Chapter 9
A million dirhams for your thoughts
Jon
The table is set for the two of us. Obviously, my spot is reserved. I've had a permanent place at Atmosphere since I arrived, after all, a man who pays in cash is always welcome.. They always offer me card machines to make my life easier, but in reality, few things make me use credit cards. I like to control the money going out and coming in. Much more of it is going out, and that's one of the reasons why I prefer to use my dirhams*.
Atmosphere is a beautiful restaurant on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. Everything in Dubai is extravagant, as desired by the Sheikh. Restaurants are no different. It offers a panoramic view of the entire city and a decor that blends bold design with the antiquated. Wooden tables and leather-upholstered seats, but the ceiling with beams resembling golden steel. A very nice place to take a very beautiful woman like her. I help her descend the stairs, and she seems to be en
chapter 10AuthenticityHazelStanding in the Atmosphere lounge, I try to appreciate the beautiful city view. The buildings, predominantly illuminated with white and blue lights, blink in a way that makes it seem like they're dancing. Dancing. Did he really say I won't be able to dance anymore? I even argued from a financial point of view. But dancing, to me, is much more than just paying the bills. Without dancing, I'll become like the view from above in the middle of a blackout. The city is there, but no one sees it; it doesn't shine anymore. I let out a sigh.I look back and see if Jonathan, who had gone to pay the bill, has returned to pick me up. He led me to the lounge, saying the view was even more beautiful. He's a smart man and preempted so I wouldn't back out. Now my bills are paid, I own an apartment that can comfortably accommodate my mother and sister. Being innocent, I thought I'd have more negotiating power... Jonathan walks towards the lounge in my direction. An older
Unexpected VisitJonThat little quip delivered at the right moment would surely make her want to smash a potted plant over my head. I chuckle softly; it's fun to tease Hazel because she actually takes it seriously. Fat... she's the sexiest woman I've ever seen. And I can say that confidently, I know a few genuinely beautiful women who are as natural as she is. I glance at her silhouette in the rearview mirror, already fading into the distance. That apartment is perfect for tourists. It has a beautiful architecture, and if I'm not mistaken, I know who designed it. I've had my eye on Dubai for years. This is the project of a lifetime. Despite having succeeded in other ventures, the best ones gain even more visibility when the construction company achieves something significant in Dubai. Aziz will be there in a meeting tomorrow. He'll probably ask about Hazel. Thankfully, I've already presented my contract proposal to her. Well, it's not exactly a contract, altho
Hazel's ApartmentHazelDespite having been in Dubai for a few months now, I still have a bit of difficulty adjusting to the time zone difference. It's already past 9 in the morning here, which would be 6 in the morning in London. With a profession that's primarily nocturnal, I've long acquired the habit of staying up late. I remember that in the first few weeks after arriving in Dubai, I had a strong inclination to work late into the night at the bars I had contracts with. When the performances were mainly at bars, alongside the girls who came here around the same time as I did, there was no issue with waking up late. I recall that sometimes we would all leave work together still full of energy, and sometimes we'd go to sleep after 2 in the morning and only wake up past 10. That was the time when we shared an apartment. It was fun. But I needed a place of my own to welcome my mother and later my sister, who is still in medical school.To earn more money, workin
Chapter 12 The most gorgeous spender in Dubai Part 1 Jon I receive a notification on my phone at noon the next day. New credit card statement: $3,750. I'm at the construction site of the new project, having coffee after lunch. I choke on the amount Hazel spent. It takes me a while to get back to my senses. By Allah! Over 3 thousand dollars for a dress? I had sent her a card through the driver and didn't think she could reach the limit I set on the card, which was $5,000. I know Dubai is expensive, but Gucci? Couldn't she have chosen a less expensive store?! I press the keys on my phone to call her as I watch the men start working. I remove my safety helmet to speak on the phone. "Hello, Jonathan, I was thinking about you!" She has the audacity to say she was thinking about me?! Of course she was thinking about me, she spent almost the entire card, I must look like an idiot to her! "Thinking about me, Hazel? Thinking what,

CHAPTER 13FamilyHazelSaturday arrived in a blink of an eye. The day is beautiful, and since I don't have any important commitment today, I've canceled almost anything else. I'm taking the opportunity to stroll through the streets of Jumeirah Village Circle. It's truly a good place to live. I hadn't had the chance to explore the area more thoroughly. Today, I've decided to take the morning to walk leisurely; I don't intend to exercise, just enjoy the view and observe people and the shops.This has been the most unusual week I've experienced since arriving in Dubai. Aside from the day Aziz chased me in his car through the city streets, what a lunatic! These last few days have been quite eventful.Carmen is right; I should treat this time like a vacation. Months of long and endless work, dancing every day, sometimes for more than 4 hours, and having to move from one location to another had been quite stress
