Trained Not To Love You 23 Welcome Home, Little One
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
Trained Not To Love You 24 Struggling To Fit In
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
Trained 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
Trained Not To Love You 29 A Calm
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
Trained Not To Love You 30 In His Arms
CamilaTears welled up in my eyes as I listened to his words. I had always felt like an outsider, unworthy of his kindness and care. The weight of my mistakes and the pain of my past bore down on me."I wish I could have made things right," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But now, all I can do is be here for Katya and you. I don't want to cause you any more trouble."Ronan squeezed my hand gently, his touch warm and reassuring. "I do not know what to make of what we have, Camila, but I will do my best for you and Katya. I promise," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. I reached out and touched his hand, feeling a mix of hope and fear."Do what you can for Katya. I might not always be with her, and a law concerning my people might arise. Anything can happen to a slave in the land of their captors, but Katya will always need stability. When those soldiers dragged me out, and I couldn't help her, I knew my limitations. Promise you will care for her even when I am no more," I sai
