Trained Not To Love You 95 A Confused Warning
CamilaI glanced at Madam Melania and could see the displeasure etched across her face. Her eyes were cold and accusatory, making me feel small under her sharp gaze.“What were you doing that allowed her to get sick on your watch, Camila?” she demanded, her voice dripping with disdain. “What other responsibilities do you have?”I opened my mouth to answer, but no words came out. I knew from experience that trying to explain myself to Madam Melania was pointless; she rarely listened and never cared for excuses.“You better pray she recovers quickly,” she continued, her tone threatening. “If anything happens to her, your life is forfeit. You have no other purpose in this family except to take care of that girl. And if something happens to my Katya, I will personally hand you over to the authorities. Useless,” she spat, her words like a slap across my face.She turned her attention to Katya’s room, her eyes scanning every corner with critical scrutiny. “Pack her favorite toys,” she ordere

CamilaAfter Madam Melania left, the doctor returned with Katya's medication. Thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious; just paracetamol was needed to bring down her fever. I felt a wave of relief wash over me knowing she was going to be okay.Kenneth and Oliver were both incredibly helpful throughout the day, and by five in the evening, we had finished all the work in the kitchen.Ronan had mentioned he wouldn’t be late, but I had a feeling he was buried under a mountain of work that would keep him occupied for a while.Katya’s fever went down soon after I gave her the paracetamol, and before long, she was up and about as if nothing had happened.It was a blessing to see her so lively after the scare this morning. I was immensely grateful for her quick recovery and made a silent promise to myself to be more cautious whenever I took her out to play.The thought of her getting sick again, especially after watching her lie in bed looking so small and helpless, was unbearable. The fear of l

CamilaClosing the door behind me, he moved swiftly, pressing me gently against the wall. Before I could catch my breath, his lips crashed onto mine with an intensity that took me by surprise. It was as if he had been holding back all day, and now all that pent-up desire was pouring out. I realised then that this was something I had wanted, too, all day long, I cared to admit.“You’ve been on my mind all day,” he whispered against my ear, his breath warm and intoxicating. His words sent a shiver down my spine, igniting a fire deep within me.“I thought you said Joseph…” I began, trying to remind him of our impending guest, but he silenced me with another deep, urgent kiss. His lips were insistent, and I found myself melting into him, surrendering to the electric pull between us. His kiss was like a wave, washing over me, drowning out all my doubts and fears, leaving only the two of us in this moment, lost in the heat of each other.With quick, practiced movements, he managed to unbutt

CamilaI heard him exhale, a long breath he must have been holding in. That’s when it hit me—Ronan had been doing his best to keep calm when I first mentioned Katya was ill. His shoulders seemed to relax a little, the tension easing from his body now that he knew she was okay.“I’m sorry I worried you,” I said softly, reaching out to touch his arm. His eyes met mine, and I could see the depth of his concern, the love he had for our daughter.“No need to apologize,” he replied, his voice steady now. “I just—I can’t stand the thought of anything happening to her. She means everything to me. You both do.” He pulled me into a gentle hug, and I rested my head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart.“And my mother? Did she give you a tough time?” he asked, his eyes searching mine for any hint of the truth. I hesitated. I knew that telling him everything would only add to his worries, and he already had so much on his plate. I didn’t want to trouble him more than he already w

RonanAs I opened the door, Joseph stood there looking like an undercover detective, complete with dark glasses and a long coat. He also had a bottle of wine in hand, which added a slightly comical touch to his serious appearance.“You look pretty obvious, you know,” I said, chuckling as I stepped aside to let him in. I took his coat and hung it up, then accepted the bottle of wine from him with a smile.“I should be in hiding, you know,” he replied with a grin, making himself comfortable as he glanced around the room.“Where are they?” he asked, his eyes searching for Katya’s playpen, which was usually in the living room.“Katya is sleeping, and Camila is in the kitchen,” I answered. His face immediately shifted into a frown.“Don’t tell me you’re going to leave her to do all the work tonight,” he chided, shaking his head at me. I laughed at his concern.“Actually, Oliver and Kenneth took care of most of it before they left,” I said, hoping to ease his worry. He nodded, but his expres

RonanCamila kept glancing toward the back door, her worry about Arya possibly barging in clear on her face. I could tell she was on edge.“Ronan, Kenneth thinks one of the cleaners let her in this morning,” she said quietly, still looking at the door. Joseph frowned, picking up on her concern.“I’ve dealt with it,” I reassured her. “Kenneth called me. Oliver has collected their keys, so there won’t be any more surprises.” At that, I saw her relax a little, the tension easing from her shoulders.“Arya was trying to recruit Camila this morning,” I mentioned to Joseph, watching his eyes widen in disbelief.“After everything she did to you? The woman is delusional,” Joseph scoffed, shaking his head in amazement. Camila chuckled softly, her nervousness starting to melt away.“She actually thought she had something to entice me with,” Camila added, her voice laced with irony. “Freedom, she called it.”I stood up to help her serve the appetizer, and Joseph, clearly entertained, asked, “And

Ronan"I'll be taking Camila and Katya to the house tomorrow evening," I said, glancing at Joseph. "I'll discuss everything with him in person while they settle in." Joseph paused, his eyes moving from Camila to me, concern evident on his face."Will she be safe there?" he asked, his voice serious. "Your mother is friends with the Semenovs." I could see he was genuinely worried for Camila's safety.Camila smiled, trying to reassure him. "I’ll be fine,” she said softly. “The place feels like home to me. I just have to keep my head down, that’s all. Besides, Master Morozov asked my mother to stay with Katya and me in the main house to help with Katya."I frowned, surprised by this new information."Your mother told me today when she came to get some of Katya’s things," Camila explained.I hadn’t expected my father to offer such an arrangement. It seemed uncharacteristically generous of him, but I suspected Uncle Dimitri might have influenced his decision. I knew he still had feelings for

RonanI had never seen Camila so free and happy as she was during dinner. The way she laughed, her eyes lighting up with joy, left an imprint on my heart.Knowing we’d soon be apart for a while made me cling to every moment, every second I could steal to just watch her, memorizing the curve of her smile and the way she leaned in, listening attentively to Joseph’s stories.I wanted to commit every detail to memory—her laugh, her warmth—so I could hold on to them when memories were all I’d have until I returned.We didn’t retire until three in the morning. The food had been amazing, and I had a suspicion Joseph may have gone a little overboard with the dessert. He’d always had a sweet tooth, and Camila, of course, didn’t let him decline any of it.We laughed about it all night. By the time we finally went to bed, I was so exhausted that having Camila nestled in my arms was all I needed to drift into a deep sleep.When I woke up late the next morning, the bed beside me was empty.

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
