Adeyemi kissed her fiance's cheek before she stepped out of his luxury brand car. He followed behind her his arm wrapping around her waist hugging her to him. It was a new school year and she was feeling refreshed. She looked forward, not paying him or anyone around them much attention as they began their trek. His skin was sun kissed and his face was absolutely charming. His eyes were the purest shade of blue,and his sandy blond hair complimented him well. If there ever was a universal look for prince charming he would be it. He wore a classic outfit of skinny jeans, oxfords, and a navy blue and white plaid linen shirt. Adeyemi usually dressed to compliment him. Her skin was honey colored and held a healthy glow. Her hair was in a half up bun and the bottom let all of her kinky curls loose. She wore a simple navy dress made of the same material and with white crochet accents. She had a pair of nude oxford heels to match. Her engagement ring shone brightly under the sun.

"Let's meet for lunch babe." He said between his greetings to people as they walked across the quad. Adeyemi smiled as another prince walked over and greeted her partner.

"You have a meeting with the university president for lunch. I will see you tonight should you have time." She said right as the prince left. Her accent was more English but definitely had some Yoruba undertones. They reached their destination and were walking in the outer corridor.Her fiance, Ryan scratched the back of his head. 

"I'm actually going to hang out with some of the guys tonight." He said sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

She gave him an innocent smile. "Have fun with that." He made to reply but she simply kissed his cheek and spun and walked down the hall in the opposite direction.Ryan watched her form retreat until she turned the corner a small smile on his face and chuckled before turning and continuing his walk, he too had a class to attend.When Adeyemi turned the corner she let out a huge breath. It took everything in her not to beat the crap out of him just then. Going out with the boys? Yeah right. She wasn’t as naive as she used to be about his endeavors. He was going to be out with the boys until he found a woman to sink himself into. He was cheating on her, and not for business or the greater good. She could accept it if it were for the benefit of either of their countries but it was purely for his pleasure. Bastard. Still she had to endure it.

She knew about every woman he ever brought back to his home. The first time she found out, it had been an accident, she thought some royalty obsessed stalker must have broken in and left her lingerie, so blatantly on his bed. Just someone delusional and seemed to think Ryan belonged to them. So she went through the security footage to catch the intruder, instead she found that her fiance had let the woman into his home into his bed and then when they were through he sent her off while he got in the shower. The girl she recognized from a nightclub she'd been to before. Two days later she went to see if he erased the tapes but he hadn't, he didn't even have the decency to try to cover his tracks. It's been three years since then and he never stopped. Mulling over her thoughts she walked proudly to her class. If this were a movie or a show she would be yelling at the heroine for staying with such a man but she had to stay. It was a marriage that would keep two nations bonded for an extremely long time. She had also fallen for him. Since she was young she was conditioned to believe that he was the one for her. She was no longer sure of her feelings toward him, still, they had to marry. It was their duty. Even if she brought it up that doesn't mean he'd stop. He'd probably just become more discreet.  To everyone else she was just one of his women, the only difference was that she was stuck to him.The classroom was empty thankfully and since it was the first day of classes it was first come first serve when it came to battle of the seats. She quickly sat down in her preferred seat and pulled out her notebook along with a pen. The rest of the class began filling in soon after her. The professor walked in, she was a short Asian woman about Adeyemi's height of five foot three and she wore light business attire. She smiled pleasantly to the class.

"Welcome to crisis negotiation I am Professor Do. Today-"

She was cut off with the entrance of a tall young Asian man. His eyes were sharp but his jaw was sharper, his face looked like it was crafted by the most skilled of sculptors. His hair was cut low on the sides but the top was quite long and had soft waves. His eyes were a very light brown, nearly caramel colored. He wore a pair of grey skinny pants, a crisp white shirt that resembled his country's traditional wear and penny loafers. He gave the professor a slight bow to which she returned a deeper one.

“Tardiness is unbecoming, Crown Prince, or no. Take a seat, Jaejeong Seja.” She said giving him a pointed look after she raised from her bow. He quickly dived into the seat beside Adeyemi. He gave her a bright smile. She gave him a curt nod. Professor Do looked at the young man with pursed lips.

