Hazel
We spent the whole afternoon in the bedroom making love. Jonathan doesn't want to risk any adventures and is more romantic in every attitude with me. It makes me think about how long I'll be in London away from him, with my hormones going through the roof. It won't be easy. Thankfully, I'll have plenty to occupy myself with.
London
A 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

PreparationsHazelJonathan 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 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

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

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
