One night of vulnerability with Carter, while Liam was away, had resulted in betrayal. Hope had convinced herself that she could bury it and move forward, but when Liam fought for their marriage, the truth came crashing down. She had to tell him, even though it could destroy everything they had left.
The confession was devastating.
