Liam could not believe his eyes, she was here, and Steffy was right in front of him. Badly he wanted to reach out and touch her to see if she was real but refrained from doing so. He saw her staring at him like she was not expecting him at all.

Liam: Steffy? When did you get back?

Steffy: a few days ago. Is there anything you need?

Liam: uh yeah I was looking for Eric to see if we are still on for the interview for Eye for Fashion in a few days like we had scheduled.

Steffy: grandfather retired as of yesterday. I am now CEO and Owner of Forrester.

Liam was floored! Not only was she back in L.A. but was now in charge of her family's company. He smiled and hugged her giving his congrats to her. They talked some more about the interview and Liam left shortly after…..and run right into Hope who seemed absolutely furious.

Hope: hey what are you doing here Liam?

Liam: I came by to see Eric about the interview but he wasn't there.

Hope: yeah I know. Steffy took over and demoted everyone. She also has taken over my line and is making me do the Intimate's Line.

Liam: oh wow.

Liam's phone vibrated.

Liam: that's Katie. I gotta go, sorry.

Hope: hey can we talk tonight? At your place?

Liam: uh sure. I will text you when I get home, if I get home. I have a lot to do.

Hope: I understand. See you later?

Liam: yeah hopefully. Bye.

Steffy had heard the whole conversation but felt like it was time she and Liam talked before he and hope did. She piled some work on Hope and Donna before leaving and heading to Liam's house. She began making dinner just as Liam walked in wearing a suit and tie. She always preferred jeans and a simple shirt on him. He walked into his livingroom to find Steffy standing beside the table putting dinner on two plates with her old apron on, just like the good old days.

Liam: hey Steffy…..what are you…..how did you…why are you…..

Steffy: hey yourself, making dinner, used my old key, and to be nice.

Liam: I was not expecting this.

Steffy: you know with me it's always unexpected.

They ate and chatted until almost one in the morning. They were finally able to talk and get closure with each other with understanding. Liam was secretly hoping to have a chance to be with her again but the way she sounded was like she had moved on with her life. Liam completely forgot about Hope and went to bed loving how he and Steffy were able to catch up without trouble coming in his door. Meaning Brooke barreling her way in and flat out insulting Steffy.

The next day Hope was walking through FC wondering why she hadn't heard from Liam but literally bumped into Steffy and knocked some folders out of her hands. Glaring at Steffy, she walked right past not bothering to help pick the papers up. Donna just sat there laughing until Pam walked in and helped Steffy with the papers. Steffy thanked Pam, glared at Donna who smirked at her and walked off.

Steffy was doing some paperwork and called Pam then Donna in her office.

Steffy: alright today one of you is keeping your job.

Donna: excuse me?

Steffy: Pam you are keeping your job. I love your dedication so please return to your desk and continue with what you do best.

Pam: oh thank you Steffy, thank you so much.

Steffy: from now on in the eye of the public I am Stephanie Forrester, but in private you can still call me Steffy Pam. And it's no problem. Shut the door behind you I need a word with Donna.

Pam: of course Steffy…I mean Stephanie.

The door shuts as a furious Donna turned to Steffy. Steffy was more interested in figuring out what to do about Hope.

Donna: well Stephanie what would you like to speak to me about.

Steffy: you're fired bitch. Pack your shit and get the hell out of my company.

Donna: excuse me?! How dare you speak to me like that!

Steffy: I can because I own you, and now I don't want you in my company anymore.

Donna: Eric won't stand for this…..

Steffy: he. Is. Retired. Do you understand now? You little flea bitten, irritating, stupid, blonde, two timing, barely clothed slut who slept her way to where she is now?

Donna: you can't fire me please Steffy, I need this job.

Steffy: oh don't worry Donna, I am very sure you are going to find another rich man to seduce into your bed and get him to the alter as easily as you did to my family.

Donna: I can't get a job anywhere else, please give me another chance?

Steffy: alright, I am putting you under Pam as her assistant. If she needs anything you get it. If she says jump you say how high, if she calls out your ass better be here on time dressed appropriately as well. Understood Miss Logan?

Donna: of course Steffy.

Steffy: excuse me?

Donna: yes Miss Forrester.

Steffy: return to your separate desk and get started. You are excused.

