1989 (#20) - Victor's contrasting feelings and Jim and Nikki's dating

Having obtained a divorce from Leanna and taking revenge on Jack with the conquest of Jabot, Victor is a man strongly satisfied and satisfied in the professional sphere, but alone and hurt in the sentimental one. The only joy in his private life is the birth of Nicholas, his first son, which makes him proud. But although Nikki is looking forward to reuniting with Victor, he seems doubtful given his recent experience of marriage with the woman, with whom he does not want to go back to being a de facto separated husband at home as he was for a long time before the divorce. The reality, of course, is that Victor's feelings for Ashley have never waned, despite the fact that their lives have now taken different paths and the two have drifted apart. To all this, of course, it must be added that a possible reunion between Victor and Nikki is strongly opposed by Jack, who wants to hinder Victor's life in search of revenge after his Jabot was stolen. Jack tries to get Nikki away from Victor in any way he can, and thus elaborates a plan to bring Jim Grainger and Nikki together, hoping that the spark will strike between them. Jim, in fact, became very close friends with Jack, when he informs the man that he doesn't want to meddle in the marriage between John and Jessica but that he is looking for his soul mate, he finds in Jack a very interested interlocutor. Not much time passes that Jack organizes a first meeting between Jim and Nikki, who immediately seem to be at ease. After all, Nikki, who still has the goal of getting back with Victor, is happy to make her ex-husband jealous by agreeing to see Jim, whose company she appreciates anyway..
