Vivian and Sebastian both sleep until late afternoon. However, Nicole wakes up earlier, she has to go meet Raymond today. She dresses up all lavishly, looking extra decked up and sensual.
She exits the house in the afternoon. Raymond has booked a room in another hotel- none of his. He chooses a distant hotel making sure no one recognises him. Additionally, he organises a car to bring Nicole to the room.
After a long ride, she finally reaches outside the hotel. The driver lends her a hand as she steps out of the expensive car and is mesmerised by the view ahead.
The hotel looks elegant and massive with many floors. It's mostly manufactured with glass and marble. She has never been to such an extravagant hotel; she finds herself quite fortunate.
She enters in through the double doors and finds her way through the lift, into the floor where Raymond is eagerly awaiting. She walks out of the lift and stops by the door number 269. She feels her heartbeat thump violently and her breathing quickens. She seems anxious, but why?
She slowly lifts her hand and knocks twice on the door. A few seconds later, the door opens to reveal a tall, heavily scented man in a suit. He graces her in and slams the door shut.
Back at Vivian's house, both best friends decided to wake up late and relax at home. Then later, get dressed for dinner.
At the Marshalls house, Isabella is thrilled to see Sebastian. She is spending all day getting ready to ensure Sebastian's jaw drops as he enters the house. 'Are you excited to see Vivian?' Isabella asks Jackson, again.
Jackson rolls his eyes and spins away from his sister. He realises that anything he says will be revealed at dinner and he wants to avoid further embarrassment. His parents would probably humiliate him tonight.
After a prolonged, dreary day, everyone decides to dress up. Vivian dresses up comfortably yet stylishly as she has to maintain the richness. Sebastian is ecstatic to see his girlfriend; thus, he dresses up very attractively, ensuring Isabella refuses to remove her eyes off of him.
On the other hand, Jackson wants to dress up sharply to sway Vivian, but he falters. He still dresses in a suit with extra fragrance.
Both best friends decide to leave their house and head to dinner once they receive a call from the Marshalls. Sebastian drives their lavish car straight to the destination.
They reach the mansion but wait and prepare themselves for a challenging dinner. 'Are you going to be okay?' Sebastian asks. He understands that she will be very anxious, hence, one wrong word and she will lose it.
'No, but this is important so I will be,' she nods repeatedly.
'Will he recognise you?' Sebastian creases his eyebrow.
'I doubt he even remembers me, or my parents for that matter,' Vivian woefully speaks.
Sebastian places his hand on top of her and squeezes it faintly, 'I'm with you, Vee, you've got this.'
Vivian hates the fact that Sebastian thinks she requires dependency. However, she doubts that, perhaps, Isabella might become a hindrance and make Sebastian alter his promises.
'Let's go,' Vivian ignores him and proceeds to step out of the vehicle. He follows behind her and they walk towards the mansion. They confront the guards who open the big doors.
They walk in and are welcomed by the Marshall family. Julia treads with an invisible crown on her head. Her sophistication is on full display. Beside stood her pride and joy, Jackson and Isabella. Then, Raymond enters the frame taking all the spotlight. Vivian feels her anger rise seeing them, he took away her family and is rejoicing about his.
