I continue to scan the room, taking in the atmosphere and the conversations taking place. 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

Love is in the air - single chapterHazelIt's late, there's only me and Hailey chatting on the deck, I take a bottle of champagne for her and a juice for me. We've always been confidant sisters. 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. " She giggles. "Then when we went to pick up the parcels today, we talked a lot. I stopped at a window to look at some clothes and he p

Finally, LondonJonIt's Monday morning. The year is almost over and a certain winter is beginning to arrive in the Middle East. The temperature today is around 26 degrees, a pleasant temperature. I realize that I'm getting married in December in a very cold London. Maybe it could be prettier, but it's definitely not the best time of year to plan a wedding. However, we don't have time. I don't want to give rise to multiple interpretations of Hazel's pregnant belly at our wedding. I know that the English tabloids love to pick on people with money and I don't want to give them any ammunition.We take Hellen and Hailey to the airport. I notice Hailey talking to Alex separately and they hug. Ah, my secret agent has fallen into the dancer doctor's trap! I give a hidden smile that only Hazel sees. Hellen comes to hug me."Son, do you promise not to be long with this building?”"I promise, Mom. I'll do my best to leave as

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

My mother and sister are returning to London today, and I want to enjoy their presence as much as possible.When I arrive at their bedroom door, I see them talking. They've already packed the only suitcase that's coming back with them, and the rest of their things are already in the apartment for when they return to live in Dubai. I hope my mother's treatment isn't too long. 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. Hailey smiles sympathetically."My sister, I know you're a whiner, but these hormones are making you so sensible.""I'm terrible." I say through my tears, "How long am I going to be like this?"My daughter, your body will soon get used to it. The first few months are just like that. I also got nauseous a lot in the first few months when I was

Thankfully, I'll have plenty to occupy myself with.LondonA week later, Jonathan and I arrive in a cold London, very different from Dubai, and winter hasn't arrived yet. I'm happy to know that I'm going to meet Jonathan's sister, Sophia, but I'm not happy to know that their mother will be there too. Even though I'm better from the motion sickness, I still feel the constant mood swings. There's nothing I can do about it; I just hope for the best and that I don't get caught in a difficult moment. I don't want any more friction with Mrs. Olivia.Catherine, her sister's five-year-old daughter, is a beautiful l

The Kensington DungeonJonAs soon as we enter the house, Hazel is startled by the size of the Turner mansion. Some of the staff line up to see it. The house is all white, in Victorian style, and that’s something I didn’t want to mess with. An engineer or contractor doesn’t always want to touch your house out of sheer daring. Some memories of an old house need to be preserved, the architecture is fascinating.Hazel's eyes widen as she takes in the grandeur of the mansion. The intricate details of the Victorian architecture leave her in awe. She can't help but imagine the history that this house holds, and the stories it could tell if its walls could talk.I lead her through the foyer, and the polished marble floors echo with their footsteps. The house is not just large; it's a palace of sorts. Hazel can hardly believe that she's standing in such a majestic place, and it feels surreal."Wow, Jonathan, th

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 choicesabout the wedding, although hehasalready said that I can choose whateverI 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.”“Aziz was a kind of cupid fo

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
