The choices we makeHazelSitting on the couch at Jonathan's house, I know I'm acting childish and sulky, but I can't control myself. I've never been one to complain much about the difficulties of life, always fought for everything I wanted, but I've had to fight so much for my professional choice that I always overreact, and I just got scolded because I was talking too loud. I wish I could say I didn't want to react like this, but no words come out of my mouth. He is ready to leave the room, saying he is going to get some clothes for me."You can choose three more guest rooms to sleep in. You won't be bothered at all. You have my word. All I ask is that you get to know the house better before your mother arrives here."He leaves. He's definitely angry with me. And I'm angry with the world. I can't even reflect on everything I've just seen in his house. All the curiosity about the mysterious room, about the instruments he
FeelingsJonWe have a quick cup of pure, strong coffee with whatever Hazel has found in the fridge and then we leave the house. On the way to work, I ask Ahmet to drop Hazel off at home, but not before stopping at a gym called Bodyfit.-See there? Sometimes, when work leaves me, I come and punch a few punching bags to de-stress. You can even put my picture up if you like. I won't get angry.I smile, blinking my eyes several times.- Ridiculous, Jonathan.I ask him to pick up his cell phone. There are things Ahmet shouldn't hear, it's better to type. Hazel understands and opens her messaging app. I type.My mom wants to come to town, I'd better be at my house right away, get everything ready for us to move this week.She looks at me with wide eyes. I wonder what's going on in her head. Mothers are mothers. They suspect everything and even know everything, even if we don't know it yet. It's better that my mother doesn't know eve
In the Claws of a SeducerHazel"I love you? I love you?"That was all you managed to say at that moment, hastily, to Jonathan, Hazel? I could have thought of so many words, so many things, but all I could say was "I love you," and I feel like it provoked some kind of reaction in him. He must have found me ridiculous for that. I can give rude answers when necessary. Especially when I am angry, it seems that words come out faster than my thoughts, but when it comes to lying... I'm terrible! My spontaneous reactions always put me in trouble. As for all the things I saw in his room... I don't even know how to react. They make me curious, but they also give me shivers, and Jonathan must have noticed that, crystal clear. I cannot forget that he is a dominant man. What do I know about erotic dominance games? Practically nothing. Am I in one now? I've been in dominance games of a different nature before, and it wasn't p
The consolling solitudeJonThe week begins with the investigation into the worker's accident. Unfortunately Hamza Saad is there to make everything more boring. I've already called the hospital and learned that Omar, the worker, was fine. I'm on the building's huge construction site when Hamza approaches me. The wind is blowing hard because of that space. He's smoking a cigar that I don't know how it hasn't dissolved completely in the strong afternoon wind.”Jonathan, this is a setback that takes days away from the original project.’”I know, believe me, I know more than anyone.””Not more than anyone, I'm with two construction companies herefor a long time. You were here the day it happened, I hope that doesn't fall on your CV.”He flashes a fake, yellow smile.How can someone with so much money have yellow teeth like that? I know exactly what this bastard me
Changes are necessaryHazelIn a few days I'll be at Jonathan's house. I don't feel like packing at all. I've barely had time to enjoy my apartment and I'm already moving. I'm starting with the hardest part, which is getting my things out. I'll leave the best part for tomorrow, which is tidying up and decorating everything with the things I've bought, as well as the pots and pans I've already put away. It's a good thing I got two boxes from a nearby market to help me organize.There's not much to move. At first I thought I'd have a lot of suitcases because, as well as the work clothes I brought from London, I've bought some others here. That's part of the huge debt I've taken on.How can you not fall in love with these beautiful clothes?It's not just about the fabric or the good tailoring, but the way they fit our bodies and dance with us, enhance and give fluidity to our movements and sparkl
ProblemJonI wake up on Tuesday to Hazel's cell phone ringing. I turn over in bed, naked as I like to sleep, and answer it. I've put a ringtone specifically for her on my phone, it's an Elvis song, quite sexy actually, called "Trouble".TroubleIf you're looking for troubleYou've come to the right placeIf you're looking for troubleJust face meI was born standingAnd fighting backMy father was a mountain man with green eyesCause I'm bad, my middle name is sufferingWell I'm bad, so don't mess with meI never looked for troubleBut I never ran awayI don't take ordersFrom any kind of manI'm just madeOf flesh, blood and bone
A Starry Sky of New PossibilitiesHazelTuesday finally arrives, and I wake up very early, already excited to call Jonathan. I remember he had mentioned he would have a few days off from work, making this the perfect time to be with him without disrupting his routine.Before calling him, I checked the entire apartment to make sure everything was in order and safe. I've already informed the doorman about my absence, leaving my contact number and Jonathan's as well, my fiancé. I even took a short drive in my old car since it's going to be parked for a while. Yesterday, I made some notes about things I still need to handle, unrelated to the move, such as my visa, some contracts, and another note with all the questions I have about our relationship to discuss with Jonathan. The list is not short. Finally, I call him."Did you fall out of bed, baby?" I check the time; it's still early, and I've already done so much! I ask if
The best bride-friendJonI knew my mother was going to make my life hell, and I wasn't worried for nothing. But she manages to exceed my expectations and is already starting to annoy me even before she arrives.While I'm talking to her on the phone, I notice Hazel standing in the dark staring at me. Nadia has politely moved away, a clear indication that she doesn't want to overhear the conversation and intrude. I can't cope with all the information around me, so I answer my mother half-automatically:- Okay, Mom. Yes, I understand. No, no problem. ... Yes, it's late here - I look at my watch and realize it's almost midnight - but no problem, you were right to call. I'll contact you again tomorrow. Okay. Good night, ma'am.At least her call wasn't so pointless, I have to admit. There had been a change in her departure and arrival times and I really needed to know. She just didn't need to tell
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
