Y/N's POV

"So you have two choices. You can sign. Your family will be fine. Or you can refuse and your Dad has no job and there is....ah.....a family tragedy."

"There is no job, is there?" She said quietly, eyes fixed on the floor.

"No."

"It was just a ploy."

"Yes."

"Why me." She knew she should scream or cry or do something, instead of sounding so flat. But she felt like every emotion she had had been turned off. There was just cold reality and logic, trying to wrap its head around the whole situation.

"Because you are smart. You speak English. And you love your family." The smallest of tremors in her heart....she couldn't cry in front of him.

She had no choice.

She had to protect her family.
