A contract in Dubai The Lion of Dubai part 2
The Lion of Dubai part 2JonThe men waiting for me seem uneasy, understandably so. I pass by them without paying attention to the chatter, stop in front of the office door, and after opening it, I look at each of their faces seriously until they fall silent. I am taking full responsibility for this project, and I know I am capable, and anyone who doubts will be asked to leave. It's time to show my true strength.I enter calmly and have them take their seats."Mr. Turner, when are we going back to work?" Asks one of the engineers. "I hope today." And a buzz begins again. Alex accompanies me and stands behind my chair."Mr. Turner, we've come..." says one of the men in the turban, while others try to speak together. "Please, gentlemen! Let's talk calmly, one at a time, and let's solve all the problems." "We've heard that Mr. Saad has left the country, is there a health emergency?" "Yes!" hurries Alex. "Mr. Saad ended up in

And everything changes in the blink of an eye Hazel Already at home, Jonathan helps my mother and sister leave their belongings in the bedroom. He stays with us for a while, just long enough to show them the place, then he goes off to our room. I make my mother and sister sit at the dining table while I insist on serving them. I watch my mother take some vitamins. "My daughter, you look so beautiful, you seem more radiant now than when you were happily dancing. Are you in love with this man enough to get married?" "Yes, mom, yes.” I say excitedly. "I know I said I didn't care about anyone or any relationship, but it was all very unexpected.”"Look," Hailey confess, "we didn’t really bought this story about you taking a break from dancing because of your knee." "That's true." My mother confirms. "I was afraid of him interfering in your life like others did. I don't want to see you suffer like that anymore." "But I didn't make

Fool's gold Jon I wake up to the shrill sound of my cell phone on the bedside table. Hazel is not by my side. I'm startled. I answer my cell phone, alarmed. "Sir, Hazel is at a nightclub; I'm with her, we're after her sister." "What? How could she leave without telling me?! Tell me the name of the place!" "Sir, I owed you an explanation, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you go, please!" "Alex, I appreciate your concern, but some things you can't stop me from doing! Name of the place?" He takes a while to answer. "It's called Rubi, it's a nightclub." I turn off my cell phone, and I know that Alex will be very angry with me, but there's no other way. I need to know what this little sister is thinking she is going to do in Dubai. I put on jeans, a black shirt and sneakers and head to one of the parked cars. I knock hard on the glass door. "Hey!" The two men ins

When love and hate collideHazel Unfaithful, greedy, just another woman who only thinks about money... What am I to Jonathan?! How could he say those things about me?! How can he not believe in me?! I get away from him, upset. I just need to get away from that place, from that loud noise, and from all that mess! I can't believe what just happened to us. Jonathan should have only protected me! Outside the nightclub, I feel lost. I find myself wandering around aimlessly, I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go. I can't believe the nightmare I'm living! Tears soak my face, and I feel like running away, disappearing. I walk through the parking lot of the nightclub towards a construction site next door. I don't want anyone to see me like this. I can't walk the streets like this. I hear Hailey calling me several times in vain. I am so angry with her. I feel angry at Jonathan for not believing me. For not protecting me from that m

Discovering loveJonI'm discharged from hospital.I put on a shirt and jeans from the night before. Nadia is waiting for me. It's amazing that only the cook is waiting for me. What a fucking life I lead... What's the point of all this money?"Good afternoon, sir.”"Good afternoon, Nadia.”"Are you feeling better?”"Like crap”"It'll get better, I'll make you some soup, do you like it?”"Hmmm, no. "I give my first smile after everything.”I spoke to the psychiatrist. I'm not crazy, thank goodness. It was just some kind of post-traumatic stress. I drank too much, but I didn't know it would put my life at risk. I just wanted to numb myself. I'd never drunk so much in my life and never because of a woman. I let myself get too involved, I lost my head and my dominant control and I need to get it back. If I'd staye

My sister has already made it clear that she suspects that all these security guards aren't just a Sheik's precaution.I don't feel like talking about it, all I can think about is Jonathan's health. He drank until he couldn't. The image of the man I love in a hospital bed was scary.I know he doesn't want to see me, but I could never have failed to go there, even if he cursed me.I don't know what I was thinking when I tried to solve the problem with my sister without him.I just wanted to put her in the car and take her home without upsetting Jonathan. I don't think he'll ever believe me. I don't understand why that damned man from the nightclub did what he did, or why he said those absurdities. Maybe he's one of those insane fans who follow me on Instagram and send obscene messages that I never read or reply to. My sister always blocks

I didn't cheat anyone. My conscience is clear. It's Jonathan who has to believe me and.."Suddenly, I feel dizzy. I think I got up too quickly.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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. 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!