CHAPTER 14A funfairJonI'm about to take a shower when I receive a message from Hazel.“Can you come by after work? I need to talk about my apartment.” What made her think I work on Saturdays? Saturday is sacred in the Muslim world. Especially at this hour, 7 PM. I've just finished a call with my future submissive, possibly, and that delightful teaser sends me a message, but I don't even bother answering her. I put on a shirt and think about what to do this Saturday night after finding out what she wants. This time, I put on something lively on the radio as I drive to her apartment. I usually try to listen to rock, and sometimes even classical music, but not tonight. I want to think about her while I head to her place. Jumeirah Village Circle, is not far away from my house, and I arrive in her apartment in less than half an hour. I give my name at the entrance and drive in. As I'm about to knock on t
CHAPTER 15BollywoodHazeI can hardly believe Jonathan invited me for a stroll and agreed to go to an amusement park. He must have been really pleased with how quickly I changed my clothes, oh my! I urgently need to review some of my habits before moving in with him. As Jonathan drives, I browse the park's website on my phone to check out some of the attractions. The park doesn't close late, and it's already 8 in the evening, but there's still plenty of time for us to have fun. I'm glad I can now have a moment of relaxation and even happier because, despite Jonathan's unexpected visit and the fact that none of what I wanted to say to him turned out the way I imagined, he preemptively mentioned that the remaining money I didn't spend was mine, and I didn't have to ask for it. It was a relief, as I had already sent all the money I had saved to my sister, and there is still something missing in that apartment so that I can make it feels
Chapter 2Dangerous gameAndrewAs if all the hustle and bustle of a teaching hospital wasn't enough, I still have to put up with the presence of the beautiful and insufferable Hailey White. I remember as if it were yesterday that we met at the wedding of one of my best friends and became close on the first night. It's hard to imagine myself with another woman at the moment, since I liked Hailey so much. But I'm a complicated man. I carry on my back the centuries-old baggage of a monarchy that should have ceased to exist in Monaco. I'm the prince and I would have to have duties, but my father understood when I decided to step aside to practice medicine. It's one of my passions. And nothing they do there, apart from spending money for nothing, is a passion of mine.Monaco really is beautiful, a warm country between Italy and France, as small as a city, but so clean and beautiful that it leaves London in last place when it comes to beauty and organi
These 2 last chapters are part of the book 2: Impossible love in London, the story of Hazel White and Andrew Grimaldi, a prince of Monaco. Hope you enjoy these first words.Chapter 1Noble intentionsHaileySats at 78 percent.Blood pressure at 10 x 7. The patient is hypotensive and his saturation is not very good. He's an elderly man who arrived at the emergency room with a head injury. Apparently, according to his relatives, he slipped in the bathroom and, without any support bar, fell with all his might. I report to my superior, Andrew. I take a deep breath. I'm tired of this shift. It's been 24 hours."What should you do then, Miss Hailey?" he asks.I'm standing next to two other fellow residents. Dana, who wears a white scarf even inside the hospital, when in fact, the snow is outside. However, if you look closely, the ice is also coming from Andrew's gaze, which makes everything colder. On my other side i
Epilogue part 2After many battles and trials, the White family has gone through many changes and challenges. Each of the three incredible women in this family has had to survive only with the support of the love they have for each other. Although everyday life continually challenged them, they managed to overcome the problems that arose in their lives without much outside help. From time to time, luck smiled unexpectedly on them. Their strength lay in their family's unity, and that's what the facts showed them. But the true strength of a family is most complete when there is a balance between the nurturing power of the woman and the fulfilling and protective strength of the man. Their story is and will be proof of that balance, even if all that balance comes through a bit of confusion, adventure and ... a certain amount of imbalance and chaos. After all, all chaos will be sublimated, sooner or later, by the power of Love!All we need is Love!Jonathan, the strongest expression of the
