you missed work today. and you hadn't even touched your books to study.
your mother was going to visit you again, just as she said she would.
but when she arrived, you right away noticed her hostile demeanor and chose not to further irritate her. or at least, you'd try not to.
"have you made your decision?" was the first thing she asked you, her tone remained strict.
you already made up your mind the moment she made that offer to you in the first place. a big fat no.
however, would she comply to your decision so easily?
"i don't accept, i'm sorry."
your mother pinched the bridge of her nose, she had already anticipated your response but was still disappointed.
"and can you give me a reason why?"
"i simply don't want to marry someone who i'm not interested in."
"and why aren't you interested?"
you hesitated to give an answer. it was so clear what you wanted to say yet so difficult.
and you were aware of what her response would be if you were to mention having feelings for childe.
"well? why won't you say anything?"
you sighed while crossing your arms. "i don't know. i just don't want to marry him."
your mother wasn't pleased, she gave you a hard stare which you avoided to look back at.
a brief moment of bitter silence went by before she spoke again.
"you will marry him."
you shot her a puzzled look, while quirking up a brow. "what do you mean?"
"for the benefit of our company, you will marry that boy."
"you can't force m-"
"you will marry him, y/n. unless you give me an actual reason, i won't allow you to continue living alone and let our company turn down such an offer."
she had said many things in your life that had left you absolutely speechless, but this was definitely by far the worst.
you could have never imagined that she'd force you to marry someone. especially while knowing that you weren't the type of person to disobey her so strictly.