"Prince Jaejeong, you are told that somehow your younger sister has been taken hostage and is being sold on the deep dark net how do you get her back?"

For a moment he sat there stunned before speaking.

"Um, can't we just hack DDN? Is it really unable to be infiltrated? I mean getting into the black market used to be difficult now my five year old cousins can do it from their phones. Couldn't we just do that get some names and then negotiate? " He asked looking up at the professor.

Adeyemi tilted her head in thought. That was one way of doing things and Professor Do nodded her head in thought. It was an alright plan but perhaps there was a better strategy?

Adeyemi cleared her throat. "Or we could go a different route. We first enter in on the bid, while in the meantime try to track the location. Speak to our allies have them join in, that way if we lose out on the bid, an ally is sure to have been the one to get your sister. Your country has made many allies so it would be relatively easy to take over and outbid any organization or group. Then when it's time for the exchange, boom we kill the kidnappers and bring your sister and the money back where they belong." She said leaning back in her chair.

Professor Do nodded once more appreciating the answer " In a situation like this you can only give the pretense of negotiation. You can't let them escape. While I'm not so sure about killing them without asking questions,you can arrest them and hold them in custody and see if they will give up any information first."

Adeyemi nodded in agreement blushing at her bold suggestion. The professor continued talking about how to handle different hostage situations using references from events in history as an example. In that first class Adeyemi learned that a breach of security was usually the cause. Even with advanced technology they could still be taken. Being held hostage was a rarity nowadays but not everyone made the right decisions and it took a lot longer for their child to return home. Adeyemi neatly and quickly took down her notes.All too soon she was done with most of her classes for the day. She had some free time before she had to remind Ryan about his lunch appointment with the school president. Before that, however, she had an appointment of her own. She left the building quickly and hailed a shuttle bus that passed the school apartments as well as several luxury hotels. On the bus she fixed her make-up, it had to be light of course. She wore only waterproof mascara and eyeliner, the lipstick she wore earlier was removed from her lips. Adeyemi gave a devilish smirk to her reflection. She had a lot of influence and her skills of persuasion is what really struck gold for her kingdom- well more gold than what they already had. She got off of the bus at the stop for some random apartments and then hailed a taxi.

"Antounment." She stated and the taxi driver sped off.

Once there she made a beeline to the elevators, she didn’t have much time and needed her plan to work. She got into the elevator and stopped on the top floor. When she entered the suite, she quickly began peeling off her clothing as she made her way to the master bedroom. She looked through the sets of clothing she had in the closet and settled for a short black silk robe. She loved the feeling of pure silk against her naked form. She checked the time and ordered a bottle of wine which was delivered quickly. She met the gaze of her reflection and looked away quickly clearing her throat. She put her phone on do-not-disturb and sat on the edge of the bed and poured the wine into two glasses.Just as she picked up a glass for her to sip from, the main suite door opened. Her guest had arrived.

“Your highness?” She heard him call

She didn’t respond.

“King Jeffrey?” He attempted once more

“I’m here about-” Her guest cut themselves off, no doubt due to seeing her thrown about clothing leading to the bedroom.

He appeared in the doorway a confused look on his face until his eyes landed upon her. She sat there sitting comfortably in the bed and two glasses of red wine in her hands. Slowly she turned to him with a seductive grin.

"Let's talk business, shall we?”

The Royal University of the Nations school President, surely wasn’t expecting this turn of events. The stunning princess simply smiled at him. She stood and he fought his urge to stare longer. He pulled his eyes away but she came closer. He was getting nervous, was this a set up?

“President Wayne? Is something the matter? You look as if something has you shaken. Here is some wine, it will relax your nerves.” She took his hand and placed it on the stem of the wine glass she had meant to sip from earlier.

“Ah- King Jeffrey and I had a meeting.” He mumbled as Adeyemi sat back down at the edge of the bed and took the other wine glass into her hand.

