Adeyemi sat in the middle of Ryan's living room hugging her legs to her chest. This place was so cold, even in the Dubai heat. Adeyemi bit her lip. Staying here would drive her crazy but going back to her apartment...No, she couldn't do it. She had to let Jaejeong go. She scrolled through numbers in her phone before landing on his. She quickly pressed call before she could hesitate.

"Yemi, where are you?" He asked sounding worried

"Out. Listen, we need to talk." She said seriously

"About what?" He asked " Where should we meet up?"

"Let's meet at Kite Beach." She said ignoring his first question

"I'll be there soon."

Adeyemi quickly left the house and got into her car. She sped off, hoping she got there before him.However She spotted him as she parked her car. He stood tall looking out at the sun set. It would have been beautiful if she didn't have plans on breaking things off with him. She got out of the car and walked over to him.

"Hey there." she said standing beside him

Jaejeong smirked "Ellin seemed worried about you, but you look fine."

Adeyemi nodded "I am." She agreed.

Quickly, he engulfed her in his arms holding her softly against him. Adeyemi felt so warm, she felt his love for her radiating off of her. She didn't know what came over her but she started bawling, Jaejeong lightly rubbed her back, letting her cry it all out.

"I w-want to tell you. I want to so badly but I can't." She cried.

"What happened Yemi? Was it your conversation with Ellin?"

"I'm so sorry, we have to stop this- us- what we are doing. I- I can't do it. You'll be hurt in the end. I'll be hurt in the end. We need to stop." She said as her tears fell.

Jaejeong looked down at her "H-hold up babe, what brought all this on? We were fine, we can just keep doing fine." He said "I'm not going anywhere. I know I questioned you a lot earlier I'm sorry about that, it's because I was worried."

Adeyemi bit her lip trying to fight a sob from escaping. She couldn't speak. She held on to him tighter though she said that she needed to let him go.

" Whatever it is, you can tell me. You can trust me."  He said softly encouraging her.

Adeyemi looked up at him meeting his gaze. He looked serious yet comforting.If she told him the truth he'd be more worried about her. If she didn't it'll eat him alive. She shouldn't tell him. She mustn't tell him. But she wanted to. Still telling him everything, wouldn't solve any of her problems. It would help him understand her a bit more though.

 Adeyemi bit her lip. This was terrifying. "Let's go back to the building.I- I'm risking my life to tell you everything. If you act like you know anything or try to  make any moves against what I'm doing, one day I'll disappear and it won't be of my own accord." she said her voice was low, this was for his ears only.

" Okay, I- I promise not to tell anyone, I won't even think about it long." He said softly. Adeyemi nodded and began walking back to her car. She didn't wait for Jaejeong to get into his before driving off.

Jaejeong let out a big sigh and got back into his car. Right then his phone rang and he answered the phone through his car.

"What are you doing?" Ellins' voice held a tinge of concern.

"I'm on my way back to the apartment. I just met up with Adeyemi." He sighed as he drove away from the beach. "She was really shaking up. I-I think she planned on breaking up with me."

Ellin sighed heavily from her end of the phone. "She doesn't want you to try and save her, she doesn't want you involved in whatever trouble she is in. I also think she is a bit suicidal." 

Jae nodded "I- I see. She said she was going to tell me everything, but I can't tell you what is going on Ellin. I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone what I know. She said she was putting her life on the line." He spoke as he drove.

"That's surprising.........hey, aaaahhh, whatever she says don't let her go. Whoever has control over her beat the shit out of her okay? She's got bruises on her body and choke marks around her neck. She is gonna need your help or they might kill her next time." Ellin said honestly, she was being nice and caring which doesn't happen all the time.

Jaejeong frowned " What do you mean she was beaten?"

Ellin groaned he was gonna be pissed. "I know what it feels and looks like to be beaten and someone beat the shit out of her. Whatever she couldn't cover with clothes she covered with makeup."

Jae's grip on the steering wheel tightened " She- Why didn't she say- Oh my fucking God." He was beyond being pissed. He wasn't mad at Adeyemi but at the person who dared to mistreat her.

"Chill the fuck out you go if there mad she is going to be scared of you. Don't be a kickass, be the caring and kind lover I know you are. That's what she needs." Ellin said calmly.

