DARK DIAMOND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“Sometimes what we see isn’t really what it looks like; there’s more behind the scenes.”“Today we gather once again to celebrate the legacy of my family. We have won the best battles together, and of course, we are a force to be reckoned with. I stand proud to announce the success of the latest achievement by my oldest son, Caspian Blackwood!” Mr. Blackwood announced, and the hall echoed with a round of applause.His wife, Georgia, smiled as he placed a kiss on her forehead. They looked so happy, and I loved it.Everyone at the party was connected to wealth. If it wasn’t generational, then it was recent wealth that truly mattered in society.“As the oldest son of the Blackwood family, my siblings and I are ready to uphold the family legacy more than we have ever done…” Caspian trailed off as he gave his speech. He was, after all, the epitome of a perfect son, sibling, and businessman—an hotelier with chains of hotels that matched his personality.Thane Blackwood was the president of

“The Blackwood Academy—a place where Elites connect to Elites and the rich get richer.”Ethan stared at his uniform in the mirror and frowned. It was too formal, too decent. Something about it made him feel like he wasn’t himself. He removed the suit, keeping only his formal pants and a well-pressed white dress shirt. He didn’t take off his earrings and rolled his sleeves up.When he came downstairs, Reina clapped excitedly.“Ethan!!!” she called, and Lilian stared at her son in shock.“What are you wearing?” she asked, eyes wide. Everyone knew what that uniform meant. It was the school for the rich—the poor didn’t even dream of it.“Good mood, Lilian. Hey, pookie,” Dre greeted as he joined them for breakfast, also in uniform. This only made Lilian more confused.“Why are both of you dressed in Blackwood Academy uniforms? Should I be worried, Ethan? Dre? We can’t afford this school!” she exclaimed dramatically. Ethan pulled her close.“You worry too much, Mom. We aren’t paying the bil

“The Blackwood Academy—a place where Elites connect to Elites and the rich get richer.”“They’re taking pictures and videos of us! Let me go!” Marlene shouted, and he released her as if nothing had happened a few minutes ago.“You don’t belong here! The sooner you realize that, the better for you,” she snapped. Whispers spread across the room. Students pulled out their phones, searching for information on Dre and Ethan.“What if Marlene is right? They don’t belong here?”“They must come from the streets.”“But they don’t look like street kids… their skin, their posture…”“There’s nothing about them online, which only fuels our suspicion that Marlene may be right,” one student declared. Ethan said nothing as he sat back down. He didn’t try to deny the claims, nor did he attempt to prove himself.One thing was certain: he planned to put Marlene in her place for drawing unnecessary attention.“This class is over! It’s obvious you don’t see the need to focus!” he snapped, leaving the room

“The Blackwood Academy—a place where Elites connect to Elites, and the rich get richer.”By the time Dre and Ethan got back to their rooms, the news of their arrest and the president’s visit was already all over the school. It felt like they were the rebels now, the ones every student needed to stay away from.“Don’t you find it suspicious that he let us off the hook without saying anything?” Dre asked curiously.“He has his suspicions. Mr. Thane comes off as a very intelligent man. He let us go so he could get us when we least expect it. We shouldn’t let our guard down,” Ethan said, and Dre nodded.Ethan then received a text from Vincent that made him stare at his phone screen before cursing under his breath.“What’s wrong?” Dre asked as he walked beside his best friend.“Reina had an attack again, so they rushed her to the hospital,” Ethan said. Jax offered to drive while the boys stayed in the back seat. Ethan felt nervous; the more he tried to wrap his head around what was happeni

“The Blackwood Academy, a place where Elites connect to Elites and the rich get richer”♣️ ETHAN ♣️“He has a gay son, and it turns out Rasheed is keeping it a secret from the rest of the family. If we can bring this out at the right time, it will be a plus for us,” I said. Dre walked over to the table in the middle and dropped his files.We were both working on two different projects at the moment, and if there were any obstacles so far, it was definitely Marlene trying to poke her nose into my business. It just didn’t sit well with me.“This is really good work, boys. I knew I could count on the both of you,” Salvatore declared as his eyes met mine.“Have a lovely day ahead,” he said, leaving us to ourselves. Dre gave me a teasing look that made me roll my eyes.“Now what? Why do you have that crazy look on your face?” I asked, and he chuckled.“Well, isn’t it interesting? After your last relationship, you’ve pretty much avoided ladies like the plague, but now you have the Blackwood
