Leah froze hearing her name. She recognizes specifically who said her name.

Okay...just face him. It's alright!

Leah slowly turns to Jungkook as he glances at her with sorrow and fear. She felt terrible. Jungkook means so much to her.

All the ladies turn as well as the boys, who glare at Jungkook. Tae moves closer to him and rubs his shoulders lightly.

Jungkook notices Tae's touch but feels chilliness.

Leah frozen in place waits for his response. She feels anger and hurt emerging for some reason.

Whatever he is about to tell her, she is not prepared for it.

Jungkook catches Leah's countenance and that makes him more uncomfortable. Tae shoulder hugs Jungkook, giving an indication that he can do it.

Jungkook catches on and takes a deep jagged breath.

"Okay. Leah, f-first I need to tell you how I feel. A-Although, you are my best friend. I need to be honest with you."

Leah stays frozen, uncertain what Jungkook is about to say.

Jungkook confesses. "You have been there for me other than my brothers. You made me laugh. You made me happy. Because of your determination, I believed in Jesus on my own. You helped me mentally get through the pain of my family. You even made sacrifices to be there for me when I needed you. Your sons are my pride and joy. They are the missing puzzle piece in my life. Being with them makes me 100 times happier. I am so grateful for you and lately, I realized that I can't let you go. I can't go back to what it was."

Leah went from frozen to tremor. She doesn't even know what to say. She didn't think anyone could want her and her sons in this way.

"L-Leah. I'm in love you. I don't care what you say afterward. I'm not running from us anymore and I'm not going to let you get hurt anymore."

"But I realized something if I truly love you, I would tell you the truth. I am so sorry I never told you. I was so afraid you wouldn't believe me. But you need to know."

Jungkook stares into Leah's eyes. Leah is looking for any deception, manipulation, or lies. Something that says Jungkook is making this up and doesn't mean anything. He's just tired. He's had a long night and decided to pour out his most dire feelings in front of his brothers and her sistas. He doesn't know what he's saying.

But when she looks into his eyes. She sees none of that just sincerity, compassion, desire,

And love.

Taylor begins to scan the room. Everyone looks shocked and happy at the same. Almost like everyone was waiting for it. However, she doesn't see Shara anywhere.

All of sudden, Taylor gets this awful feeling. It's a feeling you can't describe but you know it's a warning of trouble and despair ahead.

Shara, what are you about to do?

Taylor whispers to Esther that she's going to go find Shara. Esther peeks at her and nods then holds Leah. Taylor leaves out determined to locate Shara. Whatever you are about to do, I will not allow it.

Leah senses Esther's hands around her shoulders finally speak. "You love me?....a-and what do you have to tell me?"

"Yes, Leah I'm in love with you. And I love your children. I believe that through God, I can truly love your children and you the way both of you deserve. And I will say it a thousand times so you will believe me." Jungkook smiles a bit then glared down as if he dozed off.

"Babe."

Everyone looks at Leah with widening eyes. Jungkook glimpses at her stunned the most.

Leah smiles. "I didn't think anyone could love me after what Jacob put me through. I thought I was too fat or ugly. I didn't think I could ever be loved in such away. And here you are telling me that you love me and my children. My children truly deserve it." Leah feeling tears coming down, but still in awe of Jungkook.

"But I sincerely believe you. I know you love me and my sons."

Jungkook smiles wide, his bunny smile radiating the room. He gets up, taps Tae's shoulder, then walks close to Leah. The girls, including Esther, who was holding Leah, back away from her. Everyone gets nearer to them, but not too close, giving them space.

Jungkook kneels in front of Leah and settles his hands on her knees softly. He brightens up at her and smirks sadly. "You don't understand how much that means to me, but the next thing you will hear, you aren't going to like."

Leah gets serious and holds his hands. "What is it?"

Jungkook tells her everything. How Jacob was cheating on her with her sister, how he found out that day, and why he held it in for so long.

Leah blankly stares at Jungkook. Everyone else looks at them worried.