Jae let out a long breath through his nose. "I know, I know. She'll explain everything to me in time. I'm sorry I can't explain anything to you though." He said sounding calmer after a few deep breaths.

"It's fine I just don't want to see her body on the news okay?" 

"I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen." He said as he pulled into the parking lot garage and got out the car.After Jae and Ellin hung up he got into the elevator and went to his floor. There Adeyemi was waiting for him. She had changed her clothes and wore a fluffy robe. She looked tired already.

She gave him a small smile. "It's quite the story. I wanted to be comfortable."

Jae chuckled softly and opened the door letting her in first. He followed in after her. Adeyemi went straight to the couch and sat down. She curled her feet up. She waited for him to sit down. Jaejeong studied her a little bit, he tried not to search for marks like Ellin said and simply gave Adeyemi a smile.

"Go ahead babe I'm listening." He said relaxed.

Adeyemi looked at him "Are you sure you don't want to sit down?" She asked

He nodded and sat across from her. "Sorry I'm just a little anxious is all." Jaejeong smiled weakly, but went to hold her hand.

Adeyemi took a deep breath "Yeah, me too." She cleared her throat. "I-I don't know where to begin." She said nervously

"Wherever you feel comfortable most I just want to know what has you bawling so hard. You can tell me anything." Jaejeong moved to sit next to her.

Adeyemi studied him quietly as she thought of where to begin. Would she spill everything or just tell him enough so he wouldn't question her anymore? She bit her bottom lip, she was the one in control of telling the story. She could start and end where she wanted. Feeling a bit more confident she cleared her throat and began.

Adeyemi bit her lip. "It's not a sex slave ring."

Jae listened and nodded. "So what is it?"

Adeyemi breathed deeply. "There is someone in control and my job is to make sure important contracts, treaties and the like are signed in a nonviolent manner. Before me things were quite hectic and everyone got tense when rulers from other countries had to meet when it came to global agreements. I relieve those tensions while also gaining favors."

"Okay.......and this is why you sleep with so many guys?" Jaejeong said remembering calming breathing techniques.

Adeyemi nodded. "Yes. The controller, realized a long time ago how... how to say....profitable? I was. It was a deal that just spiraled out of control. Soon I realized just how the world really runs. I get laws passed and treaties signed. I'm the one who changes the minds of men and women within five minutes.."

Jae bit his lip but was still calm and simply listened. He squeezed her hand in reassurance.

Adeyemis' eyes welled up. "I never wanted to be like this. Now, how to best sexually please, seduce and manipulate someone is always at the forefront of my mind. I can't help it, it's who I am."

Jae hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Things can change....things can always change Yemi." He wanted to just take her and run away together, but even he knew things were never that simple.

"How fantastic life would be if that were true. But if you were right, then I wouldn't be thinking of how I can please you so that the distressed look on your face would fade into one of pleasure and bliss. I'm in pain but still the first thing on my mind is how to sexually please you. I solve my problems through sex." She let out a deep sigh before speaking again.

"I thought I was going to die last week." She said softly "The day I cancelled our date, I had to go see the controller. I- I had caused trouble with what I said to Ryan. Ryan didn't speak to him, Ryan doesn't know about any of this. He just went off on his friends because I said I slept with them. But somehow the controller found out. He wasn't very happy when I walked into the room. Then he left and I thought I had served my punishment but he came back a while ago and he was still upset especially after I told him I haven't spoke to Ryan since. "

Jaejeong felt the rage fill him and he wanted to beat the shit out of Ryan and kill "the controller". 

"Let me see......" He was talking about her body and she knew it.

" I- I don't think you want to see that"

" I do. Let me see." His voice was low.

Adeyemi still had her shades on. She took them off slowly, the collar was up on her robe and she put it down she had taken her make up off so her bruises on her neck could be seen. Jaejeon looked at her with his eyes full of hurt. That should be enough.

"Show me...All of them." He said breathlessly

Adeyemi opened her mouth to protest but the look on his face told her not to.

 She slid out of his hug, stood and opened her robe. She looked down ashamed. She felt so dirty and she didn't want him to see her like this. He almost lost it when he saw the bruises on her body, but Ellin's voice rang in his head. Jaejeong pulled her forward a little bit and started kissing the bruises gently on her stomach, Adeyemi flinched slightly. He looked up and met her eyes since she was looking down.

