201 Getting On With It

Ronan"I see you've met my nephew," Frederick said, his voice calm but weighted with meaning. I could only manage a nod in response, my mind still reeling from the day's events."He’s been helping us stay one step ahead of the Kavistani government’s plans. But don’t worry, we have others working there too. Still, I couldn’t trust just anyone with this mission. That’s why I had to bring him in,” Frederick continued.The way he spoke made me realise something important—it wasn't just about the mission. He needed people he could trust, and that hit me harder than I expected.For a while, I thought we were disposable, just cogs in the machine. The way Frederick had initially presented the mission to us made it seem like we were being used—like our lives didn't matter as much as the outcome. But now I understood. He had sent his nephew, someone who might as well have been his own son. If he was willing to risk that, it meant he trusted us more than I had imagined. This wasn't about throwin

202 Linus Decides

RonanFrederick seemed genuinely pleased as I nodded in response to his question.“The doctor mentioned you’d probably sleep longer, given how much blood you lost,” he said with a chuckle, his tone light, trying to make me feel at ease. “Plus, with all the meds they pumped into you, it’s no surprise.” He gestured toward the table, loaded with food. “Come on, eat up.”I took that moment to greet everyone, relieved to see how relaxed they all seemed. The tension that had been hanging over us like a cloud had dissipated. Whatever had happened while I was out, it was clear that, for now, there was no immediate danger.As I started to eat, Frederick made an announcement that caught my attention. “Linus has decided to help us,” he said, and I immediately looked over at Linus.Linus sat there, his posture calm but serious, a steaming cup of coffee in hand. “The evidence was undeniable,” he began. “It answered a lot of the questions I’ve been wrestling with for a while now. I haven’t spoken t

203 The Rest Of The Plan

Ronan“My wife is pregnant, and she’s Belvarian,” Erin said, his voice tinged with worry.“I can’t leave her behind, but I also can’t take her with me.” His anxiety was palpable, and I could see the conflict in his eyes. He was caught between protecting the woman he loved and the duty he had to the mission.Frederick’s expression softened as he responded. “Olivia will stay with Irene. I’m sure she would understand.” Erin gave a small nod, recognising that it was likely the safest option he could hope for. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something. At least she would be in capable hands.Linus then shifted his attention to the rest of us, his tone becoming more serious. “I need each of you to reach out to your fathers. Let them in on the plan. They’ll be the ones to handle the negotiations. It’s crucial. You all know my position—I’m retired.”We understood the subtext. His influence was still powerful, but he needed our families—those still in positions of power—to step in and take the re

204 A Calm Morning

CamilaI woke up before the sun had fully risen, a heaviness settling in my chest as I dragged myself out of bed. There was a lot to do, and I wanted to get ahead of the day, but it wasn’t just the chores weighing on my mind.My mother, Glenda, wasn’t feeling well. She’d been a little off lately, not just tired but something deeper. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach that it was more than just fatigue. She’d been through so much lately, too much, really—life had been overwhelming with all the commotion and stress we’d faced. I knew she needed rest, but still, it gnawed at me.I decided to take matters into my own hands. I needed to get the chores done before Madam Melania noticed anything was wrong. The last thing I wanted was for her to start complaining. She had been kind lately, and I didn't want her thinking we were taking her kindness for granted. I could already hear the biting edge of her voice if she suspected we weren’t pulling our weight, and I wasn’t about to let that ha

205 As The Day Progressed

Camila"No need to be tense, Camila. I mean well," Madam Melania said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder. The touch was so gentle, so unlike the rigid woman I had known all my life, and it made me pause. She let out a long, tired sigh, and I could feel the weight behind it."Honestly, having to be harsh and indifferent all the time is exhausting," she admitted, her voice sounding heavier than usual. There was something vulnerable in her tone that caught me off guard. I had always seen her as this unshakable force—cold, unrelenting, always in control. Hearing her like this made her seem... human.She sighed again, staring at the bacon sizzling in the pan. "You need to understand, Camila, this situation we're in... it’s dangerous. Feelings like this, they could get us all in trouble." Her words hung in the air like a warning, and I felt my heart thudding in my chest. She wasn't wrong—our world was cruel, and stepping out of line could lead to consequences none of us could bear."I was

