The Contract Bride He Never Wanted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 241 - チャプター 250

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

Chapter 243: In Adrian’s HandsThe building was silent.Too clean.Too controlled.Aria stepped inside, her footsteps echoing softly against the polished floor.Every instinct told her this place was dangerous.Not because of weapons.Not because of guards.But because of him.Adrian stood at the far end of the room, exactly where she expected him to be.Waiting.Always waiting.“You came alone,” he said calmly.Aria stopped a few steps away from him.“Yes.”His eyes studied her.Carefully.Like he was looking at something he had already claimed.“Good,” he murmured.Silence stretched between them.Aria’s heart was steady.“I didn’t come here to play games,” she said.Adrian tilted his head slightly.“Neither did I.”He gestured toward a chair.“Sit.”Aria didn’t move.“I’ll stand.”A faint smile touched his lips.“Still defiant.”He walked slowly around her, circling like he was studying every detail.“You’ve grown,” he said.Aria’s jaw tightened.“Get to the point.”Adrian stopped i

Chapter 245: Fire Meets FireThe room erupted.No more pauses.No more hesitation.War.The moment Aria stepped back—It was over.Valentino moved first.Fast.Brutal.His fist slammed into Adrian again, harder this time, sending him crashing into the glass table behind him.The table shattered on impact.Marco let out a sharp breath.“Boss is done talking.”Luca smirked slightly, already taking down another guard.“Yeah… he’s in that mood.”Adrian rolled with the impact, hitting the ground—but recovering instantly.He wiped the blood from his lip.And smiled.“You’ve improved,” he said.Valentino didn’t answer.He lunged again.This time, Adrian met him halfway.Their fists collided.A brutal exchange.Punch.Block.Strike.Counter.Neither holding back.Neither stepping down.Aria stood frozen, watching them.This wasn’t just a fight.It was something deeper.Two men who had been circling each other for too long…Finally colliding.Valentino drove Adrian backward, slamming him into

Chapter 248: The Cost of ChoiceThe silence didn’t last.It never did.The moment Aria stepped toward Valentino—The moment she chose—Something shifted.Not just between them.But in the room.In Adrian.The air turned colder.Sharper.Dangerous.“Well,” Adrian said softly.Too softly.“That was… disappointing.”Aria’s hand tightened slightly at her side.But she didn’t step back.Not anymore.Valentino moved just slightly closer to her.Not touching.But there.A silent shield.“You heard her,” Valentino said coldly.Adrian’s eyes flicked between them.“I did.”A pause.“And yet… I don’t think you understand what you’ve done.”Luca shifted behind them.“Yeah, I don’t like that tone.”Marco nodded.“Not even a little.”Adrian took a slow step forward.“You think this ends with a choice?” he continued.His voice still calm.Still controlled.“It doesn’t.”Aria held his gaze.“I’m not afraid of you.”Adrian smiled.“That’s because you still don’t know me.”And then—Everything happened

Chapter 249: War Without MercyMorning didn’t feel like morning.The sun rose over the city…But inside the Romano estate—There was no light.Only war.Valentino stood at the head of the table.Silent.Still.But the energy around him?Lethal.Marco leaned against the wall, arms crossed.Luca stood near the screens, watching movement across the city.Alessandra worked quickly, pulling up intel, maps, signals.No one spoke first.Because everyone felt it.This wasn’t strategy anymore.This was something else.Valentino finally looked up.“Find him.”Two words.Cold.Final.Luca exhaled slightly.“We’re trying. He wiped most of his locations after last night.”Valentino didn’t react.“Try harder.”Alessandra glanced at Luca.Then back at her system.“There’s one possibility,” she said carefully.Valentino’s eyes shifted to her.“Talk.”She hesitated for half a second.“An old facility. Off the grid. It was flagged years ago under a shell company connected to his family.”Marco straight
