Black Water Island.
Chapter Twelve ..
The Hamptons.
The three friends sat in the royal suite; Veronica hadn't stopped talking. She told Diana how they'd spent the previous night, saying, 'We spent the night without you, but it was a wild one,' and she began to recount stories about the hotel and its guests—men of finance and business—and the parties in the hotel lobby, which far surpassed anything that happened in a nightclub. She told her, 'We saw and sat with Mr Bior, the Foreign Office official, yesterday. He came in disguise, but I recognised him. He was completely taken aback when he saw us, as if he were seeing us for the first time. It seems he was with another important figure in disguise too. This man wouldn't stop looking and staring at Isabella. We drank a lot and danced a lot.'
Veronica was talking non-stop, whilst Isabella lay relaxed on the bed, completely naked, caressing herself as if she were m**********g. Diana didn't seem to be paying much attention to Veronica; she was thinking about this heir who, it seemed, had become a ring on her finger – but she was thinking of it in a different way: she wanted to turn him into a pair of shoes on her feet. Diana went into her room to sleep until morning; tomorrow she was to meet Friedman. Veronica felt frustrated; Diana had gone to bed and didn't seem to be paying attention to what was being said. Veronica sat watching the television, but the moans coming from Isabella seemed to arouse her; she approached Isabella's room and began watching her as she stroked her p***y and rubbed her breasts, Veronica felt aroused. She sat down next to the beautiful Isabella and began to caress her body and kiss her. Isabella was extremely horny. Veronica took out a large black dildo, inserted it into Isabella's p***y and put the other half into her own, and the two of them began to moan loudly, which kept Diana awake. She listened, laughed and pleasured herself until she came out holding a large leather whip and began striking Veronica and Isabella on their bottoms amidst screams that the whole hotel could almost hear, Isabella pulled Diana towards her forcefully and began kissing her, biting her neck and sucking her n*****s, whilst Veronica pleasured herself with the dildo until the bed was completely soaked, and the three of them fell asleep.
The following morning, Friedman arrived at Diana's suite, where she was already wearing a beautiful red dress and had copied the exact hairstyle she'd seen on Viola, Friedman's mother; she'd even applied her make-up. She had made herself look almost exactly like her. When Friedman entered the suite and saw her, he froze in his tracks and seemed to lose the ability to speak. He stood there, stunned, staring at Diana without saying a word. Diana approached him, placed her hands on his right cheek, gave him a gentle pat, and then kissed him on the cheek; at that moment, tears welled up in his eyes. This was exactly what his mother, Viola, used to do. Diana, of course, had read the entire note and knew everything. Diana and Friedman left. Of course, Friedman was like a child; she took him by the hand and said to me, 'Where are you going with Mummy now?'
Freedman and Diana slipped out of the hotel's back door to escape the bodyguards his uncle Edward had assigned to him. Freedman got into the car and set off for the Hamptons, where the grand mansion overlooking the sea and the yacht marinas was located. They arrived at the mansion shortly afterwards; it was empty, as it was intended for summer use.
The sleek black luxury car came to a gentle stop before the towering wrought-iron gates. They stood like the entrance to another world rather than the gateway to a mansion. As the massive gates slowly swung open, Diana crossed into one of the most breathtaking estates in the Hamptons.
A long private driveway stretched before her, bordered by perfectly aligned cypress and maple trees. White roses and fragrant lavender filled the air with a delicate perfume that blended with the cool ocean breeze drifting in from the Atlantic. Marble fountains danced gracefully, their crystal-clear water sparkling like thousands of tiny diamonds beneath the afternoon sun.
With every passing moment, the mansion revealed more of its magnificent grandeur. Built from elegant white limestone, its majestic façade rose proudly into the sky, supported by towering classical columns and expansive balconies adorned with hand-carved stone railings. Floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the endless blue sky and shimmering sea, making the estate appear as though it floated between heaven and earth.
Along both sides of the driveway stood remarkable marble sculptures. Ancient Greek goddesses, noble knights mounted on powerful horses, and angels with outstretched wings seemed to guard the estate with silent dignity. At the heart of the gardens stood a graceful statue of a woman holding an overflowing urn, pouring water into a tranquil pond where white lilies floated peacefully and elegant swans glided across the mirror-like surface.
The gardens seemed endless.
Natural stone pathways wound through immaculate emerald lawns, flowering arches draped in jasmine, and secluded marble benches overlooking landscapes sculpted with breathtaking precision. Hidden fountains emerged unexpectedly among flowering trees, giving the impression that water itself was alive throughout the estate.
Then Diana saw the swimming pools.
There were several, each more spectacular than the last. One infinity pool stretched seamlessly toward the horizon, blending with the ocean beyond, while another was surrounded by graceful palm trees, luxurious white cabanas, and polished stone terraces where sunlight shimmered across the crystal-blue water.
As the car reached the rear terrace of the mansion, the most extraordinary view unfolded before her.
Below the gently sloping lawn lay the estate's private yacht marina. Magnificent white yachts rested peacefully upon the calm sapphire waters, swaying gently with the tide. Elegant wooden docks extended into the sheltered harbor, reflecting the golden glow of the afternoon sun until the sea itself appeared to be made of liquid gold.
Diana stepped out of the car and stood completely motionless.
Her eyes wandered from the endless gardens to the marble statues, the dancing fountains, the luxurious pools, and finally to the breathtaking marina beyond. Every detail seemed impossibly beautiful, as though she had wandered into a dream rather than a place that truly existed.
She whispered softly, almost afraid to break the silence.
"Can a place this beautiful truly exist on Earth?"
For the first time in many years, time itself seemed to stand still.
This was not merely a luxurious mansion.
It was an entire world of serenity, elegance, unimaginable wealth, and timeless beauty—a small piece of paradise, crafted to make anyone who entered believe that the impossible could, in fact, become reality.
It seems Diana felt a bit dizzy from looking here and there at everything; every corner of this place is heaven on earth, whilst Friedman is thinking of nothing and wants nothing but Diana. In the palace lobby, where there was a small swimming pool with water as golden as gold, Diana sat on a large chair, crossed her legs, and said to Friedman, 'I want to go down to the swimming pool.' Friedman knelt at her feet, removed her shoes and kissed her feet, then took off her black stockings until she had taken off all her clothes. He cradled them in his hands and carried her down to the swimming pool. , massaging her body whilst she placed her feet on his shoulder one moment and on his face the next. She began to talk to him, and he replied; now and then she would give him a light slap on the cheek and kiss him. She learnt everything from him—every detail, big and small—about her uncle, who was approaching seventy. All his wealth: his companies, his palaces, his factories. Everything. Diana came out of the bathroom; he wrapped a towel around her and began to dry her body.
They ate in the large kitchen, and Diana began to wander around the palace, going from room to room to see how the wealthy live. It's a summer palace; some of the flats here are worth over a hundred million dollars. How much is this palace worth, overlooking the sea, owned by that damned Edward, who has three yachts? What a life! Diana imagined herself as the owner of the palace and the yachts, the queen of the sea. Just then, the phone rang. It was that wretched Edward, asking Friedman, 'Where are you? I need you straight away.' Friedman seemed to stumble over his words, but Diana gently slapped him, kissed him and said, 'Don't worry, baby, I'm with you.' 'Help Mummy get dressed so we can leave.' Friedman left the mansion for the hotel, and on the way he gave Diana a bag containing 500,000 dollars and said to her, 'I've paid for the hotel, and I hope I won't miss you.' At the hotel, Diana got out of the car after kissing Friedman, and Friedman went to his uncle's…
