111 Morning Arrived

CamilaMorning arrived, and despite knowing Ronan would return, my heart felt heavy with an ache I couldn’t shake. My tears wouldn’t stop falling, and it seemed nothing could distract me from the emptiness his absence had left behind.I never imagined I could miss someone so deeply, but it was as if a piece of me had left with him. I went through the motions, taking care of Katya, but my mind was elsewhere, and I struggled to focus.As I was feeding Katya, Mrs. Mirabel entered the room, her presence stiff and cold. "Camila, General Sergey wants to see you in his study," she said, her voice formal, though the disdain in her eyes was unmistakable.I stood up, about to pick up Katya, but Mrs. Mirabel’s sharp words stopped me. "Without the little miss," she added, her tone barely concealing her dislike. She had never cared much for my mother or me, and I could feel the tension in the air.Still, there was something different about her today—her usual hostility was tempered by a hint of ca

112 Assurance

CamilaGeneral Sergey studied me for what felt like an eternity before he sighed, seeming to relax a bit. "You can call your daughter by her name, Camila. It’s just us here," he said gently. I nodded, trying to ease some of the tension in my body."I see you and Ronan are quite close now," he continued, and I immediately felt a wave of discomfort wash over me."He is fond of you," he added, "and I can see that. I know Melania must have made you uncomfortable, but know that you are safe here."I nodded again, but his next words sent my heart racing."Camila," he said, and I looked up at him, trying to mask my fear."I want you to be honest with me," he began, his tone steady but serious. "What happened the night of the incident?"My breath caught in my throat. I wasn’t sure where to start. So many things had happened that night, and I had tried to push them far from my mind. Now, hearing him ask, it felt like the memories were clawing their way back to the surface."I’m not trying to ac

113 Let’s have Breakfast

CamilaAs I made my way back to my room, I couldn't help but notice the way the workers looked at me. Some seemed genuinely frightened, while others eyed me with open disdain.What had I done to deserve such treatment? I hadn’t wronged any of them, but somehow, it felt as though my mere presence was enough to stir resentment.I realised then that my stay here would be far from easy. I would need to watch my back, or I could easily find myself in the middle of a setup. This was Ronan's family estate, and I had grown up knowing that survival often meant staying vigilant.When I entered the room, I found my mother already prepared for the day. She turned toward me, concern in her eyes."How did it go?" she asked."It was fine," I replied, trying to sound calm. "Master Ronan wanted to speak to me on the phone, and Master Morozov had some things to discuss. There's nothing to worry about, ma." My voice was steady, and she seemed reassured, nodding slightly.I then lifted Katya, ready to ta

114 Rules

CamilaGeneral Sergey’s voice grew even firmer as he laid down his expectations, making it clear to everyone in the room that things were about to change."Things are going to be different around here. I don’t want anyone disrespecting Camila. She is my granddaughter’s mother, and she deserves respect. That goes for you, too, Melania. Don’t try to humiliate her or cause her grief. You’ve done enough in the past, and I was too busy to pay attention, but this time, you had better not push it."His words hung heavy in the air, and I could feel the shift in the room, the weight of his authority pressing down."It took a lot to convince Ronan to let them stay here," he continued. "Our son doesn’t trust us with his daughter or with Camila. That says a lot about how we’ve conducted ourselves. From now on, I will personally handle everything that concerns Camila. Am I clear?"Madam Melania’s face was a mask of shock, her lips thin with tightly restrained anger, but she nodded reluctantly, know

115 Trip To Kavistan

RonanThe brief phone call with Camila brought a much-needed sense of peace to my mind. I hadn't realised just how much I needed to hear her voice until it came through the receiver.After a lonely long, sleepless night and a tedious morning dealing with Arya, who couldn't seem to keep her hands to herself, I was counting the hours until this mission was over so I could send her off to the Jorvikian army, where she belonged.Joseph handed me a coffee, and we sat in silence, waiting to board our flight. Before he could say anything, Arya took the opportunity to interject."Can I have a cup too?" she asked, her voice grating. Joseph's patience was wearing thin."Do I look like an errand boy?" he asked sternly, his tone leaving no room for misunderstanding. Arya's face paled, and she shook her head, clearly intimidated.She turned her gaze to me, attempting to smooth things over. "Ronan, you'll share, won't you? I'm famished," she said, trying to sound innocent, but her constant needines

