DARK DIAMOND CHAPTER THIRTY THEME: The secrets that bind us together
“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”♣️ ETHAN ♣️“You mean Salvador nearly destroyed you over such a twisted demand?” Dre exploded.“I knew we sold our lives to that bastard the moment he started manipulating us.”He paced the room, fury written all over his face.“Look at what he did to you. Vincent sees nothing wrong with it because he’s sworn his life to Salvador!” he snapped.After a moment, Dre exhaled sharply and finally calmed down.“So… what are you going to do?”“I can’t hurt Marlene,” I said quietly. “It would destroy her.”Dre scoffed. “You just had to fall for the enemy’s daughter. What if her father was responsible for your dad’s death? What would you do then?”That question hit harder than any blow Salvador had landed. I had no answer.Thankfully, the bruises on my face had already begun to fade.The next day was chaos — preparations for the ball consumed every second. Just as Marlene said, it was going to be huge… ve
DARK DIAMOND CHAPTER TWENTY NINE THEME: The secrets that bind us together
THE BLACKWOOD ACADEMYA place where elites connect with elites and the rich get richer.♠️ MARLENE ♠️Ethan iscrazy. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s just too much to handle. After teasing me for some time, I noticed him fall asleep. I guess the doctor’s treatment had an effect on him.I watched him calmly until I fell asleep too.“Dad, please… don’t go. Please stay… Dad, please,” I heard his voice, and it woke me up almost instantly.“Ethan! Ethan!” I called, trying to wake him up. He was shaking visibly; beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and it made my heart ache for him.“Please!”He woke up with a shock and moved away from me.“Ethan!” I tried to go closer.“Don’t touch me. I don’t want you to touch me… go away from me… I said leave,” he repeated over and over again. I knew it was just his fear speaking and not truly his intent. He wanted me to stay but just didn’t know how to go about it.“No.”“Marlene, I want you to leave. I don’t want to see anyone…” he trai

“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”♠️ MARLENE ♠️I stayed quiet during the ride, unable to process what had just happened. Ethan… he had just killed someone, and yet he seemed so calm, almost too comfortable with it.“Spill,” he said suddenly, eyes sharp, and I raised my eyebrows.“Spill what?” I asked cautiously.“You’re holding something back. Just say it.” He rubbed his face, as if trying to shake off the tension.I took a deep breath. “You killed someone, Ethan. How am I supposed to just… trust you?”He cursed under his breath.Before I could say more, gunshots rang out, rattling the car.“Oh my God! Somebody help!” I screamed, my heart hammering.“Fvck! Fvck!” Ethan cursed as he fought to control the car, but it had stalled in the middle of nowhere.“We have to get out of here,” he said, urgency in his voice. “If we stay, they’ll kill us without a second thought.”“We could… head into the woods?” he suggested, scanning the d

“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”♣️ ETHAN ♣️“I think I should leave,” Ruby said quietly over breakfast. Dre cleared his throat, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t want to complicate your life further,” she added. “I have a penthouse, I just…” She trailed off.“Your father doesn’t know you’re here,” I said firmly. “That’s what makes this safe for us.” Ruby nodded.“Ethan’s right,” Dre added. “Stay with us until this all dies down. Being in the same house as your father right now is far too risky.”Ruby hesitated, then sighed. “I just… I should tell Marlene where I am. She’s been texting me constantly.”“She’ll understand,” I said. “But you’re right to be careful. I don’t want her getting caught in the mess either.”Dre smirked. “He’s just scared about how fast his feelings for Marlene are growing.”“Wait, what?” I asked, looking at both of them. They burst into laughter.“Left alone with her in a room, and you’d lose your mind,” Dre
DARK DIAMOND CHAPTER TWENTY SIX THEME: The secrets that bind us together
“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”[LA ROSA]Caspian packed his car outside the towering mansion. Men in royal blue suits stood alert, their eyes sharp and calculating. Caspian didn’t flinch. He had his plan, and Salvador knew better than to challenge a Blackwood.“Do you have an appointment with Mr. La Rosa?” a young assistant asked, trying to mask her nervousness.“I don’t need an invitation,” Caspian replied smoothly. “Tell him Caspian Blackwood is here to see him.”The assistant hesitated, then nodded and hurried toward Salvador’s office. Minutes later, the old man emerged, a cigar clenched between his teeth. Caspian knew the type — men who hid dangerous secrets and would kill to protect them.“Caspian Blackwood,” Salvador greeted, laughter rumbling in his chest.“Salvatore La Rosa,” Caspian replied evenly. “Walking into your territory unarmed. You really think you can touch me?”Salvador chuckled. “You’ve always been stubbor
DARK DIAMOND CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE THEME: The secrets that bind us together
“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.” ♠️ MARLENE ♠️ “You shouldn’t be here. In fact, we shouldn’t even be in the same space!” he declared. I cleared my throat. “Why?” I asked calmly. “Because you have five angry brothers who think I’m out to ruin their sister,” he replied. “And since when did you start caring about my brothers?” I asked, still too calm for his liking. “Marlene, you tempt me. You’re messing with my mind, and it would do us no good. I’m bad for you,” he said, his words increasing the tension in the room. “And you think I haven’t thought about that?” I said. “Ethan, you can’t shut me out of your life. It’s unfair.” He stared at me, silent. The air between us grew heavier. “You should leave, Marlene,” he said. “I’m not leaving,” I answered. “I said leave!” he repeated, his voice firm and sharp. I flinched at the intensity. “And I said I’m not leaving,” I snapped. “What part of that don’t you understand?” He

“The Blackwood Academy — a place where elites connect to elites, and the rich get richer.”♠️ ETHAN ♠️I was worried sick about Ruby. I couldn’t understand why the thought of anything happening to her terrified me this much. We had a connection—one I couldn’t explain, no matter how hard I tried.“Y
