A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

The gunshot echoed like thunder trapped in a narrow cage.For one suspended heartbeat, no one moved.Elena’s stance was perfect, arms locked, eyes sharpened through the gun’s sights. The masked man nearest Alex stumbled backward, hand clutching his shoulder where the bullet tore through. Blood bloomed across his dark uniform.“Don’t even breathe wrong,” Elena warned, voice pure steel.Katrina’s lips curled into a slow, maddened smile. “Ah. The loyal one finally arrives.”Sarah pushed Alex further behind her, never taking her gaze off Katrina. Her pulse battered against her ribs, but her spine stayed rigid. Whoever Sarah had been once—a scared waitress, a woman who depended on luck to survive—she was unrecognizable now. Damon had taught her strength, but love had turned it into a force.Elena motioned her chin, gun steady. “Sarah, secure Alex.”Sarah nodded, ushering him behind the hospital bed, shielding him with her body. Alex clutched her shirt, tiny fingers trembling.“Katrina,” Ele

The night was quiet in a way that felt wrong. Too still. Too controlled. Damon stood by the living room windows of the penthouse, staring out over the city like he could see the danger brewing beneath its glittering lights. His reflection glared back at him — sharp jaw, dark eyes burning with purpose. A man with something worth fighting for now.Behind him, Sarah tucked a blanket around Alex, who had fallen asleep at last on the couch. His breathing was shallow, exhaustion weighing heavily after the traumatic hours he had endured. She brushed a gentle hand over his hair, her heart aching with a fierce kind of love. He was theirs now. Fully, completely. No question.Damon turned to her, his gaze softening as it met hers. “He’s safe now,” he whispered, as though saying it louder would tempt fate to challenge him.Sarah walked toward him quietly. “Safe for tonight,” she corrected, slipping her hand into his. “Tomorrow isn’t promised. Not while they’re still out there.”Damon pulled her cl

The city raced past in a blur of wet lights as Lucas drove them away from the explosion of chaos they’d just escaped. The windshield wipers beat frantically, matching the racing pulse in Sarah’s veins. Her hands trembled slightly — adrenaline refusing to fade. Damon noticed and wrapped an arm around her, drawing her against him.“You’re shaking,” he murmured.She exhaled, shaky but resilient. “I’m alive. That’s enough.”“It’s more than enough,” he said, pressing a kiss to her temple. “You’re everything.”Lou jumped in from the passenger seat, breaking the moment. “Intel upload is at eighty percent. Once Lou Jr. here—” she tapped the laptop, “—finishes chewing, we’ll know exactly who is behind this nightmare.”Lucas snorted. “Lou Jr.? Seriously?”Lou flashed a grin. “Every genius names their tools.”Elena cut in through comms from the base location. “Focus. The raid spooked them, but you didn’t shut them down yet. They’ll retaliate.”“They already did,” Damon replied darkly. “They came

The alarms still echoed in Damon’s skull long after they’d escaped the warehouse. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. Rain hammered the roof of the SUV, matching the storm raging inside him.Lucas was gone.Taken.And Damon had watched it happen.Beside him, Sarah held Alex close, the boy’s head tucked under her chin, but her eyes stayed locked on Damon’s profile. Fear sharpened her voice.“We will get him back,” she said.Damon didn’t answer.The SUV screeched to a stop outside the penthouse. Damon shoved the door open and stalked inside, movement sharp with fury. Lou and Maya were already waiting, holo-screens glowing with tracking visuals and intercepted signals.Lou stepped forward. “We have a lead. The truck they shoved Lucas into is heading east. There are only two properties in that direction—”“We hit both,” Damon snapped.Jordan joined in via comms, his tone urgent. “Slow down. They want you rushed. They want a mistake.”Damon slammed his fist a

The next morning came far too quickly.Sarah hadn’t slept. Not even for a second. She sat by Alex’s bed with Damon’s jacket wrapped around her shoulders, his warmth lingering in the fabric like an embrace she refused to let go of.Alex was stable. Resting. Safe — for now.But safety was fragile. And Katrina Andre was the wind.Damon stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, giving short, clipped instructions that told Sarah everything she needed to know — the war had officially begun.“Security detail in place. I want access points monitored every thirty seconds. If anything feels off, anything at all, abort and extract. Do you understand?”He paused, jaw tight as he listened to the response. Then his voice dropped, darker.“Failure is not an option.”He ended the call without goodbye.Lucas approached him, quiet but firm. “We have to move.”Lou checked her equipment again, fingers trembling slightly despite her composed expression. “Warehouse coordinates locked.
