Chapter 4:
Caroline was finishing up dinner when she heard Liam yell out, "Son of a bitch!" She quickly ran out & found herself shocked by what she saw.
Liam had turned on E! News, and it mentioned Wyatt & Hope's marriage. Along with her cousin, Caroline stood there in shock watching as host Giuliana Rancic talked about the wedding details ranging from Hope's beautiful dress to the Neil Lane wedding rings that were exchanged.
What upset Caroline the most was hearing that Rick was there & had given his sister away. Seeing the picture of him & Maya posing with Wyatt & Hope made her feel sick to her stomach. She could also feel Liam's heart breaking.
She knew that this wasn't what he wanted. A couple of months ago, he was going to Tacori to buy Hope a wedding ring. Now Liam was alone, & Hope was now his sister-in-law.
While she felt horrible for him, Caroline couldn't help but feel that maybe this was karma biting Liam in the butt for constantly dumping Hope in favor of Steffy. Deep down, Caroline felt that Liam was getting what he deserved. She hated herself for thinking like that, but she couldn't help it.
As she walked back finish serving up dinner, Caroline found herself getting angry over Liam & Steffy.
Caroline had never liked them together. She always felt that it was a one-sided relationship, fueled more by Steffy's desire to beat Hope at anything including love. Caroline always made sure to steer clear of Steffy because everytime she saw the brunette beauty, she wanted to beat the living crap out of her.
Simply put, Caroline always believed that Steffy was simply the wrong woman for her cousin. Now here he was, upset over losing someone he had loved ever since he had met her. As she made her way into the living room with the bowls of pasta, Caroline's sadness over Liam losing Hope became even more so.
"Here you go," she said handing him a bowl & fork. "Thanks," he said with a sad smile. Both then dug into their food.
"Was your day as sucky as mine?" asked Liam. "Probably. Then again you still have your job, right?" asked Caroline. "Yeah I do. Did you lose yours?" asked Liam. "Yeah I did. I guess I deserved it after everything I did to rip Rick and Maya apart," said Caroline. Liam just sighed.
"All right, Liam. Go ahead. Say it," said Caroline. "Say what?" asked Liam. "Say that I was crazy. Say that I was obsessed with Rick," said Caroline. "You were. On all counts," said Liam. "Thank you. I needed to hear that," said Caroline.
As they continued to eat, something was going on across town. Something important.
Something involving an old Forrester enemy.