“Ah, do you think King Jeffrey goes to all appointments set in his name? How silly of you Mr.President. Though I am quite hurt you seem to be looking for King Jeffreys’ companionship when I am beside you. Surely I can gain your favor by the end of today's appointment.” She said slyly before taking a small sip of her wine.

“So King Jeffrey sent you to speak to me about what?” President Wanye asked taking a gulp of the wine. Damn he was thirsty.

“An offer you can choose to ignore,” She began before stepping closer to him, “But I don’t think you’d want to.”

Adeyemi set her glass down on the dresser. Her eyes not leaving his.

“After all you may never get such a proposition again. You really shouldn’t refuse the offer being presented to you by royals.” She said in a mock scolding tone.

“What must I do?” He asked falling deeply into her bright hazel eyes.

“Don’t dismiss Crown Prince Ryan from the school. That’s all.” She said as he leaned closer to her.

“Hmm, and I get to have you for an afternoon?” He questioned into her ear softly.

“You consider this a gift instead. Something I added on, for both of our benefits. I will be more than willing to tell you what is being offered after our meeting is adjourned.” She said looking at the handsome older man. He had strong facial features. He may be old enough to be her father but he looked as fit as any healthy 20-something year old male. In short, he was still very fine.

He looked down at her and she bit her lip slowly. His eyes looked down at her lips,slowly he moved in. Her arms wrapped around his neck as one of his hands pressed into the small of her back and the other supported the back of her head.Their tongues twisted and their lips were locked. He lifted her so she sat on the dresser, her legs opened to fit him between her thighs. He pressed himself against her and she fought a smirk. This could definitely be seen as a gift to her as well. Quickly she was able to unbuckle his pants and he untied her robe. He took a moment to admire her. As he should, she wasn’t voted the sexiest princess for the past four years, without reason. The moment was over and then their bodies combined.

"With- this agreement- Gods- Ryan isn't kicked out of the school and a generous- dona-"Her lips were captured by the lips of the university president Charles Wayne, of the Americas. Adeyemi's legs were wrapped around his waist as he held her against the wall of her hotel bedroom. He thought he was meeting the king of the Americas to discuss his son's behavior. He thought he was simply stopping by the king's suite for a glass of brandy and negotiation. Instead he found himself inside the softest piece of flesh he's had in a long time. He wasn't a king, he worked for the King of the Americas many years ago, but he sure did feel like a king now.There was a pregnant pause as they looked at each other in the silence of what happened. The older man was satisfied and yet mildly disgusted by the behavior he had partaken in, the young woman simply looked up at him with mischievous eyes and a seductive smile.

"Have we come to an agreement?" She asked her voice now husky and her tone slightly humorous, but still as sultry as ever.

The president nodded curtly "The boy will stay in school." He said with finality in his voice.

Adeyemi unwrapped her legs from his waist and he let her arms go. She sauntered to the bathroom entrance and turned to him. "You have an appointment with Prince Ryan in about half an hour, surely you won't show up smelling like you just gave his fiancee a proper lay will you?" She turned back around and walked into the grand bathroom, the president followed behind her. She was right after all.

Adeyemi watched President Wayne as he dressed. She knew the man was confused by what happened but he was also weak willed, she looked into his history, which is how she was able to easily trap him. She knew he had thought he was meeting with the King of the Americas but that was never the case. Word of Ryan's poor behavior at school never reached the ear of his father, she made sure of that. If the king knew the problems his son caused at school surely the king would call off their engagement and perhaps have Gary take his place. While of course Gary is the better student, he would make an worse king, awful husband and well he was also the ugly brother. She'd look after her fiance and make sure he was able to graduate. He just had to finish this last year. She would make it happen. 

"Off you go, enjoy your lunch meeting Mr. President." She said as she slid off of the bed. She was dressed in a black lace bra and matching boy shorts, her her silk robe hanging off of her shoulders. She led him out to the front door."Think of this as a very pleasant and unexpected dream." she said softly a smile on her face.

"A very pleasant dream indeed." He sighed before exiting the suite closing the door behind him.
