Captured By The Powerful Mr. Moore: His Forbidden Claim
Aurora Scott’s life has never been fair. Born into poverty, burdened by a sick mother she couldn’t save, and cursed with a gambler father who saw her as nothing more than collateral. But her true nightmare begins when he sells her–to a wealthy old man who strips her of her last shred of freedom.
Just when all hope is lost, Grayson Moore steps in.
Powerful. Cold. Untouchable. But he doesn’t save her out of kindness. He doesn’t rescue—He Claims.
Now trapped in his world, Aurora is nothing more than a pawn in his dangerous game of vengeance. Grayson took her for one reason–to destroy the man who ruined his life. But the longer she stays, the more she unravels the darkness within him, stirring a need he never wanted to feel.
She was meant to be his weapon, not his weakness. Love was never part of the plan.
Now, Grayson stands at a crossroads: hold onto his revenge and risk losing her forever… or surrender to the one thing he swore he’d never need. Her.

Chapter: Chapter 27- A gift of colors Grayson had no intention of returning to Harford-- not yet. Aurora wasn’t fully healed, and the thought of leaving her alone in such a vulnerable state left an unfamiliar weight pressing in his chest. It was unsettling.Early that morning, he had spoken to Steven. His instructions were precise. Steven was to pass along all the documents that required his attention and signature, nothing more. No one has to know where he was. The message was clear--- Grayson Moore was temporarily unreachable.By the time the afternoon sun stretched lazily across the estate, Grayson found himself walking toward Aurora’s room once more. His steps were measured and silent against the polished floorboards, but his gaze sharpened the moment he pushed open the door.Aurora was sitting up in bed, propped against the headboard with a book in her hands. The soft shadow of sunlight radiating through her, the subtle pink in her cheeks made her seem even more fragile and lovely.She didn’t notice him at first, t

Chapter: Chapter 26- Tending to her wound Aurora had just finished her breakfast, but the food settled uneasily in her stomach. Edith had quietly gone about helping her freshen up, her movements precise and efficient. Despite her calm demeanor, Aurora couldn't help but sense a subtle shift in the older woman's attention. Edith's usual sharpness softened just enough to hint at pity, though she never openly expressed it.Once done, Edith gave a curt nod and left the room. Aurora remained seated on the edge of the bed, her hands nervously twisting the sheets as she tried to quiet the storm of thoughts racing through her mind. But as if on cue, the door opened again.Grayson stepped inside her bedroom.Aurora's heart skipped a beat. His commanding presence filled the room, and in his hand was a small jar. Its purpose still unclear to her, but the sight of it made her stomach churn. She couldn’t explain why, but something about it made her feel uneasy, a chill running down her spine.He crossed the room unhurriedly while his ga

Chapter: Chapter 25- He stayed with herSunnydale – Aurora's Room.Grayson stood at the doorway with a calm expression on his face, but the rigid set of his shoulders betrayed the storm brewing inside him. His coat was still damp from the cold night air, yet he barely noticed it as he strode forward, his full focus fixed on the frail figure lying on the bed.Aurora was motionless, her face unnaturally pale against the pillows. Even in her fevered state, her brows were faintly furrowed, as though lost in some unbearable discomfort. A thin sheen of sweat clung to her skin, while her breathing was shallow and weak. The sight of the IV drip attached to her arm only worsened the unfamiliar tightness in Grayson’s chest.Dr. Langston adjusted the drip stand before turning toward him, his expression calm but tinged with quiet disapproval. Beside him, Edith exchanged a glance with Grayson before bowing slightly and excusing herself. The door shut softly behind her, leaving only the two men and the unconscious woman between them.

Chapter: Chapter 24- Becoming a madman Aurora shifted slightly, her body aching in ways she had never known before. A dull throb pulsed through her limbs, each movement a reminder of the night before. But the unbearable soreness between her legs made her wince. It felt as if she had been shattered, torn apart by the man who had taken everything from her.Grayson. His name echoed in her mind, bringing back flashes of heat, pain, and something she didn't dare to think. Her fingers brushed against the sheets, their warmth long faded. She turned her head and finally noticed it.The space beside her was empty.Her heart gave a slow, heavy thud.He was gone.Aurora stared at the vacant spot where he had been, where his body had pressed against hers. He had burned through her like fire, fierce and consuming. Now he was gone simply, leaving nothing behind but silence. The sheets were cold. No lingering warmth. No sign that he had ever been there.Her chest tightened and a dull ache settling deep inside her.So that was it.Afte

