For years, Ridge Forrester believed one thing: no matter what happened, Brooke would always come back. She was his constant, his Logan, the woman he could leave and return to at will. But The Bold and the Beautiful just shattered that illusion.

Brooke has had enough. Enough of the waiting. Enough of the love triangles. Enough of watching Ridge slip back into Taylor’s arms every time the wind changed direction. Her answer? Leave it all behind.

And Nick Marone was there, waiting with a ticket to freedom. A trip to Italy. A chance to start over, far from the emotional battlefield of Los Angeles.

Nick’s timing was masterful. He saw Brooke’s disillusionment and struck with honesty. “Why stay here and watch Ridge ping-pong between you and Taylor forever?” he asked. “Come with me. Italy. A clean slate.” It wasn’t just romantic—it was logical. Brooke has always loved fiercely, but she’s rarely been loved exclusively. With Nick, she has that chance.

The very next morning, she made her move. With a quiet confidence that stunned even herself, Brooke handed Ridge a sealed envelope—her resignation from Forrester Creations. She was leaving the business, the city, and the man she once called her soulmate.

Ridge’s reaction was explosive. Rage. Shock. Panic. All the things you expect from a man who’s losing control. But underneath that anger was something far more dangerous: regret.

Brooke’s departure wasn’t emotional blackmail. She wasn’t making a scene or demanding a choice. She had already made hers. And that shook Ridge to the core.

But will Ridge fight to win her back—or will his pride let her walk out of his life forever?

There’s more at stake than just a trip to Italy. This is a test of love, identity, and the very essence of who Brooke Logan truly is when she stops waiting and starts choosing.
