Thomas and Paris’s wedding dazzled Los Angeles—elegance, legacy, and love on full display. Paris, ambitious and poised, saw this marriage not just as a personal milestone but as her ascent into the powerful Forrester fold. Thomas, finally appearing reformed, seemed ready to start anew.

But not everyone celebrated. Hope Logan, once the center of Thomas’s universe, watched the event unfold with a tight smile masking heartbreak. Her marriage to Liam was barely intact, and the realization that Thomas—her constant admirer—had moved on struck a deep nerve.

Later that night, unable to fight her emotions, Hope stood outside Thomas’s hotel room, heart in turmoil. When he opened the door, the moment unraveled fast. Her admission of love and regret sparked an encounter that neither could stop. It wasn’t tender or romantic—it was desperate, riddled with remorse. And when it ended, Hope left quietly, while Thomas returned to his new wife, haunted by his betrayal.

Paris, however, was no fool. Her instincts screamed that something was wrong. It didn’t take long before she pieced the puzzle together—Hope had been there. But instead of confronting them, Paris smiled. She played the doting wife, but every hug and kiss she shared with Thomas was a mask. Behind the scenes, she began constructing a chilling plan of vengeance.

When Hope’s pregnancy became public knowledge, the true chaos began. She admitted she didn’t know who the father was—Liam or Thomas. That revelation sent shockwaves through both families. Thomas, already consumed by guilt, hoped Liam was the father. Liam, terrified of losing Hope for good, feared the opposite.

Paris, meanwhile, wasn’t interested in letting the truth emerge naturally. She intercepted the lab technician running the paternity test and paid to have the results tampered with. The result? A vague report demanding a retest. The fallout was immediate. Accusations flew. Tensions peaked. And amidst it all, Paris played the perfect innocent, reveling in the destruction she had orchestrated.

But she didn’t stop there. Knowing stress could harm the pregnancy, she subtly drugged Hope’s drinks with a compound designed to increase risk. Still, the baby survived. And when Hope slipped down a wet staircase—a trap Paris had engineered—doctors discovered the baby was developing faster than expected. That detail hinted at a new timeline, suggesting Liam, not Thomas, might be the father.

Devastated, Thomas confronted Hope, who tearfully admitted to being with Liam the night before the wedding. Her passion that night hadn’t come from clarity, but confusion. Thomas, heartbroken, saw the entire episode as a betrayal. He walked out, finally seeing Paris for what she truly was—calculating, dangerous, and consumed by power.

As Forrester Creations spiraled under the weight of scandal, Paris delivered the finishing blow. She leaked the entire sordid saga to the press, crafting a narrative where she was the betrayed spouse and Hope the scheming ex. The public ate it up. Hope’s career, image, and personal life crumbled.

Now, the only thing left untouched is the sealed envelope at the hospital containing the real paternity test. But no one dares open it. The truth is too volatile, and the damage too deep. For Hope, Thomas, Paris, and Liam, the night of that wedding will haunt them forever.
