“I WANT HER GONE” – Taylor hires a hitman to kill Brooke in Italy | Bold and the Beautiful

🌍 ITALY BECOMES A BATTLEFIELD OF THE HEART

Despite her official engagement to Ridge Forrester, Taylor Hayes is spiraling.

She’s tried to maintain grace, to trust Ridge’s words and intentions—but the shadow of Brooke Logan continues to loom large. Whether it’s Brooke’s flirtatious comments, lingering looks, or Eric’s not-so-subtle desire to reunite “Bridge,” Taylor feels like her love life is being undermined by everyone around her.

Even worse? She’s starting to believe Ridge himself is unsure of where his heart truly lies.

🇮🇹 ITALY: WHERE ROMANCE AND DANGER COLLIDE

As Ridge prepares to travel to Italy with Brooke and Eric for a major Forester Creations event, Taylor sees more than just business.

To her, Italy is filled with candlelit dinners, wistful memories, and dangerous temptation. Watching Ridge board that jet while still wearing her engagement ring is more than she can take.

🕵️‍♀️ TAYLOR’S DESPERATE ESCALATION

Consumed by fear and rage, Taylor makes a devastating choice.

Alone in her office, she contacts a mysterious figure—a man who solves problems permanently. She wants Brooke watched… and if necessary, eliminated.

“If Ridge gets too close, I want her gone.”

Taylor tells herself it’s just protection. But deep down, she knows she’s unleashing something uncontrollable.

🌊 THE RESCUE THAT EXPOSES EVERYTHING

On the Italian coast, Ridge begins noticing they’re being followed. His instincts kick in.

Then—the unthinkable. Brooke vanishes from a boat’s deck. A splash. A scream. Ridge dives into the ocean, dragging her out moments before she drowns.

The attempted murder becomes impossible to ignore.

🔥 THE AFTERMATH: SUSPICIONS AND CONSEQUENCES

Ridge demands answers. Who knew Brooke would be alone and vulnerable in Italy? Who had a motive?

All roads lead back to Taylor.

And with that revelation, everything collapses:

Her career in psychiatry.
Her engagement.
Her already fragile grip on reality.
