Nikau Parata of Home and Away betrays Bella Nixon in the UK next week after falling for Sienna Blake’s nasty deception.
After Sienna convinces him that Bella has cheated on him with her photography tutor Emmett Ellison, Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) succumbs to temptation.
Nikau has modelling obligations in the city in forthcoming episodes on Channel 5, on the same day as Bella (Courtney Miller) and Emmett (JR Reyne) are having a photography exhibition preview at Salt.
Nikau had promised to arrive in time for the big occasion, but Sienna has other plans and wants him to be late.
Sienna is trying to sabotage Nikau and Bella’s relationship because she is afraid that Nikau’s devotion to Bella will prevent him from going on a crucial three-month work trip to Japan.
Sienna enlists the aid of Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to destroy Nikau and Bella’s happiness in order to complete her objective.
Allegra takes advantage of the situation while attending a photographic show. She grabs Bella’s phone and sends Nikau false texts claiming that the event has been postponed and that he doesn’t need to rush.
Nikau joins Sienna in her opulent apartment in the city, oblivious to the fact that he doesn’t need to be back in Summer Bay.
Back at Salt, Bella is irritated by Nikau’s absence and accepts Emmett’s kind assistance.
Allegra delivers a private photograph of Bella and Emmett cuddling to Sienna, who reveals it to Nikau.
Nikau is certain that Bella has cheated, and after she seduces him, he spends the night with her.
Nikau greatly regrets his actions the next morning, and he feels even worse when he gets home and compares notes with Bella.
Although Nikau did not reveal that he later slept with Sienna, the couple realise they were duped all night as Allegra and Sienna tried to keep them apart. How much longer can he keep this a secret?
