Trained Not To Love You 22 Rethinking Things
RonanWe arrived at the bar where my friends were gathered. Everyone was there except Lucas, who was getting married to Leah. He had always liked her, which explained why he didn't attend my bachelor party. I guess what Glenda did worked out for him. Every time Glenda crossed my mind, a surge of rage filled me, but I knew I had to let it go for the sake of Katya and Camila.My friends seemed to like Arya. They were happy that I had moved on, but I felt a deep emptiness when we talked and interacted. There was a hole in my heart that nothing seemed to fill. That void had been there since Leah called off the wedding, and even my time with Arya couldn't mend it.It was a sad reality. I didn't want to linger at the club, so I told Arya we should go home. She didn't argue, and for that, I was grateful. She had always been pleasant and understanding until today. Her meanness toward Camila was unexpected and hurtful.I wouldn't lie; any woman would be intimidated by Camila. Despite t

CamilaIt was finally the day of Katya's arrival, and I couldn't contain my excitement. Master Ronan had done a wonderful job preparing the nursery for her, and Arya wasn't involved. I could feel the tension between them, but I kept out of it.When the driver approached the gate, Master Ronan, Miss Arya, and I stood outside, eagerly awaiting Katya's arrival. My heart raced with anticipation. It had been so long since I last saw my girl, and I yearned to hold her in my arms again.As the car pulled up, I was surprised to see Madame Melania holding Katya. The resemblance was striking—Katya looked just like her grandmother, unmistakably a Morozov.The moment Katya was handed over, she smiled at me. "Camila, here," Madame Melania said, passing Katya to me, but Ronan gently took her from her grandmother's arms. His face softened with affection as he held his daughter for the first time. It was a beautiful moment, and although I knew there would be many more like it, I let the image lin

CamilaWhen Madam Melania settled in, I hurried to get everything ready for Katya—her room, baby food, and all her essentials.After that, I briefed Kenneth on how to prepare meals to Madam Melania's liking. When I finished, Ronan came looking for me. He cradled a sleeping Katya in his arms, looking like the father of the year in his messy shorts and stained white t-shirt from baby food and burping. I wanted to chuckle but held it in.I led him to Katya's room, opening the door for him to enter. Once inside, I let him take in how I had arranged everything. His eyes caught the air mattress I had set up next to Katya's crib."You're planning to sleep here?" he asked, curious.I hesitated, not wanting to admit my distrust of Arya, so I simply nodded. "In case she needs anything," I explained softly.He gently laid Katya down in her crib and closed the distance between us. Looking deeply into my eyes, he tried to gauge my feelings."I know you are hurting. I doubt I know how to fix thi

Camila"If you need anything, just call me," Ronan said, holding his ceremonial cap tightly in his hands. He had been summoned to the headquarters, and there was an emergency. He might even be sent to a different country. I could see the worry in his eyes. Arya had cried all night, and I had worried for him, too, but these weren't peaceful times. We knew there was a possibility he wouldn't be coming home, so we braced ourselves for it.Ronan held Katya in his arms and kissed her little hand. "Daddy will be back before you know it," he told her softly. She touched his cheek and giggled, her laughter a soothing balm to our worried hearts. Katya was always a joy, bringing light and laughter to us all."Take care of her," he said to me, his voice filled with trust and concern. Honestly, he didn't need to ask. She was mine, too, but I understood his reason for saying it."Don't worry. I will make sure of it," Arya chimed in, trying to sound reassuring. Ronan's smile dropped instantly.

CamilaArya’s words cut deep, each one a dagger to my heart."Don't think Ronan would believe I said any of these things. It will be your word against mine," she added, a cruel smile spreading across her face. The weight of my powerlessness pressed down on me, suffocating me with the knowledge that I had no one to turn to for help.Holding my child close, I felt a surge of protectiveness and fear. My mind raced, desperate for a way out, for a way to shield my baby from Arya's hatred. "Now, put that thing to sleep and get to work. The house needs cleaning, and you're the only slave here. The workers are on break, and I doubt the house cleaners are coming today. Start with our room, then the other rooms," she ordered, turning sharply and heading towards the kitchen.I made sure Katya had everything she needed, but she refused to sleep. Her little eyes stayed wide open, full of energy. So, I placed her in her walker wheel, hoping she would stay occupied while I worked. My heart ache

Camila"Master Ronan hasn't been gone for long, and you've already been cruel to his child. What kind of wife will you be?" I asked, my voice trembling with anger and sadness. Arya walked up to me and slapped me hard across the face. The sting of her hand left my cheek burning."Slaves don't talk back to their masters," she hissed. I looked at her with defiance, my heart pounding."I am not your slave, and you are not my Master. So watch it, Arya. If you ever speak to that girl like that again, I will risk everything to make sure you are exposed," I said, my voice steady despite the fear bubbling inside me. She laughed, a cold, mocking sound that sent shivers down my spine."Who will you expose me to? Ronan? Do you think he will believe you? A lowly Belvarian slave? You're just a nanny and a servant, nothing more. You can't do what I can for him," She said and looked at me mockingly."You can't warm his bed, love him, have his children, or be with him. You can't be his company and co
Last Updated : 2024-07-17Trained Not To Love You 28 Saving Grace
CamilaAs they dragged me further, I began to pray fervently. I prayed for Ronan or Madam Melania to come home, to see what was happening, to stop it.Each step felt like a lifetime, filled with fear and helplessness. I could feel the weight of my situation pressing down on me, and my heart pounded with dread. "She is lying, please. She is lying," I wailed, my voice breaking with desperation, but the two soldiers ignored my pleas. The sinister look in their eyes filled me with a new kind of fear. Beating seemed to be the least of my worries now, and I shuddered to think of what else they might do.As they dragged me outside, the sudden glare of approaching headlights caught my eye. It was nighttime, and I couldn't see whose car it was, but the soldiers stopped, seeming to recognise the vehicle. When the car finally came to a halt, relief washed over me as I recognised it as Ronan's car. The rain had just stopped pouring, leaving the air heavy and wet. Ronan stepped out of the car

Camila"Clive, I want those two knuckleheads dismissed," Ronan told his driver calmly."Yes, sir," Clive replied. I was still shaken, but relief washed over me. I was grateful.When we arrived at the house, Ronan and I rushed inside. We could hear Katya crying from her room. We both hurried to her crib, finding her alone and distressed. I was soaked and couldn't pick her up, so Ronan gently lifted her in his arms, trying to soothe her."Go and shower and change your clothes. I will stay with her tonight," he said softly. I realised he wasn't going upstairs, which meant Arya wouldn't know he was home. I had a feeling that tomorrow wouldn't be pleasant for Arya. At that moment, all I felt was immense gratitude. "Once you are done, you can come," Ronan added. I nodded, still processing everything that had happened.I didn't spend too long in the bathroom. I slipped into a simple pair of pyjamas and returned to the room. By then, Ronan was dressed only in his vest and trousers. Katya

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

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
