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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-20Trained 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

RonanEntering the boardroom, I was immediately struck by the fact that everyone was already present.It was two minutes before the scheduled time, yet it felt as if I had arrived late. The atmosphere was tense, a clear indication of how important this meeting was.I quickly composed myself, pushing aside my worries. Abel’s expression revealed concern, but I couldn’t afford to focus on that now.I saluted my superiors and greeted my colleagues, following protocol as Abel returned my salute. The formality of it all felt slightly awkward, but it was necessary given the ranks in the room."How was your week off?" Marshal Amos Zielinski asked, his tone probing but not unkind."Quiet until I returned," I replied succinctly, keeping my response brief and to the point.Marshal Amos nodded, seeming to consider my words before continuing. "Well, I’m sure you’re aware by now of what’s happening with the Kavistanians," he said, his voice taking on a more serious tone."I am," I replied, nodding

Ronan"I need you to break the situation down a bit further," Marshal Abraham said, his tone steady but insistent.I took a moment to compose my thoughts, glancing at Colonel Joseph Zielinski, who remained calm and composed.I hadn’t spoken to him since I returned, and we hadn’t discussed Marc’s death. I wondered how he was holding up, but like all of us, he was trained to keep his emotions in check.I turned my focus back to the task at hand."From external threats, we know the Sardonians and Greygots are longstanding enemies of Kavistan. But internally, the situation is more complex. There are small terrorist groups within Kavistan, led by Kavistanians who either work for themselves or are possibly in league with external enemies. These groups exploit Belvarian slaves to carry out acts of violence and sow chaos among the population."I could see the marshals listening intently, absorbing the details."Kavistan is also plagued by illegal uranium mining," I continued.

Trained Not To Love You 250 A New Life
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
