too, Wyatt? Don't you believe how much I love you?" Hope asked.

"Tell me, Hope! Do you still want Liam?" Wyatt asked her.

"Wyatt, dear! You are my husband! You are all I want!" Hope still continued to lie to him.

"Good, I'm glad to hear that! I can't live without you, Hope!" Wyatt told her. "I don't know what I would do if you left me."

"That's not going to happen, Wyatt!" Hope assured him, cringing at the thought of remaining as his wife. "I'm completely committed to you, Wyatt."

Satisfied, Wyatt moved in for a kiss from Hope, who quickly managed to brush off his kiss.

"Wyatt, please, I have work to do." Hope said. "There'll be time for that when we get home tonight."

"Hmmmmm...I can't wait until we get home." Wyatt told her.

After Wyatt left to do his own work at Forrester, Hope wasnt' looking forward to going home tonight. She logged into her laptop to find a way to get out of this marriage to Wyatt and back in Liam's arms, where she belonged and keep Ivy away from Liam for good.
