1992 (#13) - Victoria's determination, Ryan's uncertainty and Nina's temptations

Throughout Nikki's convalescence, Victor spends a lot of time with his ex-wife, which rekindles Victoria's hopes of finally seeing her parents together again. Victoria herself proposes to her father to make a pact to stay away from Ryan in case he comes back with his mother. However, once again the young girl's expectations are not confirmed, as Victor is forced to admit to his daughter that, in spite of everything, Nikki is married to Jack and he to Ashley; two marriages, these, that everyone intends to respect. Victoria had seen Victor's vigil at Nikki's bedside as a sign that they would remarry, but this is not the case. Disappointed and bitter, the girl, in a show of defiance towards her father, announces against her parents' wishes that she would resume dating Ryan, who in the meantime has completely forgotten the girl to be with Nina, with whom he lives happily and, above all, without any inhibitions. When Victoria asks Ryan for a date, Ryan, who in his heart still feels something for the girl, accepts to meet her without mentioning anything about the fact that he is seeing Nina. Victoria is very sincere in asking for forgiveness for having ended things with him and, above all, in asking for a second chance. Ryan seems puzzled, but when Victoria promises her that they can get married as soon as she turns 18, thus becoming the heir to Newman Enterprises, Ryan changes his attitude. And so, very soon, Ryan finds himself in the middle of a very complicated situation in which he finds himself simultaneously with two women he loves both and towards whom he cannot make a choice. On the one hand there is in fact the young and beautiful Victoria, his first true love, who by marrying would make him inherit an industrial empire; on the other hand there is Nina, who unlike the first one satisfies him sexually, Victoria being still a virgin and not wanting to have her first relationship outside of marriage. Just when Ryan clearly begins to see the advantages of engaging with Victoria and makes the decision to break off his relationship with Nina, she shows up at Ryan's with a new red convertible head purchased as a graduation gift for Ryan. Ryan is completely enraptured and realizes that Nina is a Chancellor after all and that she is also a good choice financially. Deciding to postpone his decision yet again, Ryan accepts Nina's invitation to go celebrate, and the two spend the entire evening together. Victoria, meanwhile, enters Ryan's house determined to surprise Ryan, just as he returns from the evening with Nina. Victoria, hiding in a closet, is forced to witness the end of Ryan and Nina's evening as they make love under the very eyes of a desperate Victoria. Slipped away, Victoria can't believe that Ryan is also dating Nina. However, the woman doesn't lose heart and promises herself to make Ryan hers.
