Chapter 3: Karson's engagement
After arriving to the guesthouse, Lorina spends most of her time looking at the sea. Sometimes she was lost in thought of her past memories and then told herself to stop loving him and move on. After a week Lorina received a letter it was from Dukedom Melvin, she quietly stared at the Letter for few seconds. Upon opening it was Karson's engagement invitation with his beloved Evelyn. Evelyn was a commoner, but karson after a long period of argument with Duke Melvin and convinced him of accepting her as his daughter in law. Now they are not even trying to hide the fact that karson loved and dated Evelyn while being engaged to lorina. But lorina still didn't moved on from karson completely. For that Lorina decided that if she saw them together in their engagement may be she'll come to know that he is not her's anymore and never will be .
Lorina returned a day before their engagement to her house. The count didn't want his daughter to attend that engagement but since it's a invitation from Dukedom he can't disobey someone higher ranking than him so he reluctantly accompanied his daughter to their engagement. After arriving at the Dukedom both count and Lorina were instructed to go to the garden. The engagement ceremony avenue was the Duchess's favourite garden. After a few minutes the engagement ceremony started as Karson and Evelyn came to the avenue locking their hands together and smiling. Lorina couldn't look at them together but she forced herself to watch. Suddenly karson's and lorina's eyes locked, she wanted to cry but she turned away . Now the new couples started greeting every guest and Lorina told herself, see the man you love is not yours anymore and he never will be Lorina . Lorina left the avenue before anyone and went to her house without congratulating the couples. That night her sobbing was not heard by anyone, it was a lull night at the count's house.
