1988 (#19) - The wedding in Las Vegas between Victor and Leanna

The news of Victor and Nikki's divorce was learned in the press as a great event, a clear consequence of the revelations in Nora's book. The whole press is wondering if a reunification between Victor and Ashley is imminent at this point, which is then stormed by journalists and photographers. Steven is increasingly worried about the pressure of the press on his wife and is very annoyed; to this, of course, is added his fear for a possible new mental collapse of his wife, unable to withstand such strong pressure. To divert attention away from Ashley, Victor decides to make an instinctive gesture, that is, propose to Leanna to marry him. The woman, who in the meantime had the opportunity to get to know and appreciate Victor better, and is about to finish the biography commissioned by the same man, accepts enthusiastically, wondering why he shouldn't do it since Jack, having got what he wanted from her, dumped her without thinking twice. Leanna and Victor, strongly attracted to each other, fly to Las Vegas where they let go themselves, to the unbridled lure of money and... to their mutual love. Before saying yes, however, Leanna warns Victor that she is a virgin and has no intention of changing that. The man, who thus realizes that Leanna has a strong repulsion from birth towards men, to whom she feels attracted but at the same time feels a deep hatred towards them, nevertheless remains firm in his intention to marry the woman. Victor in fact, having only Ashley's well-being and happiness in mind, pronounces his vows without any second thoughts, making his union with the woman official.
