The Bachelor's runner-up will reportedly give Ben Higgins a piece of her mind before leaving.

Higgins told both Lauren Bushnell and Joelle "JoJo" Fletcher he loved them during his round of overnight Fantasy Suite dates in Jamaica this season. During The Bachelor's 20th season finale broadcast on March 14, both women will receive a final one-on-one date with Higgins and also meet his parents Amy Higgins and David Higgins.

Before the Final Rose Ceremony -- which filmed in November -- Higgins will talk to the runner-up in her suite at the Sandals Royal Plantation in Ochos Rios, Us Weekly reported in its March 21 issue.

Higgins "told her his feelings for her were deeper than anything he's ever felt," said an insider. "He raved about their passion and called her his best friend."

Those declarations reportedly left the runner-up "confident she would be Ben's final choice," a show source told Us.

Higgins confessed to the woman that he had also confessed his love to the other finalist, which made her break down into tears "confused" and "blindsided."

Higgins was absolutely torn between his Final 2 at the end of his journey. He previously told the magazine that Fletcher "always allowed things to be fun and exciting," but Bushnell "was supportive and sensitive."

"You're proposing to somebody on the same day that you break up with somebody that you love -- that's tough," Higgins said at The Women Tell All taping. "The situation got really hard at the end and confusing at times, but ultimately, I knew that she was the right woman for me."

Many sleepless nights, prayer and a consultation with The Bachelor host Chris Harrison finally led Higgins to a resolution the morning of the finale. While picking out the Neil Lane engagement ring worth $100,000, Higgins reportedly got "extremely emotional," said a third source, and "almost had a breakdown."

Hours later, Higgins stood under a palm tree ready to hurt one woman and make the other's dream come true. When the runner-up approached Higgins, her face was beaming but quickly turned cloudy, according to Us.

"Ben basically said to her, 'I do love you. I mean that. There's just somebody else,'" explained the insider.

The jilted woman was "devastated" and reportedly "chastised" him for professing his love to her when another bachelorette had stolen his heart. Once the runner-up got inside a limo after her rejection, she was feeling a variety of emotions -- bitterness being one of them.

"But her feelings of anger were mixed with still caring for him and seeing him so upset," the show source said.

After reportedly taking a few hours to collect himself and gather his thoughts, Higgins eventually got down on one knee and proposed to the season's winner.

"I know I have found true love, and any obstacles are between us," Higgins told Us.

A source close to the winner teased, "They're together right now. It could lead to marriage, but this may have been too much for them to overcome."
