Training the Infant.

Diana was still standing next to Michael Friedman, the sole heir – the infant who was clinging to her tightly, his only hope being to lick her breasts and suck her n*****s. Diana was laughing as she stood there. This infant was the heir to America's richest billionaire. What could she do? Opportunities like this don't come round often. Diana began searching through Friedman's papers and belongings; there was nothing of interest except for a large notebook. She started reading it; the whole thing was a description of Friedman's mother, along with several photos of her. Indeed, she looked a great deal like Diana. Diana began to notice her hairstyle, the make-up she wore—every detail. Then she began reading the notebook, in which Friedman described his relationship with his mother, how she treated him, how she rewarded him – everything. Finally, she put it down and walked away.

Diana returned to Veronica and Isabella, who were blasting loud music and dancing hysterically, naked. Diana looked at them and said, 'You whores, what on earth is this?' Veronica looked at her and said, 'You slut, we're enjoying this royal holiday before going back to that boring, bloody, bloody job. And you were late all this time with Friedman – why? Does he have more than one c**k?' Diana smiled and sat down to tell them about the previous night—how this heir had been behaving like a child no older than four—and she told them the story of his mother and of Friedman's hatred for Edward's grandmother. As she was speaking, there was a knock at the door; she thought it was the hotel waiter, but it was Friedman standing there, on the verge of tears.

Friedman stood motionless outside the hotel room, his feet refusing to take another step. The door was slightly ajar, and through the narrow opening he saw Diana sitting by the window, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. The fading light flowed gently across her hair and face, wrapping her in a quiet radiance that made her seem like a dream brought to life.

He stood there in silence, trying to memorize every detail of her, afraid that if he looked away, even for a moment, she might disappear forever. It was not only Diana's beauty that had captured his heart. There was something deeply familiar about her—the striking resemblance to his mother. The same gentle eyes that had once made him feel safe as a child, the same warm smile that had driven away every fear. Yet he did not love her because she reminded him of his mother. He loved her because she was Diana—the woman who had awakened his heart after years of loneliness and given meaning to a life that had long felt empty.

He took a slow breath, but the air felt unbearably heavy in his chest. He was afraid to enter, fearing she might leave, yet even more afraid to remain where he was and lose her forever.

With trembling fingers, he gently pushed the door open.

Diana turned toward him.

The moment their eyes met, time itself seemed to stand still. Neither of them spoke. Their silence carried more truth than words ever could.

He walked toward her slowly, every step feeling like a promise carved into his soul. When he finally stood before her, his lips trembled before his voice emerged, raw with emotion.

"Diana... please... don't leave."

The words were barely above a whisper, yet they came from the deepest part of a heart exhausted by loss.

Looking into her eyes, his own glistening with tears, he continued.

"Please don't leave me to face this world alone again. Since the day I met you, I realized that life could still perform miracles... and you are my miracle."

A gentle silence settled between them before he spoke again, this time with quiet determination.

"I promise you... I'll do anything for you. Anything. I'll fight the whole world if it stands between us. I'll rebuild my life from the ground up if that's what it takes to be by your side. I don't want wealth. I don't want power. I don't want glory. The only thing I want is to wake up every morning and find you beside me."

Diana's fingers trembled as she looked into his eyes. She did not see a man begging for love. She saw a soul terrified of losing its last hope.

Slowly, she stepped closer until only a breath separated them. She gently raised her hand, caressed his cheek, and wiped away a tear that had escaped without him even noticing.

A tender smile touched her lips, filled with warmth and longing.

"Friedman... I have never met a man who loves with such honesty. I used to believe love was nothing more than beautiful words, but you have shown me that love is action, heartbeat, and soul."

He lowered his head for a moment, as though her words had rescued him from drowning, then looked back into her eyes.

She took both of his hands in hers and whispered softly,

"I can't promise you that life will always be easy. But I can promise you this... I will never run away from a heart that chose me with such sincerity. If destiny has brought us together, then I will fight beside you, never against you."

In that moment, the hotel room ceased to be just another room in a crowded city. It became a world of its own, a place where two hearts had finally found where they belonged.

Friedman wrapped her gently in his arms, as though every fear he had carried for years melted away in that embrace. Closing his eyes, he whispered near her ear,

"Only now... do I finally feel alive."

Diana closed her eyes as well, surrendering to the warmth of his embrace while the sun slowly disappeared beyond the window, leaving behind its final golden rays—as if blessing the beginning of a love story written first in devotion, and only then in words.

Diana asked Friedman to go to his room; they were to meet tomorrow morning. Friedman left; Diana closed the door. Veronica and Isabella were in fits of hysterical laughter. Diana looked at them and said, 'Sluts.' Veronica looked at her and said, 'Oh, you saint, did you like that baby?' "And his long c**k?" Diana looked at her and said, "You think of nothing but your own pleasure. Yes, I loved him—I loved his money, his grandfather, and the fortune he'll inherit. As for loving men, there's no room for that in my heart, you slut."
