"How could you do this ?" She shook Carina's wrist violently . Carina sniffled , her eyes puffy and red . "A peasant's son ! For Pete's sake Carina ! He is our servant !" "So what if he is ?" Carina yelled , her voice cracking . Sophia slapped her harshly . Carina whimpered . "I did not raise you to run off with a lowborn !" She sounded venomous . "I love him", she mumbled , endless tears rolling down her cheeks . "Love ?" She laughed sarcastically . "You have no idea what 'love' is ! You're a bloody child !" "Tommy loves me and I love him ! That's all I know !" She yelled , suddenly furious . The maids tried to calm Carina down but it was no use . "I love him and I will love him forever ! Every morning , every night , every second I will love him ! And he will love me back !" After some more yelling and tears , Carina passed out .

Carina remembered the words as she now sat in front of Thomas , an array of breakfast spread out in front of her . Thomas took a sip of his tea as Carina eyed him . She was the one who taught him how to hold a cup when they were young . "What do you want to talk about ?" She tried to keep her tone normal . "There are quite a few things . But firstly , you have to learn to behave ", he said sternly , putting his cup down . "I know how to behave . My mother made sure of that at a very early age . If you try to remember ." There was a slight bitterness in her tone . "Listen to me carefully . If you misbehave here , mrs.Belle will annul your marriage and kick you out . You will have to live with your mother . Will you be happy then ?" He glared at her . Carina slammed her fork on the table . "Fine", she mumbled .
