1988 (#27) - Nikki's regrets, loneliness and commitment to forget Victor

The sudden and unexpected marriage between Victor and Leanna was a nasty blow for Nikki. The woman, who has never stopped loving Victor and has always hoped for their enlightenment, can only suffer for this event, which in fact forces her to put her marriage behind her and accept her divorce from Victor once and for all. However, as soon as she learns of her marriage in Las Vegas, she cannot think of a future for her without Victor, and experiences a period of great and profound sadness and depression. Having never accepted the end of her marriage, Nikki blames herself for letting slip the only person who can make her happy, bitterly regretting not having told the man she is expecting a child from him. And now, that it is too late, Nikki is forced to suppress even that little glimmer of hope that still remains in her heart. The only remedy for the woman to overcome this difficult period, besides Katherine's closeness and friendship, is then to concentrate on her work and, above all, on the baby she is carrying, which Nikki hopes she will be able to taste the joy of having a father. The woman thus hypothesizes the possibility of looking for a man with whom to form a family with whom to raise Victoria and the unborn child; and although she soon realizes that no one can ever replace Victor, she is convinced to commit herself to forgetting him and turning over a new leaf forever.
