Chaos erupts at Forrester Creations as Brooke Logan once again becomes the center of a scandal — but this time, it’s not Ridge she’s tangled with. It’s Carter. And their secret tryst is about to shatter lives, reputations, and perhaps even bring down an empire.
It all starts in the Forrester gym — Carter in tight sportswear, glistening with sweat, lifting weights like a Greek god. Brooke watches. A gaze lingers. A fantasy ignites. For a woman with a history of forbidden love, it takes little more than a look for passion to flare. After all, she’s been with nearly every man connected to the Forresters. But Carter — kind, noble Carter — had remained untouched. Until now.
After Ridge’s reunion with Taylor leaves her adrift, Brooke falls back on familiar tactics — seduction, revenge, and reckless abandon. Her ego bruised, her heart desperate, she lures Carter into a night of vulnerability. What begins as a heart-to-heart ends in a tangled mess of sheets and whispered regret — in Carter’s office, no less.
But what they didn’t expect? Ridge. Walking in. Seeing everything.
The look on his face says it all: heartbreak, betrayal, and fury. Not just toward Brooke, who was once his wife, but toward Carter — his friend. The man he trusted. The blow shatters not just Ridge’s trust, but the foundation of the Forrester family itself.
And then, the earth really crumbles.
Eric — the patriarch, the legend, the heart of Forrester Creations — suffers a heart attack. Collapsing in his office, discovered too late by Donna, he dies on the way to the hospital. No miracle. No second chance. Just the silent end of a titan.
Suddenly, every scandal, every grudge, every petty affair fades in comparison to the legacy lost. Eric’s death changes everything.
Will Ridge now lead with grief or vengeance? Will Brooke be exiled from the family once and for all? And will Carter be able to recover from a scandal that threatens not just his career, but his very identity?
The Bold and the Beautiful just lost its pillar — and what comes next will shake the world of fashion, family, and fame.
