RonanThe brief phone call with Camila brought a much-needed sense of peace to my mind. I hadn't realised just how much I needed to hear her voice until it came through the receiver.After a lonely long, sleepless night and a tedious morning dealing with Arya, who couldn't seem to keep her hands to herself, I was counting the hours until this mission was over so I could send her off to the Jorvikian army, where she belonged.Joseph handed me a coffee, and we sat in silence, waiting to board our flight. Before he could say anything, Arya took the opportunity to interject."Can I have a cup too?" she asked, her voice grating. Joseph's patience was wearing thin."Do I look like an errand boy?" he asked sternly, his tone leaving no room for misunderstanding. Arya's face paled, and she shook her head, clearly intimidated.She turned her gaze to me, attempting to smooth things over. "Ronan, you'll share, won't you? I'm famished," she said, trying to sound innocent, but her constant needines

RonanWhen we arrived at the quarters, we were given two rooms, which unfortunately meant Arya would have to share mine.I disliked the arrangement immediately, and knowing Arya’s manipulative tendencies, I wasn’t comfortable with it.So, I quickly came up with an excuse about not sleeping in the same room as a woman I wasn’t married to.It was an easy out, and no one questioned it.I left the room to Arya and moved into Joseph’s, where he was more than happy to share.I didn’t want to be alone with Arya, not because I didn’t trust myself, but because I didn’t trust her. Knowing what she was capable of, sharing a room with her was a gamble I wasn’t willing to take."When will we have the meeting, please?" I asked the Colonel, who was assigned to attend to us, eager to get things moving."Tomorrow," he replied. "The Prime Minister has yet to outline his desires. Once we get the full scope, we can begin the dialogue and negotiations."I nodded, acknowledging his response.The delay was f

RonanI was lying on the couch, trying to rest, when I was startled by a knock that echoed through the quiet room in the early hours of the morning.It took me a moment to gather myself, my mind still foggy from sleep. I glanced at my wristwatch, its hands glowing faintly in the dim light. It was five in the morning.Another knock came, a little louder this time. My heart began to race, and my stomach tightened with unease. Who could be here at this hour?I hadn’t yet armed myself, still waiting for our contact to deliver the weapons and ammunition we’d need to protect ourselves in the dangerous terrain of Kavistan. Without a gun, without any real sense of security, I felt exposed, vulnerable. But there was no choice – I had to face whoever was on the other side of the door.With a deep breath, I braced myself and walked to the door, each step heavy with the weight of uncertainty. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw when I opened it. Standing there, calm and composed, was Colonel Malik.

RonanJoseph and I were ready in just under forty minutes, moving quickly through our morning routine. Despite the urgency, a pang of hunger hit me. Somehow, I doubted breakfast was going to be part of the day’s agenda.My thoughts drifted home, and I couldn’t help but picture Camila. Back home, she would’ve had something prepared for me even before Kenneth started his day.The memory of her warmth and care made my chest tighten, a feeling of longing creeping in. I missed her terribly, and it gnawed at me that I wouldn’t be able to call her this morning before the meeting.I glanced at my watch again. It was too early to reach out; she was probably still asleep, enjoying the comfort of not having to worry about chores or early morning tasks.I wanted to hear her voice, to find some kind of grounding in her words, but I had to wait. I only hoped my father was keeping his promise to watch over them, ensuring their safety in my absence."Set?" Joseph’s voice broke through my thoughts, pul

RonanThe meeting venue was surrounded by soldiers, their presence impossible to miss. Armed guards stood watch at every corner, and I couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in my chest.The sheer number of military personnel made me question our safety. Was it even safe for Joseph and me to be here?My mind raced, but I forced myself to stay calm, knowing it would be foolish for the Kavistanians to harm us. After all, we were messengers, and attacking us would be as good as declaring war—exactly the thing we were trying to avoid.It would be reckless, I thought, for them to kill two people with no real significance, just to start a war that could destroy everything. They had to know that. Joseph and I were just two among many; we were merely pieces in a much larger game.In Jorvik, there were at least twenty other lieutenant generals like us. We weren’t special. We weren’t the ones making the big decisions, and in the grand scheme of things, our lives didn’t carry much weight

Ronan"This might sound crazy," the Colonel began, her eyes flicking from the map back to us, "and we haven't been able to fully confirm it yet, but we believe the Belvarians are planning something massive. A strike so devastating that it could alter the balance of power. And we suspect they’re working closely with the Greygots to pull it off. Think about it—what better way to weaken the countries that defeated them than to turn their allies against each other? If Jorvik and Kavistan go to war, both of our militaries will be severely weakened. We’ve already been hit hard, but our wealth in uranium and superior ammunition have kept us secure. Your government has benefited from that strength as well."Her voice grew heavier with each word, and she sighed deeply as if the weight of what she was about to say was almost too much to bear."Kavistan is barely hanging by a thread," she admitted, her tone revealing a vulnerability that wasn’t usually seen in high-ranking officers."We’re fight

