She accidentally killed her father while defending herself against his advances and accidentally killed a childhood friend.
Victor, despite his immense wealth, had humble beginnings.
He built everything he owned through his cruel wit and had also been previously married before meeting Nikki.

The moment Victor and Nikki met, love blossomed at first sight.
Captivated by Nikki’s beauty, Victor aimed to rescue her from her difficult life.
However, he hesitated to get involved with her due to their significant age difference.

Despite the age gap, Nikki was undeterred and pursued Victor relentlessly, determined to make him hers.
Eventually, he succumbed to her charms, leading to a sexual encounter.
He even started seeing another woman to distance himself from Nikki and break up their budding relationship.

Nevertheless, Victor consistently rescued Nikki from unsafe situations, showing his care and concern.
Unfortunately, their happiness was cut short when Nikki was kidnapped by her vengeful ex.
Feeling insecure and devastated, he called off the wedding.

Shortly after the divorce, Nikki fell seriously ill, which brought Victor back to her side.
Seizing this opportunity to keep Victor, Nikki pretended to be unwell even after her recovery.
However, Victor eventually discovered the truth, leading to the finalization of their divorce just four years later.

But Victor and Nikki were far from finished.
Despite their separation, they continued to be involved romantically, and soon, Nicholas Newman was born.
He assured Diane they would reconcile once Nikki passed away.

Miraculously, Nikki survived, but their initial wedding was invalid.
Victor disregarded his promise to Diane and proposed to Nikki again, this time to make their marriage legitimate.
The final straw was when Victor discovered Nikki’s investment in Jabot.
In response to the heated situation, Nikki cheated and decided to let go of Victor for good.
Their wedding took place in 2002, at the exact location of their first one.
However, history would repeat itself, and their happiness wouldn’t endure.
Nick married Sharon despite his mother’s disapproval and was determined to make it work.
This betrayal deeply hurt Nick, and Nikki was equally incensed at her husband’s involvement with Sharon.
Nikki was disheartened, especially since she had never approved of Sharon, and Victor’s actions lacked remorse.
Victor realized that he had to lose everything to recognize Nikki’s true importance.
Victor gave Nikki a beautiful ring to make things official amidst hearty congratulations from their families.
They prepared for their wedding, but Nikki hid a secret burden she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
She didn’t want Victor to call off the wedding or treat her any differently.
However, Jack revealed the truth, and Victor, tearfully, promised to stand by her side.
The family rejoiced at this news, but Nikki’s fainting spell during dinner caused concern.
As of 2023, the couple has reached a remarkable milestone of a decade together in Genoa City.
