Jaejeong wrapped his arms around her tightly and held her as she cried. He picked her up gently and sat down rocking her and rubbing her back. "No no no, you had no choice. None of this is your fault he preyed on you. You aren't a whore, you were doing what you had to to survive."

"I tried to run away one time." She said sniffling " I was sixteen and two months pregnant. I wanted to have my baby, I didn't care about how my child was conceived, I just wished to carry it full term for once, even if I had to give it away. I just wanted it to be born and to live a happy life." She said her eyes had a far away look in them.

" I wasn't showing just yet. I was already betrothed to Ryan and I was in school in England. But my father had a tight watch on me through the English royals, I just didn't know they were watching me. I had booked a flight. I had money in a secret account I was going to have this baby. I- I was so determined. This one was going to make it, I swore. I forced to have an abortion before. I just wanted my baby to have the chance to breathe in life. H-he met me at the airport. He had lots of cameras and reporters, I had to leave with him or else I'd make a scene and embarrass our country. When we got back to the homeland he beat me personally."

Her tears fell relentlessly.

He didn't take me to a hospital, he didn't bring in the royal physician. He left me in my bathroom crying and vomiting as I miscarried. I don't remember passing out, but I did. I woke up in my bed and when I turned-" She was shaking slightly.

"My father wrote me a note saying that next time I should take care of it myself. My stomach was empty since I had vomited everything up earlier, so I kept dry heaving and crying. I couldn't protect my baby. I can't protect myself. Since then before he could get to me, I've been even more careful. The best condoms the best birth control. I've only ever had to have one abortion since. I regret it, I regret a lot of the things I've done but I had to do it. Until I am married to Ryan keeping the child is never an option I've learned." She said sniffling at the end.

Jaejeong looked at her, the story breaking his heart. She looked at him with a beautifully sad smile.

"I had so many dreams when I was younger, Jae. I had a whole plan. I was going to go to school, meet my prince and fall in love. I was going to get married, have lots of babies and live a comfortable happy life. I'd dream of those things all the time. Now a good night for me is when I don't dream at all. I can't look at myself in the face for too long. I'm always talking myself out of suicide,but I really don't want be alive any longer." She gasped through her sobs. "it's hard for me to be here, but it's hard for me to actually take any steps to kill myself. When he beat me this last time. I didn't care that I was sorry sight. I laid there waiting to die. I was prepared to go Jaejeong- I-I'm still prepared. I don't think you'll ever know what that feels like." She said looking into his face. She looked away after a moment.

"But I can help. We just made a plan. Why won't it work?" He asked.

"I-I'm not telling you all of this because I want to be saved. I'm telling you this because this is what I do. This will be why I'll be absent for days at a time. This will be why in the middle of riding you I'd leave to hop on top of someone else. This will be why one day you might notice you're Uncle, second brother, hell maybe even your father might look at me longer than the appropriate amount of time."

Jaejeong paused "You slept with my father?"

Adeyemi looked at him. "The point is that, I could sleep with someone you may not have wanted me to and it will eat you up inside one day."

Jaejeong blinked, "Like my father." He said in realization.

"Right, or your sister."

"You slept with her too? Might as well sleep with my mom too. Then you'd of had the whole family." He spat, forgetting he was there to comfort her.

"See. You are even more upset. This is going to affect you for as long as this thing between us lasts, and knowing that what I do hurts you will hurt me. It'll be a never ending cycle. We need to stop."

"Why would you even sleep with my sister? She doesn't have treaties or anything to sign off on. right now." He questioned ignoring her statement.

Adeyemi rolled her eyes. "Is that really what's important right now? I'm telling you that this needs to be over. That it is over." She said pointing between them.

"Yeah, sure. We'll end up sleeping together in a day or two." He brushed it off. "Back to my question."

She gave him an incredulous look "Because she is a very beautiful woman and such a pleasure to tease. I didn't know it was going to go that far. But her blush- I just wanted to see how low it went. And she let me."

Jaejeong looked thoroughly appalled. "Oh my God."

Adeyemi sighed "I've probably ruined men for her. Should I pay her a visit?" She asked giving Jaejeong a lazy look.

"No." He said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, I'm sorry are you upset? You wanted to know. This is what happens when you ask questions. You are always asking questions. You won't always like my answer Jae." She said seriously.

Jaejeong looked at her his face serious. "So you want to end it? For real? After everything? You just want to be done with it?"

Adeyemi looked away and stared at the wall "It's the only way for us to not get hurt."

Jaejeong looked upset. "I'm already hurt. You're already hurt. Breaking up is what will hurt us more." He argued "We might as well just stay together."

Adeyemi shook her head. "No." She said softly " It will be a breath of fresh air for us both. Do you hear yourself? You used to have morals! You used to fight against my advances and now all I need to do is look at you and you're ready to take me in a broom closet. I can't do this anymore."

"I made that decision. I chose to be with you and- and-" He tried to reach for her hand again but she moved her hand.

"And go against the morals you set upon yourself in this society that's full of infidelity. You promised to never cheat on the woman you are with. You've gone against that. You promised to never disrespect your relationship, but you've done that. You've just gone against everything, for what? To take care of me? It's a waste. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. I don't want your help." She finished

"I'm not letting you go." He said resolute

"You need to. This isn't working."

"It's been working fine." He argued

"No it hasn't you've just been blinded." She scoffed and stood up. She moved to walk away and Jaejeongs hand shot out and grabbed her hand.

"There's nothing wrong with us. We are fine. We are what's right, everything else is wrong."

She pulled her wrist free. "I've let you go. You have to let me go now. I'dont want to be kept."

Jaejeong looked at her in a stupor. "So it's just over? We're just supposed to end it? I love you and you just want to leave?"

Adeyemi's breath caught " I-I"

"Look at me and tell me you don't love me and I'll let you go." He said standing

Adeyemi turned. They were so close.

"I can't love you." She said looking up at him

"That's not what I told you to say."

"You should really hate me." She said softly "I've ruined your life."

"No you haven't. Tell me you don't love me. That you don't dream of me being inside of you every night. Tell me you don't dream of a world where we can be together in the daytime and marry and have a soccer team of children and be happy." He said looking down at her.

Adeyemi bit her lip. " I- I don't love you." She whispered

He frowned " I don't believe it. You have to sound more convincing."

Adeyemi looked away from his piercing gaze and then looked back locking eyes, only now hers were like ice. "I don't love you. I still love Ryan. I'm going back to him. Even though he doesn't love me I will always love him. At least I won't have to be a secret with him. I can't have a soccer team with you. I'm not going to put my children through that. I'm going to try to live as peacefully as I can as Ryans wife, starting in three weeks." She said.

Jaejeong looked at her confused " In three weeks?"

Adeyemi pulled something out of her robe pocket. It was a beautiful card with the words "You're Invited" on the front.

She placed the item in his hand. "We wanted to do something old fashion and sent the invitations out through mail. I wanted to give you yours in person."

He looked down to open the card and saw a heart-shaped photo of Ryan with the love of his life. Below was the formal wedding information.

Jaejeong clenched his jaw. His eyes narrowed. " I believe you can see your way out." He said slowly.

With that she was gone. Just as simply as she had walked into his life, she walked out. Jaejeong looked at her retreating back in disbelief, not even once did she look back, there was no falter in her step either.
