O...kay

Suddenly Anya felt a temperature drop. She craved to leave but she couldn't. It was as if Alvin had tied her down with an invisible force.

Although she rejected the idea of marriage, her eyes stung, threatening to tear up any second.

A word jarred through his clenched teeth while she could feel his eyes boring hole through her soul. "WHY?"

Her heart shuddered by hearing his cold dark voice suppressing his anger.

Was it fear? She didn't know. 

She felt her hands tremble. 

'I must be cold.' She assumed, unwilling to accept she was feeling trapped. If he forces her against her wishes, then consequences won't be good for both of them.

Weren't they doing good till now? 

Why did he have to bring up the wife or marriage topic?

Taking a long breath through her nose, she told herself that she can do better than this. She can be stronger emotionally too.
