Trained Not To Love You 71 A little Silence
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
Trained Not To Love You 72 Abel’s Arrival
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
Trained Not To Love You 73 Questions
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
Trained Not To Love You 74 Breakfast Time
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
Trained Not To Love You 76 Father And Son
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
Trained Not To Love You 77 My Fears With Mother
RonanMy father sighed and looked at me. I could see his fatigue and worry. He wasn’t at peace, and I knew it was out of fear. A fear I had never seen in his eyes my entire life.“What is it, Father? Please tell me,” I said, hoping he would confide in me. He took a deep breath and exhaled ready to let go of what was eating him up inside."I could go head-to-head with Ighor when we were both Army generals," my father began, his voice carrying the weight of his past battles,"But now he’s a rank higher, and I’ll be retiring soon, son. You’ll have to be careful. I’m not saying you should marry his daughter, but you need to play your cards well. Your promotion was the best I could secure from Linus Dimitrov before he retired. It’s going to be rough from here on out because Ighor feels insulted."I nodded, fully aware of the challenges ahead. "I know, but I’ll figure something out. He’s not the only marshal in the federation; there are five people in that rank," I replied with a hint of res
Trained Not To Love You 78 At The Headquarters
RonanLeaving my parents' house, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. My father had assured me that Camila and Katya would be safe, and I trusted him to keep his word. Knowing that Camila would have her mother there to help her with Katya eased my mind further.Taking care of a child alone isn’t easy, and while Camila was with me, we had shared the responsibilities.I just hoped she wouldn’t be left to handle everything on her own at my father’s house. It wasn’t that I doubted her ability—far from it—but I didn’t want her to be overwhelmed or stressed.The protective instinct in me, the part that worried over her well-being, had me thinking like a 'Romeo,' as if I were playing the part of a romantic protector. The thought brought a small chuckle to my lips as I sat in the back seat of the car.As we pulled up to the headquarters, the atmosphere was noticeably different from the norm.The place was buzzing with a tense energy, far more intense than usual. Although the hallways weren’t
