YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME

The first thing you can see upon entering the Lu mansion is the giant painting of a little girl napping under the shade of a majestic maple tree. It was blurry but vivid enough to see the great image. It was placed at the centre of their living room, perfect for anyone who enters to see.

Sandy and her small family were having dinner that night. At first, she thought that it was just another meal, ignoring the fact that their grandfather had joined them. It was months ago since they had a meal with him.

"It's rare for you to join us to dinner, what's the catch?"

They all looked at her, at Sandy. Her brows kissed each other by the way their family looked at her, like an hourglass about to flip.

"Mind your words Sandy" She just rolled her eyes.

"Were arranging you into marriage" Sandy's eyes open wide after hearing her grandfathers statement. She looked at him.

"What do you mean?" She was utterly confused. She hadn't seen him in months and now he's talking about marriage.

"The Lu and Lin family decided to combine assets by arranging you and their son into marriage.

"We have talked about it with Mr Reil, and he is okay with it" Sandy became more confused. She doesn't have any idea what her family is talking about. "Mr Reil, the current CEO of Lin's agreed to the arrangement."

Sandy slam the spoon she was holding. She was in no mood to take jokes.

"What do you mean? And who is Mr Reil?" She said in a bit loud voice. But it seems no one in her family is listening to her.

"From now on, you will have an etiquette lesson after class at Mr Reils, his driver will pick you up, no more riding your motorbike from going and leaving school"

It was a lightning strike in his whole body. Etiquette lessons, no motorbike, for her, it's like living in hell. She wasn't cut for being proper. She was the total opposite of proper. And she likes it that way.

"What!" That is all she could ever say. She dumbfounded.

"You know what we are talking about Sandy" Her grandmother stated so calmly while eating the food.

"Hell yeah, and all of you are out of your mind. I'm not agreeing to this"

Sandy lift her butt onto the chair and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked at her mother.

"You wouldn't want this mom, right?" She asked her mother, hoping she would take her side. But she was wrong.

"This is for your own good honey" Her face grew angrily.

"You too? I'm too young for this, I'm only 20, and this is the 21st century for goodness sake!"

"I marry your grandfather when I was 18, and so what if it is the 21st century..." Her grandmother put the spoons on the table after eating.

"...after 5 months of preparations, you and Mr Reil will get married" her grandmother continues. "..now get those hideous jeans of yours and put on some actual nice clothes"

"Them make me."

It was a sentence ending in a period. She flipped her hair, shows her back to her family, and walks away. She decided motto get married and she will not do it no matter what.
