A TEAR-DRENCHED CURSE: RIDGE’S FURY AND BROOKE’S FINAL STAND
Forrester Creations had become a glittering cage. Hope Logan’s rebellion—leaving the family brand to launch her own label, Revery—was not a business move but a declaration of independence. With Steffy tightening budgets and creative control, Hope broke away, taking RJ and Electra with her.
To Ridge Forrester, it was treason. Family loyalty was sacred, and Hope’s defiance burned like betrayal. Determined to protect his empire, Ridge used his influence to block Revery’s investors and close every door in their path.
BROOKE CAUGHT BETWEEN LOVE AND LOYALTY
Brooke Logan found herself torn in two. Ridge demanded allegiance; he saw defending the Forrester name as proof of devotion. But Brooke’s heart ached for her daughter’s freedom and vision. Each time she defended Hope, Ridge heard only disloyalty.
Their arguments became a war of ideals—control versus compassion, pride versus understanding. Brooke began to see the man she loved hardening into someone she no longer recognized.
THE NIGHT EVERYTHING BROKE
At Revery’s debut show, the lights rose on a triumph Ridge had tried to crush. The applause was thunder. Watching Hope’s success, Brooke’s pride was radiant—while Ridge’s fury boiled over.
He confronted her backstage, voice shaking with rage and heartbreak.
“You stood against me, Brooke. Against our family!”
Her reply cut through the noise:
“I stood for what’s right, Ridge. For our daughter.”
In the silence that followed, he reached out—not to strike, but to stop her from walking away. She pulled free. His fury collapsed into shame.
BROOKE’S FINAL WORDS
Brooke looked at him with a calm born of pain.
“You crossed a line, Ridge. And there’s no going back.”
She left the arena of their love behind, choosing freedom and dignity. In joining Hope at Revery, Brooke found renewal—not revenge, but purpose.
Ridge remained in their vast, empty home, surrounded by memories that no longer offered comfort. The echo of that night followed him—a reminder that creation and destruction always live side by side, and pride can silence even the truest love.