EPILOGUE part After the birth of Jason White Turner, Hazel and Jonathan enjoy a few days with their family in London. Of course, it’s not exactly a vacation, as little Jason needs a lot of attention in his first few days of life. It’s not advisable to visit the baby too much in the first few days, so Hazel plans to stay in London for a few weeks until the whole family has had a chance to get to know the newest member of the family.Unfortunately, Jonathan can’t stay as his work is important and requires his presence, so he can’t be away for too many days. He returns to Dubai a week later while Hazel still needs to stay, even so that little Jason can travel safely to Dubai, where he will be raised until the work commissioned by Sheik Mohammed Al-Maktoum is finished. The work is progressing successfully, and without any outside interference, but it still has three long years to go. Jonathan remains dedicated to his responsibilities and strives to meet the high expectations set by his e
Nice to meet you, my name is Jason Part 2JonIn the few days off we have between Christmas and New Year's, we take the opportunity to do some sightseeing on our own. Hazel hadn't yet been to the museum of the future, or the parks she was so keen to visit, such as the Miracle Garden and the Butterfly Garden. I confess to myself that I've never had time to visit these places because of all the problems I've had since arriving in this wonderful city. The beauty of these places is immense. In the Butterfly Garden, you can enter and interact with hundreds of butterflies of various species. Everywhere there is a picture of the Sheik. Plants come down from the ceiling and there is a wide range of plants on the floor too. Butterflies are everywhere. When I see that it's just as beautiful as other places we've visited, I pull out my cell phone to take some pictures of my wife interacting with the butterflies. If it had been my eight"year"old self, I
Nice to meet you, my name is Jason Part 1JonI believe Capri is the perfect destination for Hazel to experience the beauty of the Gulf of Naples. One of the highlights of this island is the mesmerizing Blue Grotto, where the sea radiates a stunning blue hue. It's an incredible experience to dive into the cave from one side and emerge from the other.I am genuinely thrilled to show Hazel all the wonders of the world that she may have never even imagined. There are countless things to explore on Capri, and I want to open her eyes to these hidden treasures. Despite any past challenges, I am committed to giving her the opportunity to experience incredible sights she may have only dreamed of.We stayed at the Punta Tragara hotel, in the villa of Tragara, on the island of Capri. I've never been to the hotel, but from the website, it looked beautiful for a honeymoon. Hazel looks at everything, notices everything. It's still early and the architecture and decoration of the place really impre
Unconditional love part 2HazelTime flies and I spend most of my time taking care of my body with light exercises, preparing for the last semester of my pregnancy. The exams are fine, and I’m just reinforcing my health and my son’s with some vitamins recommended by the doctor. The new weight of my body and the natural tiredness of pregnancy make me sleep more than usual. And Jonathan is always careful and delicate when we are having sex. It looks like our dungeon room will be closed for a few more months.Everyone knows that winter, which is already upon us, is the best time to work in Dubai, as the temperature is very mild, around 20 degrees Celsius, and Jonathan’s project is developing in an unexpected way. Of course, it takes a lot of work, but new funding is also driving the project forward. Christmas comes quickly, along with the news of my mother’s cure. The tumor is gone and all that’s left now is to follow up every six months. The recovery of my m
Unconditional love part 1HazelRight after my dance with Jonathan, I ask the women to gather around because I’m going to throw the bouquet. I notice that there aren’t many single women at the party, but my sister is among them. I throw the bouquet and, but it seems I’m very bad at aiming, because as I try to get as close as possible to my sister in the group of women, I end up throwing it too far and accidentally hit a group of men around, who are looking curiously at this ancient ritualistic scene. I witness the bouquet being tossed around like a ticking bomb ready to explode. Eventually, it ends up in Andrew’s hands, the noble prince who has aroused my sister’s interest. Not knowing what to do, he quickly throws it forward into my sister’s hands. I don’t know if he did it intentionally, but he could have thrown it to anyone. I can see people laughing, having fun with the situation, but it’s clear that it left my sister speechless, and out of action. Soon afterwards, Alex appro
A beautiful party....and Capri.JonHazel tries to get the golden lion from my hands."My God, it's heavy, how much must be in there?”He smiles."No idea, Sir”It really is a weighty gift. That piece must be worth 1 million dirhams, which in our currency is about 270,000 eur. It's a good present for someone who isn't from the Emir's family. And they were careful to remember Hazel's spontaneous gesture. Lovely. We took lots of photos with the piece, which will go to our home in London."It's dance time! "Someone shouts.I look at my now"wife and see everyone moving away so we can waltz. But that's not quite what I had in mind. The same music that played at the entrance to the church is the music that starts playing at our party. Hazel opens her mouth."Did you ask for this?"Of course.I pull her up and twirl her around, liste
