The Contract Bride He Never Wanted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 231 - チャプター 240

Chapter 230: Helios UnleashedThe control room doors slammed shut behind Valentino.Heavy metal locks clicked into place.For a brief moment, there was silence.Then the chaos outside crashed back in—gunfire, explosions, shouting.The estate was still under siege.But inside this room…Something even more dangerous was about to begin.Alessandra stood in front of the main system panel, her face pale under the flickering emergency lights.“You made it,” she said quickly.Valentino moved beside her.“Status.”Her fingers trembled slightly as she pulled up multiple screens.“Security is failing in three sectors. We’ve lost east wing cameras completely. West wing is hanging by a thread.”Marco cursed under his breath.“Great.”Luca leaned against the wall, breathing harder now.“Tell me something I don’t know.”Aria stepped closer to the screens.“What about the vault data?”Alessandra hesitated.“That’s the problem.”Valentino’s eyes narrowed.“Explain.”Alessandra tapped the keyboard.M

Chapter 232: Into the UndergroundThe door slammed shut behind them.The sound echoed through the narrow passage like a final warning.Above them, the war continued.But down here…There was only silence.Valentino led the way, his weapon raised, flashlight cutting through the darkness.The underground corridor was cold.Concrete walls.Low ceilings.No windows.No escape.Aria walked just ahead of him, her heartbeat loud in her ears.Every step felt heavier.Like she was walking deeper into something she couldn’t come back from.Behind them, Luca and Marco followed closely.Luca winced slightly with every step, his injured shoulder slowing him down.Marco noticed.“You still alive back there?”Luca smirked faintly.“Barely. But I’m too stubborn to die tonight.”Valentino didn’t look back.“Stay focused.”His voice was quiet.Sharp.Controlled.The corridor split ahead.Two directions.One leading deeper underground.The other toward a series of locked maintenance doors.Aria stopped.

Chapter 234 : Life or EmpireThe underground chamber erupted into chaos.Helios screamed.Not just a warning anymore—A countdown.A release.Red lights flashed violently across the room.The servers buzzed louder, faster, like they were alive and breaking apart at the same time.Valentino stood frozen.His eyes locked on the system.Then on Aria.“What did you do…?” he whispered.Aria’s hand slowly dropped from the panel.Her face had gone pale.“I… I chose you…”Adrian’s voice cut through the noise like a blade.“And in doing so… you destroyed everything else.”The words echoed.Not just in the room.But inside Valentino’s chest.Luca swore under his breath.“No, no, no—this is bad.”Marco turned toward the system.“Can we stop it?!”Alessandra’s voice crackled through the comms, panicked.“It’s too late! The data is already transferring—multiple networks, multiple countries—everything is going live!”Valentino’s fist clenched.Every connection.Every secret.Every ally.Gone.Aria

Chapter 236: The Breaking PointThe estate felt different.Not just damaged.Not just attacked.Broken.The once untouchable Romano mansion now echoed with emptiness.Gunfire had slowed.The enemy had pulled back—for now.But the silence that followed was worse.Inside the main hall, the team regrouped.Smoke still lingered in the air.Debris covered the floors.Cracks ran through the walls like scars.Valentino stood near the shattered window, staring out into the night.Watching the ruins of what used to be his empire.No one spoke.Until—“I’m sorry.”Aria’s voice was soft.Fragile.But in the silence…It echoed like a gunshot.Valentino didn’t turn.“I didn’t know,” she continued.“I didn’t know what Helios would do. I didn’t know—”“You didn’t know,” Valentino repeated.His voice was calm.Too calm.Aria swallowed.“I was trying to save you.”That made him turn.Slowly.His eyes locked onto hers.“And in doing that…” he said quietly,“You destroyed everything else.”The words cut

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
