Victor was intrigued by her and took her home, where under his influence, she was transformed into a classy young lady . Victor is adamant at first that he has no romantic feelings for Nikki, but he soon succumbed to her charms and they had a night of passionate love - making . Victor cast off his night of passion with Nikki as a mistake, and instead took up with a woman named Lorie Brooks, who in truth only wanted to be with Victor to write an expose on him . Victor later admitted that he truly is in love with Nikki, and she eventually gives birth to a daughter, Victoria Newman, and the couple was married in a lavish ceremony two years later . </P> <P> One of the greatest threats to Victor and Nikki's union is arguably Ashley Abbott, as some time later, Victor fell in love with her, who happens to be the sister of his archenemy Jack Abbott . Victor was heartbroken in discovering that Ashley had aborted his baby so that he would stay with a dying Nikki . Nikki later recovered, but intentionally hadn't informed Victor to stay clear of the threat Ashley posed . Yet, they share one final night of passion together, which resulted in the birth of Nicholas Newman . Victor and Nikki ended up divorcing after he lashed out at her for purposely providing information about Ashley's abortion to an unauthorized biographer--Leanna Love . Victor marries her, all while being unaware of her true intentions . The marriage is quickly annulled and Victor pays Leanna a settlement, but she remains a bothersome component in Victor's life on occasion . Victor then married Ashley by 1990, but the marriage ended after three years due to extreme marital problems . Nikki married Jack, which ended after four years when Victor told Jack he would give him Jabot Cosmetics if he divorced Nikki . </P>
