Ronan“So, you’re seeing someone?” Erin asked, his gaze fixed on me. I felt the urge to change the topic, my words almost forming on my lips. But before I could say anything, his phone buzzed sharply. He glanced at it and answered immediately, his voice steady and low. He didn’t leave or excuse himself, though; he stayed right there, barely a foot away, as if he didn’t want me to feel shut out.That was Erin. He was never secretive around me, not since we were kids. I could still see the shadow of that little boy I’d grown up with, always looking up to me for answers and direction, always leaning on me. Time had passed, and life had changed us both, but one thing was still the same—he trusted me completely. And in that moment, as I watched him take that call, his face shifting through a mix of emotions, I realised I trusted him too.But could I be sure he was trusting the right people?“Are you sure?” he asked the person on the other end of the line, his tone suddenly grave. His expres

162 Trust

RonanErin’s words hit me like a hammer, and I watched the pain flicker across his face, the shadows of his past clawing at him again.“The Kavistani are in on this,” he continued, his voice strained. “Which means… our head of state isn’t safe, Row.” He looked at me, eyes searching, but I couldn’t focus. His words floated in the air, distant and muffled, as a single thought consumed me: My parents. My daughter. Camila and Glenda.What if they didn’t leave of their own free will? What if they were taken?“What if they took them?” I asked aloud, my voice raw. Panic tightened its grip on me, and my mind spun in chaotic circles. What if everything was staged to look like a disappearance, a strategic move to sever any connections I had?“Frederick is already on it,” Erin replied softly, placing a steadying hand on my shoulder. “We’ll know more once we get back to the base.”I nodded, but the anxiety gnawing at me wouldn’t let go. ‘Missing. All of them’. My family, my friends—just gone.“Be

163 Abel Did It

RonanI watched Erin’s expression shift as he listened, his eyes narrowing, his jaw tightening. He didn’t interrupt, just sat there, driving, taking it all in.Then I told him about what happened when I returned home that fateful evening. The lies I had to tell, the truths I had to bury, and the ever-looming fear that nothing would ever be the same again.When I finally finished, the silence that followed was thick and heavy. Erin’s gaze bore into mine, searching for any sign of deceit, any reason not to believe me. But there was nothing left to hide.“Poor Camila…” Erin murmured, his voice cracking under the weight of emotions. He looked down, rubbing his hands together as if trying to rid himself of an invisible burden. “It must be so hard… pretending to be a nanny to her own child. How could you subject her to that?” he whispered, pain lacing every word. “You could have left the country.”I nodded slowly, feeling the familiar ache in my chest every time I thought of Camila and t

164 Makes Sense

RonanThe idea twisted in my mind, plausible and disturbing all at once. “You might be onto something,” I conceded, rubbing my temple as if it could ward off the headache forming there.“Since he was Arya’s contact and handler in Jorvik, it’s not that far-fetched to suspect he was involved in some scheme to get me disqualified and dismissed.”“I’m just guessing,” Erin said, a slight frown on his face. “But there’s enough history there for us to be suspicious. He knows you. Knows how to hurt you.”Before I could reply, Joseph chimed in, his expression grim. “You know what? I think Erin’s right. Marc never trusted that guy, not for a second, but we kept him around for some reason. I guess we just didn’t want to believe he could really do us harm. But with everything we know now… after finding out he was working with Arya? I’d believe anything. The guy’s had it in for you for a long time.”He let out a dry chuckle, but I could hear the anger simmering beneath his casual tone. “It’s easy f

165 Time To Go Rogue

RonanMy chest tightened painfully. Mad? How could I be mad? She had done everything right—she’d been brave and smart, more than anyone could’ve asked of her.“No, Malishka. I’m not mad at all,” I said softly, my voice steady with reassurance. “In fact, I’m relieved. And proud. You did the right thing.” I paused, letting the relief and warmth flow through my words. “How’s Katya?” I asked, eager to know more about my daughter.“She’s fine,” Camila replied, a soft smile in her voice. “She’s in the living room with your mother. Madame won’t let her out of her sight for even a second.”I couldn’t help but smile at that. My mother, ever the protector, always putting family first. “Good. I’m glad they’re together.” I glanced at Erin, his face reflecting the same relief I felt. “There’s some food there,” I added, though I knew they might not have thought of it in their haste to get to safety.“Yes, I know,” she said, a hint of humour threading through her words. “But we came prepared, too. We

