Vallentino comes over to the Harlem mansion as Mr. Harlem is back from his trip.

All of them gather at the lounge and then they have lunch . Mr. Harlem proceeds to talk about the wedding between Selena and Vallentino, Selena acts happy with a crooked smile as they conclude the wedding to happen in a month .

Luscious noticed the blush that creeps up Etoria's cheeks whenever Vallentino speaks to her , he gets angry and jealous as he feels only himself as the right to make her that way , he grows curious as to what relationship Etoria shares with Vallentino, he wonders if there is a love triangle somewhere although this doesn't affect his facade of being calm as Vallentino requests a word with him .

Vallentino and Luscious get their moment together as Vallentino emphasizes on how he needs Luscious to take his job seriously and ensure Selena's safety and if he does well , he will consider recruiting him in his home but Luscious completely declines and backs it up with his unwillingness to leave the Harlem mansion once Selena is married .

Vallentino smirks and proceeds to question his response as being caused by the presence of Etoria in the Harlem mansion and so Luscious snaps , gritting his teeth affirming his question and asking back a why?, Vallentino provocatively leaves Furious Luscious after admitting that Etoria truly is gorgeous in his eyes.

Vallentino notices the tension between Selena, Etoria  and Luscious but dismissed it as Selena is only his and so he says his goodbyes to Selena and leaves .

Luscious steams around the house until he spot Etoria in the laundry room and so he hastily walks in but slows down to ask if he could lend her a hand to which Etoria declines and then he proceeds to throw a jab saying of course she would rather have Vallentino helping her , too bad he's left the mansion, Etoria turns to him with a confused gaze and starts laughing which only adds fuel to his fire of jealousy so he outrightly asks her what he relationship is with Vallentino, she bits back a smile and acts dumb and questions back as to who he is talking about , he grits a warning for her to stop playing with him and just answer if she finds Vallentino attractive and she answers very quickly, yes, but she proceeds with a clarification that nothing is going on between her and Vallentino. Luscious heaves a sigh of relief and mutters a better be before exiting the laundry room leaving a laughing Etoria but the walls have ears .

Selena watches the interaction between Luscious and Etoria in the laundry room and steams in her room as she questions to herself why isn't getting what she wants?, why isn't she happy ?, why does she feel so upset whenever she sees Etoria and Luscious together?, why does no one love her?, she ends up crying herself to sleep.

Neither Selena nor Vallentino know just how far they would go all in the name of love.
