The paradise is called Jonathan Turner Part 2 HAZEL I know I'm running away, again. But this time it wasn't me who ran, it was once again a red light like a warning, because I know my love stories always end the same. Am I seeing things that don't exist? Imagining that there's something giving warning signs for me to stop? I see Olivia entering the kitchen, but I don't follow her; I need to take a breath and so I pause for a moment in the living room, lost in thought. Actually... It's the second time this woman has interrupted us! First, the call from London on barbecue day, and now this. Coming from her, I better reconsider whether it was the interference of fate or if there's something supernatural coming from this woman that stops me from surrendering and having her son. I remember the day of the dinner when I put on, somewhat impulsively, the Greek eye talisman my mother gave me. Was it intuitive? I surprise myself with what I'm thinking! Could she be a witch? Gosh, I'm probably
A small blingefor a big problemJonAhmet calls me and I know that Hazel or my mother has actually asked him to see where dear Jonathan is. Irony. I'm a big credit card for these women. It doesn't matter if it's my mother or Hazel. I'm worth no more to them than that. That's why they want to control my every move. There's no love in this world, as I've just seen. That's why my relationships boil down to mere domination. I can give love, but nobody wants it. They just want the contracts and the money. Who was I kidding? Myself? I ask the waiter for another shot of whisky. Today I want to give my liver a good workout... Maybe there won't be anything left to regret later.Ahmet arrives after a few shots. I'm high, not too drunk. I'm very tolerant of alcohol and it makes me numb to life's bullshit, but it doesn't make me forget that a little while ago I was going to have sex with the hottest girl I've ever met. And that goes for her
THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT PART 1 HAZEL I set my phone's clock to wake me up quietly, so I wouldn't lose track of time. Jonathan is still sleeping next to me, in a deep slumber. I don't intend to wake him after this tumultuous night; he definitely needs rest. After yesterday's conversation, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, but at the same time, I feel bad for knowing that I could have acted differently. I should have shared my whole story a long time ago, and most likely, his actions would have been different. If he really knew me better before, but... well, it's not anyone's fault. We didn't make this agreement to get to know each other, and which of us could have imagined that we'd feel something more than horniness? And I know that there really is more to it than that. I missed the timing* of the game. I'm rusty! I don't know how to play anymore. If I ever did. I had a boxing teacher who told me that my mistake
THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT PART 2 HAZEL Even Hungry, I decide to wait for Olivia to have lunch with her. A short while later, she appears in the kitchen, where I'm having a conversation with Nadia. "Ms. Olivia, would you like some company for lunch?" I ask. "I'm not so well, that breakfast wasn't good." "I don't think that chocolate pie was such a good idea in this heat. It was ..." "Come on," as usual, she interrupts me, "that's not what was wrong with me. It doesn't matter, I just want a salad. Nadia, make a tuna and leaf salad and bring it to me in my room, please. And a juice." "Any preference, ma'am?" "Whatever you have."I look at Nadia and raise my eyebrows while my lips form a sad smile, one typical of a child. She doesn't seem to mind the way Olivia treats her at all. This thought stays in my mind for a while. People’s temperaments and their reactions to others have a mu
The almost disastrous dinner Part 1JonIt's late at night when I come home from work to hear a loud argument coming from my room. No way! More trouble? As I enter my room, I take off my tie and can clearly hear what Hazel and Olivia are saying to each other." Work? I know what your job is. Your job is to find a rich man to lean on. To take his money!”Listening to this nonsense, which I am fully aware is a lie, I go into the closet and catch the discussion." Not at all! I work and I have my own money! I've never needed a man to support me. If my work bothers you, I'm sorry, but at least I'll never be a mother who expects my son to work like crazy, without the right to a life of his own just to support my family name, as you want from your son, Mrs. Turner!”Uhhh, Olivia, you didn't expect that! What a right punch! Hazel is right, but I love my job." Jonathan, my son! Did you hear what she called me? Did you know all this?”"Mommy, let's go to your room and try to calm down, Hazel'
The almost disastrous dinner Part 2I hear notifications arrive on my cell phone. It's Aziz.You're going to the home of the Emir of Dubai Sheik Mohammed, but don't forget that it's President Sheik Khalifa Bin Zayed who's in charge now. It's very polite to greet everyone, are you aware of all this, Jonathan?I notice out of the corner of my eye that Hazel is discreetly trying to see the display on her cell phone. I don't intend to hide it and I explain what Aziz has just sent. I reply to him.Meet me at the door. I can't recognize who Khalifa Bin Zayed is by face. If it's possible, my dear...Yes, that's fine, I don't want my nominees looking bad, I'll wait for you.Perfect. I go back to the place indicated on the GPS. The castle is in the southern part of Dubai and very difficult to find. I've heard that ordinary people can't enter the palace unless they're invited. I
FAKE ENGAGEMENT, REAL PASSION PART 1HAZEL Locked in Jonathan's room, lying on that bed covered with a black velvet quilt, I try to make sense of what happened. How could I have imagined that a stranger would recognize me on the street because of Instagram? I shouldn't have said those things to Olivia, I know that well. But, at that point, it would be useless to try to stay in the role of a fake fiancée in love. It wouldn't have mattered to say that I don't dance anymore, that I stopped at Jonathan's request—she would still think I'm a gold digger. But I can't stand people's prejudice anymore. People who don't understand my way of living and being happy.I stand up and look around the room. I run my hands over the strange things Jonathan has there. I don't know the names of his exotic toys, and there are some things I've never seen even in a sex shop. I also don't understand his lifestyle. Maybe I had a romanticized view because of the movie, bu
FAKE ENGAGEMENT, REAL PASSION PART 2HAZELDuring the journey to the dinner, I can hardly enjoy the view. The only thing that crosses my mind is that Jonathan has changed with me, and I don't know exactly why. I see Jonathan reading a message on his phone, and I try to see who it is, hoping it's not that crazy woman who comes here looking for Jonathan. But he explains that it's Aziz.“Message from Aziz. He says we're going to Sheik Mohammed's house, Emir of Dubai, but not to forget that it's President Sheik Khalifa Bin Zayed who rules and that we should greet everyone.”I think of mentioning that I did some research on them to know who and how they are, but the words just won't come out. I hope that when I get there, I can feel less sad. At least I must admit that it's not so bad to get out of the situation I was in—being locked inside the house for several days without a normal life, and suddenly I'm at a dinner at an Arab Sheik's house! Jonathan briefs me on how to behave there and
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