"Never again......these bruises will never be here again, okay?" Jaejeong continued trailing kisses along her stomach.

Adeyemi placed her hands on his head. "They will though, if he has a bad day, if I make a mistake- they will happen but next time it might be worse. What he did to me, was more terrifying than when he-" She cut herself off. She almost said something she definitely shouldn't.

"When he what?" Jae asked as he stood up.

 Adeyemi covered herself once more tying her robe tightly. "Nothing."

"Adeyemi, answer me please." Jaejeong said forcefully.

Adeyemi didn't look at him she stared at the floor. "Um..when he..hurt me..sexually for the first time. When he took  my innocence." She never told anyone about this. It was a secret between her and her master. No one knew what they did behind closed doors. What he had done- continues to do to her.

Jaejeong hit the wall hard out of anger and started taking deep breaths. Adeyemi jumped at the sight and took a small step back.

 "No more.......no more Adeyemi. We are going to get you out." He said quickly and tilted her chin up. "I'm gonna set you free you understand me?"

Adeyemi looked at him "There's no such thing as setting me free. You can't stop him. He has the backing of over half of the worlds' current leaders. It won't happen. A whole lot of countries will lose their credibility if you try to expose anything. I know my role and I've accepted it. I'm trying to tell you things because I know it worries you. But I can't just stop, even if it kills me."

"There has to be a way we keep you safe and accumulate something to use against him. You threaten those countries they would turn on him in a heartbeat." Jae told her trying to get some hope back in her eyes. "You can't accept a role that is slowly killing you inside."

"I seduced and manipulated them into sleeping with me and signing contracts that didn't always give them major shares. They got sex out of me but I got a legally binding contract for the next hundred years.We can't do anything or I'm going to die on his terms."

Jae cupped her face. "He has to go through me love. We can get rid of your apartment and get you a new place......I'll stay with you as protection. Get a few hidden cameras make copies and you're a free woman." He tucked a loose curl behind her ear.

"I don't meet him in my apartment. No one goes into my apartment. I meet my guests in reserved hotel rooms. Always."

"Then no more hotel rooms, this isn't impossible." Jae pecked her lips lightly. "I will protect you, you call me whenever you need me and I'll be there."

"I know you'll be there for me, but I told you I can't just stop cold turkey. If I don't meet them in the hotels then I can't meet them at all."

"What do you mean stop cold turkey?" Jae asked confused.

"You said no more hotel rooms. I thought you meant that I would be stopping meeting with them"

"You mean sleeping with them, you can't simply stop?"

"If I could just stop and disappear I would have done that a long time ago. I don't have anywhere to run to Jae."

"Yeah you do....to me you run to me. If you wanna leave we can leave, you get an urge there is me. You don't have to keep sleeping with them. Just meet with them get them on camera admitting something and that's it."

Adeyemi bit her lip "I just have to meet with them. But If they make a pass, I don't think I'll be able to refuse them. If they speak with f-the controller, then immediately he will know something is wrong." She said her head down as she thought.

Jae grit his teeth he didn't like this option, but she did have a point. He paused for a moment and heard the "F"in her sentence and went blank faced.

"Yemi........who is your master?" Jae asked quietly.

Adeyemi bit her nails, nervously she didn't want to answer that question. She didn't look at him, she just continued to bit her nails.

"I-is the controller your father? Tell me I'm wrong please." 

Adeyemi was still silent and avoiding eye contact. This was a dangerous question. After a long moment of silence the rage started to overflow in Jaejeong. "Tell me I'm wrong dammit!!!!"

Adeyemi flinched when he screamed "You're wrong." She just wanted him to stop screaming. Her anxiety was increasing due to his yelling, she fought not to shake.

Jae saw her flinched and moved away from her while he calmed down. He paced a bit and started his breathing techniques again. "Adeyemi....are you tell me the truth right now?" He asked softly staring at her.

Adeyemi looked up at him and looked away when their eyes met. "If- if i say no, will you start screaming again?" She asked her voice soft.

"I promise you I will not yell, alright?" He walked over to her slowly so that she wouldn't be scared.

 "I was 11 years old." Her voice as shaky "I was a little girl, what kind of monster- to his own daughter-? She shook her head "He won't leave me be- the things I have done- I've killed my own children before I've even seen their faces. He's turned me into a whore and monster." She sobbed clutching her robe, right over her heart.
