Part 3/5:
Artem and Nikki had tied the knot in 2022 after four years of dating. However, less than a month after his arrest, Nikki filed for divorce. The dissolution of their marriage, which Artem insists he never wanted, was extremely painful for him. He reflects on the love he still harbors for Nikki, acknowledging, "Like people keep forgetting something: that I didn't stop loving that person that day." Despite his desire to resolve their issues through therapy or other means, the divorce went through, leading him to a place of emotional turmoil.
