Camila

The night had been wild, and the morning even more so.

Two days passed, wrapped in a blissful bubble of love and serenity, where the outside world ceased to exist.

Neither of us mentioned Ronan's upcoming trip, as if by ignoring it, we could make it disappear.

I was grateful for the escape, for the pure joy and love we shared.

This life, this fleeting dream, was something I could never have in the real world. Yet Ronan had created it for me, effortlessly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

He made me feel like a freeborn, the wife of a Colonel, and the mother of his daughter. It was a perfect dream, and even though I knew it was temporary, I cherished every moment, holding it close like a precious gift.

But soon, our little holiday came to an end, and it was time to return to the estate.

Ronan seemed to think I would be sad, leaving behind our hidden sanctuary, but I wasn’t.

In fact, I felt a sense of calm. The sooner he went to Kavistan and returned, the sooner w

    CamilaI could see how hard Ronan was trying to ease my worries, and the effort he was putting into protecting us was both touching and endearing. His concern for our safety, his desire to shield us from any potential harm, made me smile despite the heaviness of the situation.“I’ll be fine, Ronan,” I assured him, my voice soft yet firm. “Just make sure you come home to me in one piece.”“I will, Malishka, I promise,” he replied, his smile warm and comforting as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror before taking a turn.His words lingered in the air, a promise that felt like a lifeline in the midst of all the uncertainty. Despite everything, I felt a sense of peace, knowing that Ronan was doing everything he could to keep us safe. And that, for now, was enough.We arrived at the estate, and I was immediately struck by the sight of the heavily guarded gate.It was clear that something serious was happening. My heart began to race as I instinctively reached out to touch Katya, ho

    RonanThe shock of Marc's death still lingered, a heavy weight in my chest, but I forced myself to push through. I drove to the house, my mind racing, especially with the Lieutenant beside me—a man I didn't recognise, which only added to the unease.Once we arrived at the house, I called out for Kenneth and Oliver, who quickly responded."Welcome home, Sir," they greeted me. Kenneth’s voice filled with genuine relief. I knew his words were more for Camila than for me. My presence meant that Camila was home, but I also knew she wouldn’t be staying here for long."Help Camila bring the things in," I instructed, already moving toward my study, the Lieutenant close behind me. As I closed the door, I took a moment to gather myself, trying to push aside the chaos swirling in my mind."Tell me what's really going on, Lieutenant," I demanded, needing straight answers. He sighed heavily before speaking."Sir, we don't have all the details, but our intelligence suggests there's a targeted effort

    RonanThe moment Lieutenant Orlov left, I sank into my chair, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me.My hands trembled as I reached for my phone, dread creeping in as I prepared to learn the truth. I knew I had to call Abel—he was the only one who might be reachable right now, given that the rest of my friends were likely in the same precarious position as me, all of us holding the same rank except for Abel, who hadn’t yet been promoted.I dialled his number, my heart pounding as I waited for him to answer. When I finally heard his voice, it was strained, barely holding together."Ronan," he said, his voice cracking under the weight of grief."I just heard about Marc. Is it true?" I asked, though I already knew the answer. I could hear him sigh on the other end."I’m afraid so, Ronan. We left the club together," he said, his voice breaking as he spoke. I could hear the pain, the guilt, the disbelief, and it mirrored my own. I had no words of comfort to offer, no way to

    RonanAbel arrived as he said he would, and we spent most of the night talking about Marc. It was his first time visiting my house, but he wasn’t in any state to notice or admire the surroundings.Grief hung heavy between us, making everything else seem trivial. I couldn’t bring myself to entertain him properly—our shared sorrow overshadowed any attempts at hospitality.This time, I didn’t let Camila serve us. I made sure Kenneth and my butler, Oliver, took care of everything instead.Abel was deeply shaken, more than I had expected.I could see the fear in his eyes, the way his hands trembled slightly as he spoke. He kept pleading with me to stay safe, his voice laced with desperation.He didn’t want to lose another friend like we had lost Marc. I hadn’t realised just how hard Marc’s death had hit him.It had affected me too, of course, but I’d kept most of it inside, processing it quietly. Unlike Abel, I had Camila and Katya to comfort me, to help bear the weight of the pain."Will

    Ronan"Once I resume work, I'll put in the paperwork and have them come pick Arya up from here," I said, watching Abel's eyes widen in surprise."You mean she’s here?" he asked, his voice laced with disbelief.I nodded, feeling the weight of the situation more heavily than ever."Yes, in the servant’s quarters. I didn’t know what else to do, Abel. I couldn’t have her wandering around, especially with everything going on. If she goes missing and the government demands I turn her over, and I can’t, I’ll be in serious trouble. I really didn’t have a choice. I wasn’t home, so I just told them to put her in the servant’s quarters."Abel sighed, shaking his head. "You really aren’t lucky with women, it seems. She should have just turned herself in. I heard she was sloppy at the Red Cross, which is why they let her go so easily; otherwise, she’d still be free. But she wasn’t even doing her job properly."I leaned forward, narrowing my eyes at him. "You seem to know an awful lot more than I d

    RonanMorning arrived, and I dressed in silence, feeling the absence of Camila’s usual presence as she didn’t come to help me get ready.Having a guest in the house meant pretending that things were different now, and it sucked.As I headed downstairs, I found Camila at the dining table, carefully setting places for two. I considered telling her not to bother, but the look in her eyes stopped me. She wanted to do this, and I couldn't take that away from her."You made breakfast?" I asked, approaching the table.She nodded, a small smile playing on her lips."Kenneth helped with the crepes," she said just as Abel walked in, fully dressed and ready for the day.The moment he saw Camila, he whistled, his surprise evident. It seemed Joseph and Marc had never told him she was staying with me.Did they suspect and choose to keep it to themselves? I wouldn’t put it past Marc; he was always a step ahead."You brought Camila here after everything that happened?" Abel asked, making himself comfo

  • Trained Not To Love You   75 In Glenda’s Shoes

    RonanI arrived at my father's estate, and as I walked into the house, the first person I saw was Glenda.The years had taken their toll on her; she looked tired and had aged noticeably. Her posture was humble, with her head bowed, a shadow of the woman I once knew."Good morning, Master Ronan," she greeted me, her voice soft and respectful.The anger I once felt toward her had faded. The possibility that she hadn’t drugged the decanter, as I once believed, had made me realise how unfair my judgments might have been.I hadn't yet investigated the matter fully, but I knew that someday I needed to get to the bottom of it."Good morning, Glenda," I replied, offering a small smile. "Camila sends her love."Her face brightened at the mention of her daughter, a spark of life returning to her weary eyes."I’m glad she isn’t causing you trouble, Master," she said, almost as if relieved. Perhaps she had feared I had come to complain about Camila, and her reaction made me wonder what burdens sh

    RonanI walked into my father's office and found him buried in documents, his expression tense and focused. The situation with the Kavistanians was clearly weighing heavily on him, as it was on all top military officers."Father," I said, breaking the silence. He looked up at me, his eyes reflecting a mix of fear and relief."I heard you hid away. Did you know? Did your ex tell you what was coming?" he asked abruptly, skipping any formalities. I could also see a tinge of fear in his eyes. If in anyway I was in league with Arya, that would get me into trouble.I shook my head."No, I didn't know. I just wanted to get away and spend some time with my daughter. I needed peace and quiet, and it seems that desire might have saved my life," I replied, settling into the chair across from him.He studied me for a moment, his eyes searching for something—perhaps reassurance that I was truly okay. Then he sighed, the tension in his shoulders easing just slightly."I'm glad you're alive, son. Y

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
