Marriage.

Nayeon felt like she was going to throw up the longer she thought about her grandfather's ridiculous deal. There was no way in hell she was going to go through with it. Death was the far easier option. She'd stewed on it all night, barely getting any sleep and had paid the price for it as she trudged through the day. Thank god for Jihyo. The woman had supplied her with fresh cups of coffee around the clock while she worked through her endless piles of paperwork in between the usual meetings.

"Reject the proposals. And tell grandfather if I decide to accept his deal, I'll be the one choosing my partner, not him," Nayeon said with barely controlled anger.

"Of course Miss Im. I'll let him know your decision."

Nayeon didn't bother to end the call properly, she slammed the phone down onto the receiver and let out a string of curse words that would make her mother frown in disapproval.