"My sister wouldn't do that to me Jungkook."

"Leah believe me on this. I wouldn't lie to you. Just like I told you 'I'm in love with you' and you believed it. Believe this." Jungkook awaits her answer with possibility.

Please believe me, baby.

Leah stares at Jungkook with an indistinct expression. Taking in everything Jungkook told her, she feels her heart shifting at 50 times its normal rate. She was afraid she was going to die at this moment. She shook her head frantically.

How could she do this to me?

My sister can smile in my face and lie to me like that...

She could hurt me like that?

How long has this happened and how did this happen?

Jacob wanted me back just to hurt me again?

He doesn't love me.

I was too ugly.

I was too fat.

He doesn't love me.

Just like a film, this frequently played over her mind. Everything starting to make sense. Rachel leaving at late hours of the night those two days she was at her house. Jacob being at 'work' all the time. Rachel not coming around as much because she's too 'busy'. Was it guilt? Was it embarrassment? Or was it too funny?

Why me?

Jungkook loves this pile of trash. I can't even keep my own husband.

Leah didn't realize she stood up, slowly leaving the room while Jungkook was calling her. She didn't realize she was heading out to the pool area, near the kitchen to call Jacob's brother.

She needs answers fasts.

Before everyone feels the true anger of a mad black woman.

God I need answers.

Jungkook laid his arms and head on the chair Leah was sitting on, breathing hard and letting the tears fall.

"Jungkook. It's going to be okay." Jin softly grabs Jungkook and places his head on his chest. The guys look at Jungkook with gloom.

"We will go find Leah." Esther tells the boys. The boys nod their heads, staying to comfort Jungkook.

"She has every right to feel this way, Kook. It's natural. Let's give her space, pray that she knows the truth." Namjoon sits on the floor near Jungkook.

Jungkook sobbing on Jin's chest, panting. "I can't lose her."

"You won't lose her Kook." Jimin assures.

The ladies immediately began searching to find her.

They found Leah staring at the pool, which is in front of the outside foyer, holding her phone. The ladies can only see her backside. A big known fact is Leah can't swim so the girls caught on quick what she was about to do. A guard holds her back as she tries to get off his grip.

"LEAH! DON'T!" The girls rushed over to her as Esther grabbed Leah from the guard's grip, pulling her away from the pool as possible.

"THEY LIED TO ME!" Leah cried out, pulling away from the girls in a fighting stance.

"Yes. They did. But it's not worth it. Get the truth and face it. God exposed the truth for a reason. Don't let the man that you truly love lose you already." Hannah urges lovingly.

Leah clenches her teeth and kicks the floor.

AAAAAAH.

Leah whiffs and hugs Hannah tight. Hannah hugs her back tightly.

"I know Leah. We want to beat him up too....especially your sister."

"SHE CAN GET THESE HANDS AANNEEEDAY!" Rahab fired up, tells Leah.

Leah chuckles a bit while wiping her tears.

"Can you guys be here with me when I make the call? I can't be alone this time."

"Of course you know we got you." Ruth exclaims. All the girls agree and encourage Leah. Leah lets go of Hannah and puts her phone in front of her.

"Let's finish this."

Shara got passed the guards with no suspicions. It wasn't simple.

Yet, she made it seem like the King had to go over some 'files' for tonight.

Shara was worrying about getting in the vault.

It took her a couple minutes to figure it out. She knows she don't have much time until Taylor discovers she is gone.

But...

Of course, the code to the vault is.....that.

It's so infuriating.

The code

is

Esther's birthday.

Of course.

Shara holds herself together and grabs the box. She opens it to get a tube with blue liquid. She beams evilly.

SORRY, Esther! It's over for you and Jin!

Shara squeezing the tube of blue liquid in her hand. She stares at Jin's office, thinking about a new beginning she will have with him. She decides to give the 'Queen' the drink she knows she will never deny. She starts heading to the kitchen to make Esther's favorite coffee.

Double Chocolate Frappuccino with Chocolate syrup.
