The Contract Bride He Never Wanted Valentino Finds Out
Chapter 242: Valentino Finds OutThe room went silent.Dead silent.“She’s gone.”Marco’s words hung in the air like a threat.Valentino didn’t move.Didn’t speak.Didn’t even blink.For a moment…It was like the entire world paused.Then—“Say that again.”His voice was low.Controlled.Too controlled.Marco exchanged a glance with Luca.Then repeated,“Aria’s gone.”Something shifted.Not outside.Inside Valentino.“Explain.”Luca stepped forward.“One of the guards at the back exit was knocked out. Clean hit. No struggle. She planned it.”Valentino’s jaw tightened.“She didn’t take a car from the estate,” Marco added.“So she left on foot… at least at first.”Silence again.But this time…It wasn’t empty.It was building.Valentino turned slowly.Walked to the table.Placed both hands on it.His head lowered slightly.And for a second—Just a second—He closed his eyes.Then—He snapped.The table flipped.Wood cracked.Papers scattered.The map tore in half.“DAMN IT!”The shout e
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted Aria’s Dangerous Move
Chapter 241: Aria’s Dangerous MoveThe estate was quiet again.Too quiet.Night had settled in, wrapping the broken mansion in shadows.Most of the guards were stationed outside.The inner halls were dim.Still.Perfect.Aria stood inside her room, staring at the small bag on her bed.She hadn’t packed much.Just enough.Because this wasn’t a trip.It was a decision.Her fingers hovered over the zipper.For a moment…She hesitated.Valentino’s face flashed in her mind.The way he looked at her now.Distant.Cold.“You’ve done enough.”Her chest tightened.“I’m not done,” she whispered.Not yet.She grabbed the bag.And walked out.The hallway stretched in front of her.Empty.Silent.Each step felt louder than it should.Like the walls themselves were watching her leave.She moved quickly.Carefully.Avoiding the main corridors.She knew the estate well enough by now.Knew where the guards rotated.Where the cameras had blind spots.Funny.The same knowledge Adrian wanted her for…Was
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted Adrian Strikes Back
Chapter 240: Adrian Strikes BackThe city didn’t sleep.Not anymore.News of the dock explosion spread fast.Faster than Valentino expected.Faster than anyone could contain.By morning…Everyone knew.The Romano name was no longer whispered with fear.It was spoken with uncertainty.And Adrian?He was watching it all unfold.From the top floor of a glass tower overlooking the city.Calm.Composed.Untouched.One of his men approached carefully.“The warehouse is gone,” he reported.Adrian didn’t turn.“I’m aware.”The man hesitated.“Do we respond?”Adrian’s reflection stared back at him in the glass.“We already are.”Across the city…One of Valentino’s last safe houses sat hidden between two abandoned buildings.Quiet.Undetected.Or so they thought.Inside, three of Valentino’s remaining men worked quickly.Packing.Moving weapons.Trying to stay ahead of the chaos.Then—The lights went out.One of them frowned.“What the—”The door burst open.Gunfire erupted instantly.No warni
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted Aria Alone
Chapter 239: Aria AloneThe estate was quiet again.Too quiet.The echoes of war had faded.The fire had been put out.The damage… remained.Aria stood alone on the balcony outside her room, staring out at the dark horizon.The wind brushed softly against her skin.But she felt nothing.Everything inside her felt… heavy.She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to steady her breathing.But her chest still ached.“Not anymore.”Valentino’s words replayed in her mind.Over.And over.And over again.She closed her eyes.Tears slipped down silently.“I chose you…” she whispered to herself.And somehow…That had been the wrong choice.She let out a shaky breath.Maybe Adrian was right.Maybe she had always been part of something she didn’t understand.A piece in someone else’s game.A weapon she didn’t even know she was holding.Her fingers curled slightly.“I didn’t ask for this,” she murmured.But that didn’t matter.Because she was in it now.And people had paid the price.The empir
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted The New War Begins
Chapter 238: The New War BeginsNight fell over the city like a warning.Quiet.Heavy.Waiting.Inside what remained of the Romano estate, the atmosphere had shifted completely.No panic.No chaos.Only preparation.Valentino stood in the dimly lit war room, a new map spread across the table.Not of his empire.But of Adrian’s.Locations marked.Supply routes.Safe houses.Contacts.Every weakness.Marco leaned over the table, studying the layout.“You’re sure about this one?”Valentino didn’t hesitate.“Yes.”Luca, sitting nearby with a fresh bandage around his shoulder, let out a low whistle.“You’re hitting him already?”Valentino’s eyes didn’t leave the map.“He thinks we’re still recovering.”A pause.“He’s wrong.”Alessandra stood by the screens, pulling up data.“This location,” she said, pointing to a marked warehouse near the docks, “is one of his primary distribution hubs.”Marco smirked.“So we cut off supply first.”Valentino nodded.“Not just cut it off.”His voice droppe
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted Rise From Ruin
Chapter 237: Rise from RuinMorning came quietly.Too quietly.The Romano estate stood under a pale sky, smoke still rising from parts of the property.Broken walls.Shattered windows.Scorch marks across the once-perfect stone.It didn’t look like an empire anymore.It looked like a warning.Inside, the atmosphere had changed.Gone was the chaos of the night before.Gone were the overlapping voices and panic.Now…There was silence.Focused.Controlled.Dangerous.Valentino stood in the center of the main hall.Dressed in black.Unshaken.Unreadable.Around him, the remaining members of his empire stood in a semi-circle.Fewer than before.Much fewer.But the ones still here…Were the ones who hadn’t run.Marco leaned against a pillar, arms crossed.Luca stood nearby, freshly bandaged but still refusing to sit down.Alessandra had her tablet in hand, already rebuilding what she could.Aria stood at the back.Quiet.Watching.Valentino’s voice broke the silence.“We lost everything.”
The Contract Bride He Never Wanted When Love Starts to Hurt Quietly
Chapter 82: When Love Starts to Hurt QuietlyShe didn’t sleep that night.Not really.She lay on her side, staring at the ceiling, replaying his words over and over until they lost meaning and became echoes. I loved her. I betrayed her. She went to prison. Each sentence settled differently, sinking

Chapter 84: When the Past Knocks LoudlyShe woke up to the sound of her phone vibrating endlessly on the bedside table.At first, she ignored it. Sleep had been shallow, broken by dreams that felt too close to reality—his voice, the woman’s eyes, the name of someone who had vanished because of a ch

Chapter 74: Seen Without Being ClaimedShe didn’t expect it to matter this much.After everything she had survived—after choosing herself, setting boundaries, closing doors she once begged to keep open—being seen publicly shouldn’t have felt significant.But it did.Because this time, it wasn’t abo
