She planned their wedding. He kissed her rival. And now… she’s gone. Taylor’s death shocks everyone in L.A. — but no one is more devastated than Steffy, Thomas… and Ridge, who may never forgive himself.

The Italian coast sparkled under the summer sun — a perfect setting for romance. But what was supposed to be a dreamy getaway turned into a devastating nightmare.

It all began when Nick’s poorly timed proposal to Brooke took a dangerous turn. In the middle of the chaos, she fell overboard. Without hesitation, Ridge dove in and rescued her. On the deck, soaked and shaken, Brooke clung to Ridge. And just like that — in a moment drenched in nostalgia and adrenaline — they kissed.

It was a familiar scene. Too familiar.

For viewers, it was déjà vu. For Taylor, it was betrayal of the highest kind.

Back in Los Angeles, Taylor was blissfully making wedding plans. Just days ago, Ridge had said yes to her heartfelt proposal. She believed — finally — that she was his one and only. After years of competing, of waiting, of hoping, she thought the story was hers to finish.