116 Settling In

RonanWhen we arrived at the quarters, we were given two rooms, which unfortunately meant Arya would have to share mine.I disliked the arrangement immediately, and knowing Arya’s manipulative tendencies, I wasn’t comfortable with it.So, I quickly came up with an excuse about not sleeping in the same room as a woman I wasn’t married to.It was an easy out, and no one questioned it.I left the room to Arya and moved into Joseph’s, where he was more than happy to share.I didn’t want to be alone with Arya, not because I didn’t trust myself, but because I didn’t trust her. Knowing what she was capable of, sharing a room with her was a gamble I wasn’t willing to take."When will we have the meeting, please?" I asked the Colonel, who was assigned to attend to us, eager to get things moving."Tomorrow," he replied. "The Prime Minister has yet to outline his desires. Once we get the full scope, we can begin the dialogue and negotiations."I nodded, acknowledging his response.The delay was f

117 Dealing With Officers

RonanI was lying on the couch, trying to rest, when I was startled by a knock that echoed through the quiet room in the early hours of the morning.It took me a moment to gather myself, my mind still foggy from sleep. I glanced at my wristwatch, its hands glowing faintly in the dim light. It was five in the morning.Another knock came, a little louder this time. My heart began to race, and my stomach tightened with unease. Who could be here at this hour?I hadn’t yet armed myself, still waiting for our contact to deliver the weapons and ammunition we’d need to protect ourselves in the dangerous terrain of Kavistan. Without a gun, without any real sense of security, I felt exposed, vulnerable. But there was no choice – I had to face whoever was on the other side of the door.With a deep breath, I braced myself and walked to the door, each step heavy with the weight of uncertainty. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw when I opened it. Standing there, calm and composed, was Colonel Malik.

118 Beginning our Mission

RonanJoseph and I were ready in just under forty minutes, moving quickly through our morning routine. Despite the urgency, a pang of hunger hit me. Somehow, I doubted breakfast was going to be part of the day’s agenda.My thoughts drifted home, and I couldn’t help but picture Camila. Back home, she would’ve had something prepared for me even before Kenneth started his day.The memory of her warmth and care made my chest tighten, a feeling of longing creeping in. I missed her terribly, and it gnawed at me that I wouldn’t be able to call her this morning before the meeting.I glanced at my watch again. It was too early to reach out; she was probably still asleep, enjoying the comfort of not having to worry about chores or early morning tasks.I wanted to hear her voice, to find some kind of grounding in her words, but I had to wait. I only hoped my father was keeping his promise to watch over them, ensuring their safety in my absence."Set?" Joseph’s voice broke through my thoughts, pul

119 Meeting In Kavistan  

RonanThe meeting venue was surrounded by soldiers, their presence impossible to miss. Armed guards stood watch at every corner, and I couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in my chest.The sheer number of military personnel made me question our safety. Was it even safe for Joseph and me to be here?My mind raced, but I forced myself to stay calm, knowing it would be foolish for the Kavistanians to harm us. After all, we were messengers, and attacking us would be as good as declaring war—exactly the thing we were trying to avoid.It would be reckless, I thought, for them to kill two people with no real significance, just to start a war that could destroy everything. They had to know that. Joseph and I were just two among many; we were merely pieces in a much larger game.In Jorvik, there were at least twenty other lieutenant generals like us. We weren’t special. We weren’t the ones making the big decisions, and in the grand scheme of things, our lives didn’t carry much weight

120 Ongoing Meeting

Ronan"This might sound crazy," the Colonel began, her eyes flicking from the map back to us, "and we haven't been able to fully confirm it yet, but we believe the Belvarians are planning something massive. A strike so devastating that it could alter the balance of power. And we suspect they’re working closely with the Greygots to pull it off. Think about it—what better way to weaken the countries that defeated them than to turn their allies against each other? If Jorvik and Kavistan go to war, both of our militaries will be severely weakened. We’ve already been hit hard, but our wealth in uranium and superior ammunition have kept us secure. Your government has benefited from that strength as well."Her voice grew heavier with each word, and she sighed deeply as if the weight of what she was about to say was almost too much to bear."Kavistan is barely hanging by a thread," she admitted, her tone revealing a vulnerability that wasn’t usually seen in high-ranking officers."We’re fight
