"{What is going on in his head!!! am I going to be seen on TV as his wife now when I'm not even his wife?!} She couldn't stop screaming and wailing inside.
"Let my hand go!" Nina muttered silently but in an aggressive voice to him.
she looked up coldly at him, it send shivers down his spines he didn't realize when his hand slipped away.
Nina went back to Mr Yates, standing so little at his front and her gaze down to the floor.
"Yes." Mr Yates snapped coldly but with little affection.
"Father I want to stay here for today. Can't I father?" She spoke as delicate as she could.
