The woman once known for healing has just ordered Brooke Logan’s death.
Despite being officially engaged to Ridge Forrester, Taylor Hayes feels her world slipping through her fingers. Every smirk from Brooke, every whispered memory, every push from Eric to reunite “the true love story” between Ridge and Brooke has driven Taylor to the edge. She’s tried to play the calm, collected fiancée. But the cracks are showing.
And now—Italy.
Ridge and Brooke are headed there under the guise of a Forrester Creations business trip. But for them, it’s more than fashion. It’s the place where their love once burned brightest. Taylor knows it. Ridge knows it. And Brooke? She’s already packed her silk gowns and secret smiles.
The jealousy boils into obsession. Alone in her office, Taylor makes a phone call that will change everything. A man picks up. Not a private investigator. Something darker. “Follow her,” Taylor instructs, her voice trembling. “Every step. Every move. And if Ridge gets too close—” she pauses. Then finishes, cold and clear—”I want her gone.”
Gone. Not embarrassed. Not exposed. Gone.
Taylor’s descent into darkness is complete.
What she doesn’t know is Ridge has already sensed something’s wrong. In the cobblestone streets of Tuscany, a figure lurks too closely. Brooke laughs, unaware. Then, on a coastal walk at sunset, the unthinkable happens. Brooke slips. Screams. Ridge turns just in time to see her body fall from a rocky ledge into the sea.
Without thinking, Ridge dives in. He reaches her just before the waves claim her completely. But the danger isn’t over. Because now, Ridge knows—it wasn’t an accident.
Back in L.A., the fallout begins. Who wanted Brooke dead? Who knew she’d be vulnerable in Italy?
The truth leads to Taylor. And suddenly, everything she’s built begins to crumble. Ridge confronts her. Her eyes fill with tears—but it’s too late.
“I wanted to protect what’s mine,” she says.
“At what cost?” Ridge demands.
Taylor’s license, her reputation, her family—they all hang in the balance.
Was this a one-time act of desperation? Or the beginning of Taylor’s transformation into something more dangerous, more unhinged, than anyone ever imagined?
