In a shocking twist that has shaken the very foundations of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke Logan has made a decision that could change everything. After decades of enduring Ridge Forrester’s endless emotional ping-pong between her and Taylor, Brooke has finally said “enough”—and she’s not just walking away from a relationship. She’s quitting her job at Forrester Creations and leaving Los Angeles altogether… for Italy… with Nick Marone.

This wasn’t a spontaneous escape. Nick, ever the opportunist, returned to town with one clear goal: to reclaim Brooke. Over dinner, he saw the perfect storm forming—Ridge rekindling his closeness with Taylor, Brooke stuck in yet another emotional loop, and a rare opening for a fresh start. His proposal? Not marriage, but something just as life-altering: “Come to Italy. Start over—with me.”

For Brooke, that offer was more than tempting. It was liberating. Her entire storyline for years had revolved around waiting—for Ridge’s attention, for his decision, for him to finally choose. But this time, Brooke chose herself.

The next morning, dressed in a crisp white blouse, she marched into Ridge’s office and handed him her resignation. His reaction was pure disbelief—mixed with fury, fear, and a dash of heartbreak. He laughed bitterly, accusing her of falling under Nick’s spell again. But Brooke stood her ground. This wasn’t about Nick. It was about freedom.

“I’m done waiting,” she told Ridge with a calm conviction. And perhaps what scared Ridge most wasn’t her leaving—it was seeing Brooke finally at peace with her choice. For once, she wasn’t begging. She wasn’t broken. She was walking away with dignity.

Later, alone in his office, Ridge held Brooke’s resignation in his hands, her signature staring back at him like a ghost of what they once had. And then, the jealousy hit. Nick, his long-time rival, had stolen the one thing Ridge believed would always be his—Brooke’s heart.

But is it really over? Ridge isn’t the type to surrender without a fight. And as Brooke sets off for Italy, a new storm is brewing. The battle for her heart is just beginning.
