Hazel
Jonathan only came to London for two days. I’ll still have a week here to sort everything out for the wedding. It’s Sunday and there’s not much to do, so we will spend most of the day together. We make some choices about the wedding, although he has already said that I can choose whatever I want. I had already commented on not having a man from the family to walk me down the aisle, and we ended up deciding to invite Aziz. Jonathan’s idea. Well, he was the man who made us meet. Nothing could be more fitting.
“Are you sad about that?” He asks.
“Well, I never dreamed of this moment, to be honest. I’ve never stopped to imagine the details of my wedding. But - I sigh - I was sad about not having anyone to walk me down the aisle. I missed having a father yesterday when I thought about it. But it’s okay.”

Wait for me to come homeJonAs soon as I get back to Dubai, I'll have dinner with Aziz at my house. I have to formally invite him, after all, he was and still is an important person for me to succeed in Dubai, as is Hazel. I tell Nadia that we have an important dinner."What would you like for dinner, sir?" I trust your good taste as I always have.She smiles and leaves. I go to work. Everything is going well with the building work and the second floor is being laid. I look at spreadsheets, bank accounts and the stock exchange. Everything is going perfectly as Turner's accountant had told me. Not everything can be left in the hands of other people and that's exhausting. I double-check everything and start making personal calls. I call the Armani store and make an appointment to choose a suit. I look at the website and make a choice. Just like that. I get a call from my mother."Mrs. Olivia, to whom do I owe the

London - Dubai - London and a celebratory cigar. (part 1)HazelFinally, my flight lands and I’m back in Dubai. I meet Jonathan at the airport, overwhelmed by an intense desire to hug and kiss him deeply, but I know I can’t. I didn’t need to make an effort to remember that I’m back in a land that doesn’t allow this kind of public display of affection, I know very well the rules here, and a romantic kiss in a public place is not allowed.Even with all these rules and restrictions, for some reason greater than the simple desire to make money from my dancing and from my art, I love this city. But I still don’t understand for sure the reason why. There was something intangible that drew me here, an inexplicable connection that I couldn't ignore and, coming back here now, after having visit my hometown of London, makes me realize that.It’s not just that because I’m returning to the arms of my beloved, but there’s something about this place that increases my happiness at being back. Even t

London - Dubai - London and a celebratory cigar. (part 2)HazelJonathan will spend his days working harder than ever. And I’m taking the opportunity to catch up on some unfinished business. I have to visit my apartment to check everything, call Carmen, and arrange a meeting to deliver the wedding invitation. When I call her and start telling her about the past few days, there's so much to share that she asks to meet her today.I arrange a time and tell Jonathan that I have to go out and that I need Ahmet and some security.A few days ago, Jonathan informed me about that man from Hamza who grabbed me in the nightclub and assured me that everything had already been sorted out. But I still have to go out with Alex or some other security guard. I’m not sure how this entire story ended, some details I might not even want to know. A person, no matter how powerful, can’t get into trouble with the president, or in this case the Emir, of a country and think they’ll get away with it. The fact

When Hazel stirs and asks the doctor to look again to see if he can tell the sex of the baby, he speaks loud and clear."It's a boy!”I jump out of my chair with my fists clenched in celebration. It's a boy! My baby boy!"Yeah! Yeah!" I can hardly contain myself."A boy, love!”Hazel cries and I confess that I'm almost crying too, after all, it's not every day that you get news like this."Congratulations to you both. A healthy baby boy! As soon as I send you the printed results of the ultrasound, I'll choosethe probable date of delivery.”I'm very grateful to this gynecologist and obstetrician, but my son will be born in London. He'll be an Englishman like his mother and father. And we can't fail there.When we returned to Dubai, I found Hazel's gesture of handing out wedding invitations to Alex a

Happiness Part 2Jon" I'm listening.”"How are you? Can we talk?”" You're already talking.”"Jonathan, please, let's go outside. I need to tell you something.”I turn away from Hazel, who is engrossed in capturing moments with her godmothers and friends. Shaking my head, I signal to her that I'm going to approach my father. Stepping outside, a chill embraces me, one that I haven't experienced in months since leaving Dubai. It's a familiar cold, reminiscent of London, a weather I've never been particularly fond of."Son.”I look at him and see that the hot air he expels from his lungs turns to smoke in the air very quickly."Say.”"We've only spoken briefly over the years because of the company. You're always so dry.”I take my hand out of my pocket, even though it's cold, and open and close my fingers i

Shackled forever... and beyond part 1Hazel My wedding day has finally arrived. I haven’t even got out of bed yet and I am already nervous. In fact, I didn’t sleep very well; it was a troubled sleep. Jonathan stirs beside me, still lost in the peaceful embrace of sleep. I envy his calmness, as I remember how rushed the last few days in London have been. Final fittings, confirming the timetable with the church, the wedding hall and the buffet. The day of the cake tasting and the chosen sweets and snacks was a funny day. Me, my mother Hellen, Hailey, and even Olivia were all starving. We had just left the dress fitting and hadn’t had time for lunch, so everything tasted delicious. We devoured all the samples. Dana, our trusted wedding planner, had worked tirelessly to confirm all the services we had booked. Photographer, film crew, manicurists, make-up artists and hairdressers, and even a well-deserved massage session.Before the final preparation

Shackled forever... and beyond part 2HazelI stop at the door, waiting for the music to start playing. It was Jonathan who chose it and I don’t know what to expect. Sophia comes rushing from the altar with the wedding rings in her hand and stops in front of me to let us in.“Hi Auntie, you look very, very beautiful.”“Thank you, and you look like a beautiful princess.”I see Jonathan standing at the altar waiting for me. My heart starts racing. The music starts and I’m surprised to see that it’s live, not a recording. I immediately recognize the chords of the guitar. “Potograph” by Ed Sheeran! A shiver runs down the back of my neck. I know the song well, and Jonathan choosing it is like a beautiful declaration of love. Of the power that our love has taken on in our lives, changing us completely.“Loving can heal, love can mend your soul”I know for sure that my love has healed many wounds in Jonathan and his love for me has healed so many other fears and hurts that I thought wou

A beautiful party... and Capri.JonThe room Hazel chose at the Four Seasons is very beautiful. When we arrive, I get the impression that everything is very white, and it is. The chairs are covered in white with a bow behind the backrest. On the tables there are large silver vases of white flowers from which a new arrangement of different types of white flowers comes out. There are silver goblets, glasses, plates and cutlery. Amber chandeliers hang from the ceiling and the walls are wood"colored and covered in wood. It's too beautiful.I talk to a few people and in the meantime my father reappears. He's so emotional that he doesn't look like the same man who hurt me so much in the past. Maybe something has hurt him enough to change?"Son, I have to say, your wife is very beautiful... and your wedding was a dream. You could only marry a woman like that.I put my hand on his shoulder."Dad, why are you a

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

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.

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

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.
