Stefan takes care of Caroline then after few minutes Caroline wakes up as she was fainted she asks "Stefan , Mom?" Stefan is so sorry and goes to her caresses her face and says "She's Gone , Caroline.. you fainted when you saw her taking her last breath " Caroline starts to cry, Stefan comforts her but still her tears have no limit. Klaus comes and knocks on the door. Stefan opens the door. Klaus comes inside and sits beside her best Friend Caroline , He cups her face and kisses her cheek ,utters "Stay Strong, you're brave barbie .." she nods he continues "Funeral's arrangements are done .. so you both get ready"
Caroline looks so sad she goes towards Stefan and says "Stefan , i only packed some clothes as i didn't know that she's gonna die so not funeral's clothes .. can you get me a funeral dress.." He nods and leaves to get her a dress. she waits for him while crying after an hour Stefan comes then they both get ready for emotional Funeral. Some of Liz's Friends attend Funeral. While putting a flower on her Mother's grave she cries and remembers her own words to Stefan " .. just wait till my mother is alive after her you can choose your path ,, i won't force you stay with me .." (you can see this in chapter 6 unusual deal with heart) she cries and gets sad even much more as she thinks that she will have no one by her side as Stefan and Caroline will be separated as per this deal she made with him.
Stefan moves towards her and carries her then comforts her. After sometime when everyone has put flowers on her grave and prayed for her peace they leave. Caroline and Stefan come home while Klaus is gone to deal with flights etc. Caroline and Stefan come in room Stefan goes to change his clothes and comes out in casuals and says "go , change your clothes .. i guess night's flight for us ..so be ready" he is about to go down stairs but Caroline grabs his wrist and then he turns towards her.
Stefan asks with suspicious look "What, do you need anything,Caroline? she nods and gets closer to him and says "Do you remember our wedding night?" Stefan looks puzzled but nods and says "so ? yes I do.. we talked then i tried to make you understand several things and like ..? so what?"
Caroline replies while her eyes her down, filled with tears "i told you that I wouldn't force you to stay with me after my mother was not alive anymore.. so i wanna say I married you because of her health no the reason of this compromising marriage is gone so why should we stay together .. you can stay with Elena , live your life just the way you like .. and" Stefan breaks the vase beside him interrupting Caroline and then he shouts
"What the hell are you saying Caroline , i don't care about that freaking deal you made but for me this is not a compromising marriage anymore.. you're my wife and you'll always be.. i did a mistake i know it hurt you i kind off betrayed you but this is not fair i deserve a chance and whether you give it or not i am taking it .. I don't wanna live with Elena i wanna spend my life with you Don't you get that .." he is about to leave in anger but she stops him again and utters
"So what do you want me to do , you want me to survive this marriage which was done for my mother's health and your mother's will, how will it work Stefan... Every relation needs trust and love and i don't think that i will ever love or trust you .."
he looks furious and comes closer to her cups her face and says with deep,low and sensuous voice "Do you still think this marriage is compromise .. i don't think that I think it's an unknown desire of both of us which convinced us to marry each other .. think carefully Caroline that is it really a COMPROMISE OR DESIRE? and as far as its consistency is concerned we'll make this marriage work at any cost.."
he continues "pack your bags and be ready to leave and don't ever say this marriage a compromise and don't ever ask that the reason of our relation is gone so why should we be together .. we'll be together no matter what ..DO YOU GET IT CAROLINE?" his tone gets a little higher she looks sad but happy as well she starts to pack her bags and smiles then thinks "Mom, i have someone by my side .I am not alone"

Stefan is still pissed so leaves towards his room without saying any word Klaus rests on couch and demands a glass of water with Elena who gives a shocking look but then brings a a glass of water for him then he smirks she gets pissed .
"Go Mommy, take some rest you must be tired.." Rose requests and then Caroline nods and leaves towards her room. She opens the door and finds Stefan in an arm chair in front of window she calls "Stefan.."
Stefan doesn't reply and ignores her Caroline again calls "Stefan!" he ignores her again . Her tone then gets higher while shedding tears "Stefan!.. don't you hear me .. i want you by my side and you're ignoring me ... and then you try to gain my love and trust .. you idiot bastard .."
