1994 (#6) - The exhumation of Eve's body, the wedding between Victoria and Cole

Determined to know the truth about Cole's paternity, Victor, in agreement with Dr. Cohen and Douglas, decides to exhume Eve's body and inform Cole himself of the test to establish the truth once and for all. Upon examination of the DNA test, the comparison between Victor's sample and Cole's establishes, to everyone's amazement, that Victor is certainly not Cole's father; but, incredibly, neither is Marvin. In any case, the discovery that Cole and Victoria are not related creates discordant feelings between the two young people. On the one hand, there is the joy and happiness of being free to be together again; on the other hand, there are the difficulties of resuming a relationship after having said goodbye and having already started planning a new life without their respective partners. A few weeks passed during which Cole and Victoria were undecided about what to do and simply tried to get back together, until the spark that had led them to fall in love broke out again. Cole and Victoria decide to remarry and finally begin their life together. Victoria's happiness, however, is tempered by her critical relationship with her father; the girl, in fact, reproaches Victor for having ruined their marriage by revealing an untrue fact without even checking it out. Unable to forgive Victor, Victoria decides not to invite him to the wedding in spite of everyone, Nikki above all, trying to reason with her. Bitterly, Victor is therefore forced to follow his daughter's wedding on the sidelines and away from prying eyes from the back of the chapel. At the end of the ceremony, a piece of news upsets Victor; it's Paul, who reveals to the man on the phone that Cole's DNA is compatible with that of a criminal in the police database, namely Rick Daros. In fact, it turns out that Rick Daros, even before he escaped from the psychiatric institute with Eve, knew each other and evidently had a flirtation. Victor, thus, can finally reveal to Cole the identity of his father and, in time, he is also able to make peace with his daughter Victoria and re-establish a strong and unbreakable bond with her.
