Celebrations and secrets part 1

Hazel

Jonathan and I had a wonderful moment last night. I never thought he could do something like that. He fought for me! I made some mistakes in the beginning. I took wrong decisions, tried to run away from him and from what I felt. On the other hand, he knew for sure that he wanted me, but we were both afraid of something similar. We were both afraid to love and not be respected. Me?! I was afraid of not being respected for what I do for a living, for my profession, and Jonathan... Well, I think he was afraid of not being respected as a real man, who can love, has true feelings, and can suffer like any human being. I think he was afraid of not being seen as a normal human because a lot of women only look at how much a man has in his bank account. But I am really happy now! I think nothing can tear us apart anymore.

It was unforgettable night. An unexpected apology, an engagement ring back on my finger, the announcement that we're going to be parents

The anticipation, excitement, and nervousness of my upcoming marriage begin to surface. Each delicate stitch and intricate embroidery on the dress seems to mirror the complexities of love and commitment.The strapless design accentuates my shoulders, while the slightly rounded neckline adds a touch of elegance. The sky blue fabric underneath creates a serene backdrop for the white embroidered roses and leaves adorning the top. In bright light, the color appears ethereal, almost like a pure white, but in darker settings, it transforms into a deeper, more mesmerizing shade of blue.As I fasten the dress, I notice how it subtly cinches at my waist, accentuating my figure. The pleated skirt cascades down, creating graceful movements with every step. It symbolizes the journey that lies ahead,

    The engagement Part 1JonHazel has a wonderful idea about an engagement reception right here in Dubai. She wants her sister and mother to share this moment with her before they return to London. I agree. I think it will even be a triple celebration, being the only contractor on the D site, the engagement and Hazel's pregnancy.I'll contact the company that made the tablecloth with gold thread embroidery and ask them to make something really pretty, with our initials on the fabric. Hazel is so busy these days that I can hardly kiss her.The day before our engagement reception, I receive a frightening message from Alex. Both Rafiq Al-Madini and Hamza Saad have been found shot dead. I immediately leave the office, locking up in complete terror. Alex is at home.

The soft music playing in the background adds to the ambiance, creating a soothing and relaxed environment. I notice the guests mingling and enjoying themselves, their laughter filling the room.Suddenly, my attention is drawn back to Alex at the front door. He is meticulously checking each guest's name, ensuring that only those on the guest list are allowed entry. I can't help but feel a sense of embarrassment, realizing that I should have taken care of this task myself. If only I had organized the event in London, where the guest list would have been handled by professionals.Despite my momentary lapse in judgment, I can't deny the beauty of the evening. The attention to detail, from the carefully chosen tablecloth to the exquisite vase and flower arrangement, showcases a level of sop

In a way, all the difficulties we went through when we were young made us very close. With our clothes changed, we sit down on the steps of the small staircase that leads down to the sand to talk. She asks me about the room, but I insist on hearing about Alex first."Ahh sister, he's hot, isn't he? One day I caught him looking at me differently, so... you know how it is. That day at the nightclub, you went home first, remember? I was a bit emotional about the mess, and he was so attentive that I ended up giving him a hug.""But it happened so quickly?""No, nothing had happened yet, just the exchange of glances, the smiles, hands touching, that sort of thing.

These images were a testament to the countless hours she had spent researching and planning every detail of her dream wedding. They weren't just photos; they were fragments of her heart's desires.As she flipped through the pages, she saw the enchanting images that had captured her imagination. There were photographs of idyllic outdoor venues, nestled beneath ancient oaks or perched on a hillside with panoramic views. She had imagined herself walking down those dreamy, sun-kissed aisles surrounded by the beauty of nature.Next, there were snapshots of bouquets, each a stunning work of floral ar

I'm sure I will need all the help I can get to raise my son here until the work on Jonathan's company is finished.I go into the room and hug them, there's already an atmosphere of farewell in the air, and I cry.

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

Of course, it’s not exactly a vacation, as little Jason needs a lot of attention in his first few days of life.

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

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
