you have no legal right to stay if the K1 sponsor does not want to marry you.

Yes, of course, a person can refuse to marry someone even if they are a k-1 petitioner. If the person is not interested in getting married or has changed his/her mind, there is no way to compel him or her to marry you. If you are not to be married to that person, you will need to depart the US before your I-94 expires. If you do not, you will fall out of status and become unlawfully present. After that, there are no paths for you to legalize your status within the US through any other means. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

The solution is that you leave before your I-94 expires unless you are a victim of abuse.

You are screwed as you must marry her to adjust your status and it does not who changes mind. You must leave the US. Asylum is the only way out IF you are eligible.

Unfortunately, the restrictions on fiances are very tough. You can only adjust your status through a marriage with the original petitioner that took place within 90 days of your entry.