206 A Call

CamilaLater that afternoon, the phone rang, and it was Ronan. He wanted to speak with his father, and as soon as I answered, I hurried to take the phone to Master Sergey, who was sitting quietly, watching the news.I didn’t dare glance at the television screen. It had become too difficult, with Ronan’s face plastered everywhere, alongside Joseph’s. The images were a constant reminder of everything going on, a reminder of the danger and uncertainty.Madam Melania sat nearby, a sadness etched into her face that was hard to ignore. I could see the worry in her eyes, the unspoken fear that something could go wrong at any moment. As Master Sergey went off to talk to Ronan, I felt compelled to ease her mind, even if just a little."It sounded urgent," I said gently, hoping to reassure her that Ronan’s call wasn’t an intentional snub. Her shoulders relaxed a bit, and she gave me a small nod, though the worry in her eyes didn’t completely fade.When Master Sergey returned, the look on his fac

207 The Address

CamilaThe announcement didn't come until seven in the evening, and by then, the air in the room was thick with tension.Master Sergey paced, his worry growing with each passing minute. He had already confided his fear that Head of State Gregory Novikov might refuse the Belvarian demands. But as much as Sergey worried, we all knew Novikov didn’t really have a choice. With his allies either dead, on the run, or hiding, he was cornered. The weight of his country’s fragile peace rested on his shoulders, and the cost of not accepting the Belvarian offer was too high. If he refused, Jorvik would descend into chaos.As we all stood waiting for the announcement, my mother sat in silence, a quiet but heavy presence beside me. She hadn’t spoken a word since hearing the update earlier in the day. Her eyes, usually so strong, now flickered with an intense mix of emotions—hope and fear intertwined so tightly that I could feel them radiating from her. I didn’t blame her. It had been twenty-two lon

208 From Novikov

CamilaNovikov continued his speech, and we were attentive, clinging to every sliver of hope we could muster."As for Lieutenant General Ronan Morosov and Joseph Zelienski," Novikov continued, his voice steady but carrying a hint of regret, "they too have followed in their fathers' footsteps and given much for their country. So, it was deeply disheartening to see that an investigation led by incompetent officers painted them as traitors, making them fugitives."I felt a lump form in my throat as his words hung in the air. The accusations against Ronan and Joseph had weighed on all of us, but hearing Novikov acknowledge the injustice brought a glimmer of relief. He continued, and I found myself leaning in, clinging to every word."I have looked into the matter," he said, "and learned that Ronan Morosov was targeted by the Marakatim group. When the young woman they placed near him sought shelter at his home, Ronan followed protocol, filling out a detention form to have her placed in law

209 Progress

RonanThe celebration at the base was in full swing. After watching the head of state’s broadcast, I should have felt pure relief, but there was an odd emptiness in my chest, a strange sense of something missing. Still, the realisation that I could finally go home filled me with a surge of joy. After all, this was what we had fought for.Fredrick approached me, holding a glass of whiskey. It was a drink I had come to enjoy during our time together. Vodka had always been my choice, but now, it seemed I had developed a taste for something new.He smiled warmly as he held out the glass, and we clinked them together in a quiet gesture of victory. There was a shared understanding in that moment, an unspoken acknowledgement of everything we had endured to get here. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me—trusting Fredrick had been the right decision, and now, thanks to him, we were no longer fugitives. We could go home, and that thought alone lifted a huge weight off my shoulders, though I k

210 Before We Leave

Ronan"Fredrick showed me the pictures this morning," Erin said with a chuckle. "Apparently, he went through your phone when it was confiscated. I didn’t even think to look. Maybe I should’ve, but I’m terrible at snooping."I couldn’t help but laugh. "That just shows you’ve got discipline."Erin nodded, a grin forming on his face. "So, when are we heading home?"“The day after tomorrow,” he said, his tone softening. "I’d like to spend tonight with Olivia and have all day tomorrow with her, too."I understood completely. "Then we’d better head back tonight," I said, smiling at him.Just then, Joseph walked up to us, overhearing the conversation. "Yes, indeed. I still have to win Olivia that famous peach cobbler," he said with a wink, and we all laughed, remembering how Olivia had always tried to set us up with her friends."I must’ve missed a lot while I was away," Marc chimed in, joining our group.I shook my head, grinning. "Oh, just some Belvarian women who thought we were charming.
