1994 (#10) - The misunderstandings with Cole and Victoria's poses on Esprit de Corps

Despite what Cole and Victoria might imagine, their second marriage is not without its obstacles and difficulties from the start. Confirming Victor's thesis that Victoria was in too much of a hurry to reunite with Cole is Victoria's surprise to learn that as soon as their marriage was annulled, her mother Nikki tried again to resume a relationship with her husband Cole. Victoria knows very well that Cole did not accept the advances, and in fact had decided to leave town, but she is still disappointed with the man, and obviously with her mother, for having kept the matter from her. Victoria thus confides to her husband that she can no longer trust either her parents or, unlike what she thought, her husband. Cole's attempts to explain are useless, and in the end, frustrated, he patiently decides to wait for Victoria to cool off. In the meantime, Victoria, who probably suffers from an inferiority complex compared to her beautiful mother, decides to do something crazy and show everyone that she is also capable of being sly. So she decides to pose nude for a scandalous magazine, the "Esprit de Corps", which decides to devote the entire centerfold. Victor, alerted by Cole to whom Victoria immediately confesses her decision, immediately understands that his daughter has done a foolish thing and tries in every way to stop the publication of the magazine, even coming to the acquisition of the publishing company, the "Two Hearts Publications". In spite of all his efforts, however, the magazine is now in print and the issue containing Victoria's photos, who appears satisfied with the final result, ends up creating a huge scandal that certainly doesn't please Cole; the newlyweds are already beginning to be very distant.