Ronan"As you know, Ms. Mussolini and I were dating, and we were planning on settling down," I said, my voice steady despite the tension I felt rising in the room.General Yousef, however, wasn’t going to let it slide. "When you say 'were,' does that mean it is no longer so?" he asked, his sharp tone cutting through the air.I took a breath, forcing myself to stay composed. "What does my personal life have to do with this meeting, please?" I responded, choosing my words carefully. I didn’t want to give too much away, and it was clear that answering his question directly could lead us down a path I wasn’t willing to tread.The room fell silent. The weight of unspoken questions lingered between us. I could sense the shift in the air, a quiet contemplation settling over the group as they exchanged glances. The General and his officers then began speaking in their native tongue. They probably assumed Joseph and I wouldn’t understand, but part of our military training required us to learn t

Ronan“When the Marakatim raid a village, they do it to recruit new members,” the Colonel said, her tone heavy with the weight of the revelation. “That’s how Arya was recruited."I forced myself to act surprised, but inside, my mind was racing. I couldn’t believe Arya had been drawn into something this dark and dangerous. The Colonel’s eyes flicked toward me, as if gauging my reaction, then continued.“You were a target, Lieutenant General. We believe that there are Jorvikian and Kavistani military officials who are deeply embedded in this group. If they’re planning revenge, it’s very likely they are already infiltrating your country as we speak. The only reason Arya wasn’t detained when she entered Kavistan is because of her Jorvikian passport. Had she entered as a Kavistani national, she would have been arrested immediately.”The weight of her words settled over me. Arya’s newfound citizenship had protected her, but it also left the responsibility of her investigation in our hands.