Donna: yes Miss Forrester.

Donna leaves trying not to cry knowing she had only one more chance to keep her job but hated the fact not only was Steffy in charge now, but she was now taking orders from Pam who heard the whole thing without either woman knowing. Pam was extatic she could now boss Donna around but knew she should only do it for important things concerning work.

Liam was distracted as ever at work. Hope and Wyatt were together and he felt like things were going to get more serious between them. Liam had let go of Hope finally and trying to move on in his life. Ally and Oliver were together officially and Ally had never been happier which made him excited for her. Ally was going through some more serious therapy sessions and was finally able to forgive Taylor who was now married to her dad. Thorne and Taylor had never been happier now that Brooke was with Bill and Ridge was with Katie. Both of them still remained living in Paris claiming neither of them ever wanted to see Brooke and Ridge ever again.

Katie walked in to find Liam done with his piece, but daydreaming.

Hope and Wyatt were driving heading to the new place Steffy had bought for them. Hope was worried about Steffy even being back despite the fact she wasn't chasing Wyatt around like she had done with Liam.

They arrived to find a beautiful house by the beach. It was white and blue with an elegant white fence surrounding the place. Maybe three acres of land and some forest behind it which Wyatt loved immediately. Entering the gate they parked in front of their double car separated garage and went to the double front door. Once inside Hope could only gasp! It was her dream home in real life a grand staircase leading to an open second floor.

The dining room was simple but elegant, with a table and four chairs. The kitchen was already stocked. They went into the livingroom to find a place of both their tastes combined. Light brown walls and pictures of them together littered certain parts of their walls. Also there was a decent sized study for them to collaborate together. Both went upstairs to find four bedrooms and a master bedroom. It wasn't huge but a decent size like Hope liked. The colors were light beige and white with an attached bathroom. Their closet was enormous. Outside was a porch and stairs leading down to the ground. Jelly beans on the ground had them follow to a small campsite which floored Wyatt.

Returning back to the house they found on the kitchen table the deed to the house in their names and a title to a car. Heading there they found a mid-size SUV with a bow.

Wyatt: can you believe this Hope?! Our own house!

Hope: no I can't. It's exactly the house I imagined when I was a kid, nothing enormous or fancy, just decent and beautiful. Why 5 bedrooms though?

Wyatt: guest rooms?

Meanwhile Steffy was just done being informed of Hope and Wyatt being in their new house. Her idea was to get them to start a family. Her plan was in motion. Hope walked in with some folders.

Steffy: do you have the Intimates numbers on you?

Hope: yeah right here. (Hatefully)

Steffy: Miss Logan, use the right tone of voice with your boss or you will be fired.

Hope: sure Steffy.

Steffy: Miss Forrester to you now. And anywhere but private my name is Stephanie.

Hope could only keep her mouth shut and glared at her arch rival. In one single day not only was her entire world shaken to the core, but now if she didn't play nice Steffy would fire her and not have a single care in the world about it. She loved her new house though and she knew Wyatt loved it too.

Meanwhile Wyatt had met his mom at their new building and it was enormous! They went in and found it was bare but knew once they got not only their stuff moved into it, but bought more supplies the place would be alive in a few days!

Quinn: it's enormous Wyatt!

Wyatt: and it's ours. Steffy said we need to hire more hands at least by the end of the day how many do we have right now?

Quinn: let me see. We have 152 out of the 200 she requested. Eric really did come in handy today didn't he?

Wyatt: oh yeah I would have never known some of those applicants really did not have jewelry experience if Eric hadn't run checks on everyone that applied.

Quinn: that Steffy is really something isn't she?

Wyatt: she even redid our contract to where only she can fire us.

Quinn: now Liam can't threaten us anymore.

Wyatt: you know Steffy really isn't so bad like everyone made her out to be.

Quinn: no she really isn't. She has a good business head and experience behind her.

Wyatt: beauty too.

Quinn: do you like Steffy?

Wyatt: no I love Hope. There will never be another woman for me like Hope.

Quinn: you sure?

Wyatt: of course. Hope and I are official and now we are stronger than ever. Nothing can tear us apart this time, not even Liam.

Any good ideas for the next chapter? Let me know hope you all enjoy
