Time goes by, and Asha has a plan to create sex robots of herself and Jeremiah to replace them in their position of being sex slaves and giving them the opportunity to escape. That plan gets intercepted when Yasmin becomes jealous of how much time Jeremiah is spending with Asha, but Jeremiah spins it as a business opportunity for Yasmin to be more independent from Papa. Yasmin accepts this opportunity in hopes that Papa will be proud of her for building something of her own. However, Papa figures out who the mastermind behind the robots is and gives Asha praise for her genius. This makes Yasmin even more jealous of Asha.

She takes it upon herself to get the job done and breaks into Asha’s room to kill her, but once she has Asha where she wants her, Asha alerts her of Papa making his own moves to get rid of Jeremiah. Yasmin’s feelings for Jeremiah causes her to put a hold on killing Asha and they both rush to save Jeremiah. At this point it’s every man for himself.

Over a course of time, Asha’s hatred for Papa turns into an understanding of him, which then turns into romantic feelings for him. Now she must decide who she wants to be with, Papa or Jeremiah. Yasmin is beyond livid as she sees Asha living the life that she wants. Having to watch the men she loves fight for Asha’s affection sets Yasmin off, but now it’s harder for her to make another attempt at taking Asha’s life while she’s under Papa’s and Jeremiah’s watchful eyes. After a long wait, Yasmin’s dream finally comes true when Asha gets shot in the back with a single poisonous bullet. While everyone is mourning Asha’s death, besides Yasmin, Abayomi happily sits in his home in Meteora, Greece awaiting his reward from his latest mission.