166 Back To The Bunker

CamilaHearing Ronan’s voice filled my heart with an overwhelming sense of joy, the kind that almost brought me to tears. I wanted to scream out in relief, but I couldn’t. I had to keep it all hidden.For days, my chest had been tight with worry, my mind consumed by fear. But now, just hearing his voice, knowing he was safe and sound—it was like a huge weight had been lifted off me. I could finally breathe again. But beneath that relief, there was still a storm of anxiety. The news coming in was terrible. I knew what it meant for him and Joseph. And the more I thought about it, the more I realised just how bad things might get.In the worst-case scenario, I’d have to beg him not to come home. I’d have to do whatever it took to keep him away, to keep him safe. The whispers of a planned coup were becoming louder, almost like a distant drumbeat getting closer and closer. It was terrifying to think that this time, it could really happen.Would it be safer for us to leave the country entir

167 A Word With Dimitri

CamilaI didn’t want to make things awkward. Whatever was happening between my mother and Master Dimitri was clearly delicate. So, I chose to act like it was the most normal thing in the world.I pretended not to notice the way they stood a little too close to each other or the lingering touch on her shoulder. But I knew my mother too well—she’d want to talk about it later, to give me some sort of explanation. I could already see it in her eyes, the slight tightening around the edges, as if she was preparing for that conversation in advance.“Sir, I’d like to speak with you in private,” I said, turning to Master Dimitri with a determined look.My mother’s brow furrowed in concern, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face.“It has nothing to do with you, Ma,” I assured her quickly, not wanting her to think it was about what I’d just seen. The last thing I wanted was to make her feel self-conscious or guilty. But I needed to talk to Master Dimitri alone, and I needed him to understand

168 Telling Dimitri

CamilaI offered him a small, genuine smile, trying to let him know that everything was okay. “Sir, if I may speak,” I said softly, keeping my tone respectful. I didn’t want to overstep, but I needed to make sure he understood where I stood. He nodded, giving me permission to continue.“I would be the happiest person in the world to see my mother happy,” I began, making sure each word was deliberate. “And if it’s with you, then so be it. I have no issues with it.”I watched as his expression shifted from disbelief to cautious hope. He stared at me, brow furrowed, as if trying to figure out if I really meant what I said.“Really?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“Yes, really,” I affirmed, nodding to emphasise my sincerity.“But… talk to her, Camila. Tell her to give me a chance,” he pleaded softly, and I could see just how much this meant to him. His whole demeanour was one of a man who had been waiting, hoping for years, and now that there was a glimmer of possibility, he d

169 Finding Out About Erin

Camila"I want to hear his voice," Dimitri said softly, a vulnerability in his tone I wasn’t used to hearing. For a moment, I was confused. Who did he mean?Then he whispered the name that sent a shockwave through me: “Erin.”I felt my breath catch in my throat, and my heart seemed to skip a beat.Erin? Erin was with Ronan?My mind whirled, struggling to process what I’d just heard.Ronan had found him? After all these years of thinking he was gone forever? After believing we’d lost him, that he’d died in some dark, lonely place we’d never be able to reach?Tears welled up in my eyes before I could stop them. Tears of relief, of overwhelming joy. They spilt down my cheeks, and I didn’t even bother wiping them away. We had been bracing ourselves for confirmation of his death, trying to prepare for the worst—and now, this. This impossible, beautiful miracle.“You gave us a scare there, Erin,” Dimitri murmured, his voice thick with emotion. He rubbed a hand across his face, as if trying

170 Dinner Time

CamilaWe set the table quietly, each of us lost in our thoughts. The air was different, lighter somehow, despite everything happening outside these walls.When General Sergey and Madam Melania finally joined us, I noticed it right away—the change in their expressions.Their faces, which had been drawn tight with worry and fear for so long, now seemed softer, almost peaceful. There was a sense of relief hanging around them, a faint trace of joy. It was as if a heavy shroud had been lifted off their shoulders.Of course, they still held themselves with the same poise and dignity as always, but I could see it—the way they shared small, knowing smiles, the way their postures seemed less rigid. For the first time in a long while, they looked free.Hearing from both their sons—one they had believed to be dead and the other they feared was missing—had given them something precious. Something they hadn’t dared to feel in a long time: hope.The news outside was still grim, with every channel f
