Hope woke up in a musty-smelling room. She heard someone unlocked the door. It was Quinn, her mother-in-law.

"Well, well, well. . .look who finally woke up!" Quinn smirked as she came inside the dingy room.

"What do you want now, Quinn?" Hope asked.

"I kidnapped you to make sure you understand how much I want you to stay married to my son." Quinn said.

"Well, I'm not. As soon as I get back home I'm getting an annulment!" Hope told her.

"Like hell you are, Hope!" Quinn said.

"You tricked me into marrying your son by making sure Liam didn't make it to our favorite spot in Paris." Hope reminded her. "If you think I'm stayin............."

Just then Quinn grabbed Hope's arm and injected her with a needle she had hidden behind her back.

"Ouch!" Hope cried out. "Why did you do that for?"

But before she could get Quinn's answer, she slipped into unconsciousness.

"Now, Hope, you will remain married to my son, if it's the last thing you do!" Quinn says to an unconscious Hope.

Leaving her lying there, Quinn leaves and locks the door.

"You can come out when you come to your senses and agree to stay married to my son." Quinn says to the door that Hope is locked in.

Just then, Quinn feels a vibration in her pocket and takes out her cell. It is a call from Wyatt.

"Yes, Wyatt, Momma is here. What is it, dear?" Quinn answers her cell.

"Mom, Hope hasn't gotten home and I'm worried."

"Omigosh, Wyatt! Are you sure?" Quinn feigns worry.

"Yes, mother." Wyatt says. "She said she was going to work late, but that was hours ago."

"Well, I'll go to Forrester to check on her. Maybe she's still there." Quinn says, trying to cheer up her son.

"Okay, thanks mom."

"Anything for my baby." Quinn gushes.

As they end their call, Quinn almost feels guilty, but quickly snaps out of it.

"Sorry, baby, but I am only doing this for you, Wyatt. Momma will make sure Hope never leaves you." Quinn says to herself.