RonanThe rest of the day unfolded like a dream. The blending of cultures at the reception created an electric atmosphere, with traditional music, dancing, and customs from both Jorvik and Belvaria.People laughed, cheered, and toasted together, the joy in the air bringing everyone closer in a way I hadn’t seen before.The food was exquisite—lavish dishes from both sides, served alongside sweets that melted in your mouth. I glanced around, noticing a few of the usual snobbish Jorvikians clinging to old prejudices, but their aloofness felt like a remnant of a fading past. The world was changing, and today was proof that we were moving forward.As the day finally wound down, my heart quickened, knowing I’d soon take Camila home with me for the first time as my wife.My mother’s eyes were misty with tears as we prepared to leave. I knew the real reason she was so sentimental had little to do with the wedding itself.She’d gotten used to Camila and Glenda living at home, filling her table
Trained Not To Love You 249 Camila’s Vows
RonanThese words were my truth, my heart’s deepest promises, and I meant to honour them, no matter what life might bring our way.The hall was filled with the soft sounds of sniffles and quiet sighs; I could feel the weight of emotion in the air. But in that moment, I was aware only of Camila. My vow, my promises, were for her and her alone.Camila took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts, and I could see the shy nerves flickering in her expression. She hesitated just a moment, and then began, her voice steady but filled with emotion.“Ronan,” she said softly, her voice warming as she spoke, “words can’t fully capture what I feel, but I’ll do my best.” A gentle chuckle rippled through the crowd, lightening the moment, and she smiled at me with a look that made my heart race.“You made me feel at home when I didn’t have a home,” she continued, her voice thick with sincerity. “Because of you, I’ve known joy, dignity, and freedom—even though society didn’t think I was worthy of those
Trained Not To Love You 248 Eager And Willing
RonanThe music began softly, and I stood at full attention, my heart pounding as I focused on the door where Camila would soon appear.I felt a mix of nerves and anticipation I hadn’t expected, my eyes lingering on that entrance, hoping each passing second would bring her closer. But first came the bridesmaids, one by one, entering gracefully.Olivia led the way, her figure heavily pregnant but glowing, followed by Stephanie, Ashley, and two Belvarian women who looked like relatives of Camila. Though I hadn’t met them before, their familial resemblance to Camila was subtle—a trace here, a gesture there.Then, my little Katya appeared, a tiny vision holding a small basket of flowers. My heart melted as she toddled down the aisle, her big eyes wide with wonder. For a one-year-old, she was doing exceptionally well, capturing the hearts of everyone as she made her way forward.But then, as her gaze found mine, she lit up and shouted, “Dada!” I couldn’t help but laugh, joy filling me as s
Trained Not To Love You 247 The Day Was Finally Here
RonanThe day I had dreamed of for so long had finally arrived—my wedding day. As tradition demanded, I couldn’t spend the night with my bride, so I stayed at my house with Marc, Joseph, Erin and Ashton. Lying awake that morning, memories flooded my mind, filling me with emotions I hadn’t felt in a long time. I remembered a different night, a night that haunted me and almost changed everything.That time, I’d been betrayed, drugged, and left in a haze by people I’d thought I could trust—people like Abel and Mira, whose influence had threatened to destroy my happiness. But not this time. This time, it was just my brother my soon-to-be-in-law and my true friends and me, laughing and drinking, reliving those simpler days with nothing sinister lurking around the corner.For the first time, I felt completely in control, safe. I was grateful for that disastrous night from the past, because without it, I would never have crossed paths with Camila. Everything I’d been through, all the pain an
Trained Not To Love You 246 Two Days To The Wedding
CamilaTwo days before the wedding, Erin arrived with a heavily pregnant Olivia. I couldn't help but wonder how she managed to fly so far along in her pregnancy.Apparently, they had used a private jet, which explained the quick journey. My father had flown them all into Jorvik, bringing along his family, two lively ladies named Trisha and Lily, whom he said were our distant relatives. Along with them were Olivia’s friends, Stephanie and Ashely, who couldn't stop gushing about their excitement to see Marc and Joseph again. Clearly, those two men had left quite the impression on them.Olivia was radiant, her happiness infectious. It was clear she was free-spirited, a stark contrast to the life of servitude I had known.I was grateful she had never had to experience that harsh existence. Madam Melania was particularly taken with Olivia, unable to stop admiring her striking red hair and vibrant green eyes.I could see the wheels turning in Madam Melania’s mind as she tried to charm Olivi
Trained Not To Love You 245 Embracing A New Life
CamilaMy father returned to the villa that the head of state had prepared for him and his entourage. The wedding was just two weeks away, and he planned to leave briefly, returning with my family to attend the ceremony. I was excited at the thought of meeting them, especially with how well my mother’s relationship with Dimitri was progressing. Their bond seemed solid, unhindered by the past, and I was genuinely happy for them both.Ronan suggested we return to his house after the celebration, but Madam Melania was determined to keep us there. She pulled out all kinds of tricks to persuade us to stay, even pleading with my mother not to leave.However, Dimitri was firm in his decision to take her to Nerania, where he also planned to buy a house in Jorvik for them to stay. I understood his reasoning; Madam Melania often seemed to forget that we were no longer slaves, and a little distance might help her realise the changes in our lives.She wasn’t malicious, but her subtle reminders—li
Trained Not To Love You 244 Father And Daughter
CamilaAs Erin and Ashton walked in alongside my father, I found myself standing up almost absently, my heart racing. Seeing him in person was a revelation; he looked so much better than he did on the screen.His eyes were soft and warm when they fell on me, as if he had just encountered an angel, and in that moment, I couldn’t believe he was my father. The weight of the moment pressed down on me, filling me with a mix of joy and disbelief.I didn’t want to waste any time; I was determined to avoid any awkwardness between us. With a surge of emotion, I rushed toward him and wrapped my arms around his waist, letting him know that there was no need for words. I felt him pause for just a heartbeat before he slowly wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug, holding on tightly as if he were afraid I might slip away.“My daughter, my daughter,” he said, his voice cracking with emotion. I could feel his pain radiating through his words, hear it tremble in the air between us. This moment was a
Trained Not To Love You 243 Nervous
CamilaI was a bundle of nerves after the signing ceremony. My heart raced, each thump echoing in my ears like a drum. I knew Fredrick wouldn't waste any time seeking me out. Erin had mentioned how impatient he had been throughout the event, his excitement barely contained.As I thought about the man I was about to meet, I felt my stomach twist into knots. My mother appeared calm and composed, but I was anything but. Fredrick was my father, a man I had never seen before, someone I hadn’t even known existed until now. The realisation weighed heavily on me. This was all so overwhelming, yet I understood it was something I had to confront.Once the signing ceremony ended, I slipped out of the living room and headed up to Ronan's room. I needed a moment to gather my thoughts and calm my racing heart. I wasn't sure how I would react when I finally met Fredrick face-to-face or what I might say to him. I had only spoken to him once over the phone, which felt like a distant memory now. That w
Trained Not To Love You 242 The Signing
RonanAs we celebrated, Ashton turned to Erin with a look of quiet amazement. “When my uncle told me the only way to achieve this was by working honestly with the Jorvikians, I didn’t believe him,” he admitted. “But I guess he was right all along.” Erin nodded, sharing the same sense of disbelief mixed with newfound hope. It truly felt like the dawn of a new era, and I was grateful beyond words to witness it, let alone be part of it.Just as we were toasting to freedom and the future, my father’s phone rang. He listened quietly, then looked over at me, his expression softening. “Gregory has agreed to waive the death penalty in exchange for Lucas’s cooperation. He’ll be dismissed from the military and serve three years in prison. After that, he’ll be a free man. This is the best deal we could secure for him.”I nodded, a feeling of respect and relief swelling up as I met my father’s gaze. “Thank you, Father,” I said, my voice low but sincere. He returned a small smile, nodding back. Al
