“The Blackwood Academy—a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”

♠️ MARLENE

I was at Ethan’s when Ruby returned the next morning. She didn’t stop when she saw the present in the sitting room. She walked straight to her room—an action that proved she had a lot running through her mind.

Ethan wasn’t in the sitting room, so I went upstairs to find her. The door was open when I stepped in. I could hear her soft sobs from a distance.

“Ruby,” I called.

She tried to wipe he

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE Theme: When the truth hits, love becomes the anchor

    ♠️ ETHAN ♠️The drive home was silent.Marlene’s hands were steady on the wheel, her gaze occasionally shifting to me—quiet, observant, like she was reading the storm I couldn’t hide.I sat rigid in the passenger seat, arms folded tightly, staring out the window as the city blurred into streaks of gold and silver.Lilian’s words echoed relentlessly in my head.You’re not his son… You weren’t born of Mr. Pierce…Each sentence felt like a crack splitting through everything I thought I knew.Like the ground beneath me had been ripped away—leaving me suspended in something I didn’t understand.I tried to focus on the road.On the passing lights.On anything but the truth clawing at me from the inside.But it wouldn’t stop.“Ethan…” Marlene’s voice was soft, careful. “You’re shaking. Do you want me to take you straight to your room?”My throat tightened. Words refused to come.After a moment, I gave a small nod.When we arrived at the mansion, I barely noticed it. The towering structure, t

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR Theme: Secrets Shattering Bonds, Love as an Anchor

    ♠️ ETHAN ♠️I was at school when the call came in from the hospital. Reina had another attack—and Mom didn’t even bother to tell me.I didn’t think. I just moved.My car tore through the city streets, tires screeching against asphalt like they were the only thing keeping me from completely losing it.The hospital lights blurred past—red and blue flashing like warnings I couldn’t ignore. I rushed through the sliding doors before the valet could react, ignoring the stares from nurses and security.And then I saw her.Standing rigid. Pale. Shaking.Trying—and failing—to steady Reina’s trembling body.“Reina!” I shouted, rushing toward them.She turned, confused, her small body wracked with pain. My chest tightened as I dropped beside her, pulling her into my arms.“I’m here, baby. I’m here,” I whispered, holding her close like I could take the pain from her.Mom stepped back sharply, her eyes flashing with something unfamiliar—anger… fear… maybe even guilt.“Ethan!” she snapped.I looked

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY-THREE THEME: Fear, desperation, and the helplessness of love

    ♠️ LILIAN ♠️The house was too quiet. I couldn’t sit still. My fingers drummed against the arm of the chair, but it didn’t help. My chest felt tight, every nerve on edge, as if my body knew something terrible was coming.And then it did.Reina.Her screams pierced the silence. I froze for a second, heart hammering.The sound from the bedroom—the way she gasped, her body wracked by spasms—made my blood run cold.I didn’t think. There was no time to even hesitate.I grabbed my coat, my purse—anything I could grab—and rushed to her side. She was pale, shivering, and terrified, the color drained from her cheeks as her small body convulsed.“Reina!” I screamed, scooping her up. “Hold on, baby, hold on!”I didn’t call Ethan. Not this time. Not yet. I didn’t even stop to think about who might be able to help. I only knew one thing—my daughter needed me, and I had to get her to the hospital.I ran through the streets, ignoring the curious stares of neighbors and passersby. The hospital doors

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY-TWO THEME: Love in the crossfire of power and vengeance

    ♠️ MARLENE ♠️I found him in the study, late at night.The mansion was quiet; the only sound was the low hum of the air conditioning.Ethan sat at the desk, papers scattered around him, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the polished wood. He looked calm. Controlled. Focused—too focused. And that terrified me.I didn’t know when it happened. When the careful, thoughtful Ethan I had fallen for started becoming this… version of Caspian—the cold, calculating, ruthless man who could stare at danger and smile.I knew Ethan was ruthless too, but something about him was different now.“Ethan,” I said quietly, stepping into the room. My voice was calm, but I could feel the heat rising in my chest. “We need to talk.”He didn’t look up. His hands paused over the papers, then continued moving like a machine.I walked closer, stopping just behind him. “Ethan.”Finally, he lifted his head. His eyes were dark, serious—a storm brewing behind them. “Marlene.”I tried to keep my voice steady. “I know

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THEME: Deals with blood and fire

    ♠️ ETHAN ♠️The knock came sharp, deliberate, leaving no room for hesitation.Ethan looked up from the papers sprawled across his desk. Salvador had sent in new contracts; his schedule was packed.“Come in,” he called out.The door opened to reveal Caspian—taller than Ethan remembered. The room felt smaller suddenly.Ethan swallowed. Caspian didn’t smile. He never did.Caspian strode in and, without a word, slammed a thick stack of papers onto Ethan’s desk.Ethan looked down. Contracts, intelligence reports, lists of names—all annotated, all meticulously detailed.“I’m the new Don of the Bloodhounds,” Caspian said finally, voice low and lethal. “I’ve taken over. Everything moves through me now.”Ethan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew him, yes—but not like this. This version of Caspian was ruthless, untouchable, feared.“And you’re here… why?” Ethan asked cautiously, leaning back.Caspian’s eyes flicked to him. “You’ve been seeing my sister. Marlene.”Ethan shrugged, trying to appear no

  • DARK DIAMOND    CHAPTER FORTY THEME: When love turns into a battlefield, truth becomes the weapon

    It was dark when Georgia was brought in through the service entrance, the car’s headlights cut before it reached the driveway.A blanket was pulled over her head.Her body still ached from the hospital. Not the physical pain—that was manageable—but the kind of exhaustion that came from surviving too much for too long.Inside the mansion, the air smelled the same. A maid reached for her arm. Georgia shook her head.“I can walk.”And she did, slowly, steadily, each step echoing in the hallway. Mr. Black was waiting in the study.He stood near the fireplace, jacket discarded, sleeves rolled, a glass of whiskey untouched in his hand. He looked irritated, not worried.The sight of him hardened something inside her that had been soft for years.“Georgia,” he said, as if testing the word. “You should be resting.”She didn’t answer.Instead, she reached into her coat and pulled out a thick envelope.The sound it made when she slammed it against his chest was sharp. It made Black curious.“Wha
