Eric Forrester’s world has collapsed in a series of shocking events, exposing the ultimate betrayal and a cold-blooded murder plot. Donna Logan, his seemingly devoted wife, had been harboring a dark secret: a clandestine affair with Ridge Forrester, none other than Eric’s own son!

This forbidden relationship was more than mere infidelity; it was the consequence of a deep rift caused by Eric’s erectile dysfunction. Donna, seeking lost desire and intimacy, found solace in the arms of her stepson, dragging Ridge into a moral abyss between his loyalty to his father and his undeniable attraction to his stepmother.

Eric’s Collapse and the Missing Will

The situation exploded when Eric, suspicious of Donna’s growing distance, confronted her. The truth about Donna and Ridge’s relationship was a crushing blow, destroying not only his love but also his trust in his golden child.

Severely betrayed, Eric took a desperate measure to protect his legacy: he secretly revised his will, leaving the majority of Forrester Creations shares to R.J. Forrester, intending to lock Ridge out of control.

But the drama did not end there. Fearing divorce and the loss of her luxurious life, Donna made a fateful decision. In a desperate and wicked act, she secretly laced Eric’s medication with a lethal dose hoping to make his health decline appear natural.

Ridge’s Cover-Up and the Legal Battle

The next morning, Eric collapsed in his office. Ridge, the first to arrive at the scene, spotted a suspicious pill vial and, in a horrifying decision, quietly disposed of the evidence. Bound by guilt and complicity with Donna, Ridge buried the secret, making him not just a betrayer but part of an even darker murder conspiracy.

Eric’s sudden collapse, combined with the mysterious disappearance of his new will and his personal lawyer, plunged the Forrester family into an intense and treacherous legal battle. Family members, led by Brooke, Steffy, and Hope, launched their own investigations, suspecting one another in the fight for control of the Forrester empire.

Donna and Ridge are now living with the ticking time bomb of their secret, as the truth about the affair and the attempted murder threatens to tear their family apart.