Chapter: Chapter 23- His Forbidden Claim The moonlight slipped through the windows, soft and quiet across the wide bedroom. The air was still. The only sound was Aurora’s slow breathing as she turned under the thin blanket, caught in an uneasy sleep.Everything stayed silent. Until the door slammed open.Aurora gasped, sitting up fast. Her heart jumped to her throat. She blinked against the darkness and saw a figure in the doorway. Broad shoulders. A heavy, burning stare.Grayson.But not the Grayson she remembered. Not the man who stayed calm and cold no matter what.This man looked broken.He stood there like he had fought a thousand battles just to reach her. His chest heaved, fists clenching and unclenching like he was trying to hold something back.Aurora clutched the blanket tighter around herself. Her voice cracked when she spoke.“Grayson? What are you doing?”He didn’t answer. He just looked at her. Looked at her like she was the only thing left that mattered.Seconds dragged. The air grew too thick to breathe.Then

Chapter: Chapter 22- The twentieth death anniversary of Grayson's parents In Harford City, the sky was overcast—a dull, heavy gray that mirrored the solemnity of the day. The air carried the scent of incense and fresh flowers, clinging to everything like a memory refusing to fade. The Moore family stood before the twin graves of Benjamin and Vivianne Moore. The marble headstones were tall, pristine, unyielding. Their names carved into stone remained untouched by time, yet they had shaped every second of Grayson’s life.Grayson stood still, a figure of icy composure, his hands buried deep in the pockets of his black long coat. His expression was unreadable, carved in stone like the names before him. Beside him, his grandfather Henry remained as rigid and dignified as ever, his gaze rooted on the graves with a heaviness age had not diminished. Behind them, Melissa, Hunter, and Natalie formed a quiet line—heads slightly bowed, postures respectful but distant.Every year, it was the same.The same rituals.The same hollow words of remembrance.The same unbearab

Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO
Alexander Harris has always been cold and indifferent–a ruthless CEO who values power over love. Haunted by his past and allergic to a woman’s touch, he vowed never to fall for anyone—until he met Everette Carson. From the moment their paths crossed, Alexander was drawn to her in a way he couldn’t explain. When his grandmother threatens to hand over 15% of the company’s shares to his despised father unless he marries, Alexander sees an opportunity. Everette’s bold defiance intrigues him—making her the perfect candidate for a marriage of convenience. Silencing his grandmother and putting Everette in her place? It’s the perfect plan!
But what starts as a calculated move quickly spirals into dangerous territory. Everette’s warmth begins to melt the ice around his heart, stirring memories of a mysterious girl from his past—the only person who ever touched his soul. When the truth behind their first encounter is revealed, Alexander realizes their connection was no coincidence—it was Fate.
Just as love begins to bloom, dark secrets unravel, hidden enemies rise from the shadows and betrayal strikes—determined to tear them apart. When Everette walks away, Alexander’s desperation cracks through his icy facade. "If you leave me today, you will never see me again in this lifetime!" His voice was raw, and when she didn’t stop—he pulled the trigger. The gunshot shattered the silence, but the pain that followed was far greater…
After Everette left, the memory of that moment etched itself into Alexander's soul, haunting him even after six long years. Now, fate has brought her back to Summerville—to where it all started. Will their story finally have a different ending—or are they destined to fall apart once more?

Chapter: Chapter 39- Being intimate in broad daylight At noon, Butler Clark delivered their lunch. And guess what...? The CEO's office also had a big break room with a comfy bed, a cozy dining area, a spacious bathroom, and even a closet where Alex’s garments were neatly placed. She was dumbstruck to find such a place in a CEO’s office."Butler Clark, did Alex live here in the past? Why does he have so many things in this place?"She curiously asked the butler while they were busy arranging the food on the dining table. She insisted on helping him while waiting for Alex, who was still in a video conference call just outside in his office."Yes, young mistress. Though young master has many villas, he often stayed here or in his hotel because it is more convenient for him," Clark answered thoughtfully."That’s weird."Just as they finished setting the table, Alex walked in and proceeded to wash his hands in the sink."Young master, young mistress, please enjoy your meal," Butler Clark bowed before leaving the room."Clark brought too much

Since she was brought to the hospital yesterday, Alex hadn’t allowed her to return to work and insisted she rest at home. He even gave specific instructions to the housekeeper, especially regarding their daily meals. And today, he insisted she accompany him to the company—under the convenient title of his personal secretary. Clearly, he had found another way to keep her under his nose.Earl was driving them, while John—now assigned as Alex’s personal driver and bodyguard—followed closely behind with a few discreet bodyguards. Alex’s security was so tight, even a fly couldn’t slip through.At her request not to be seen arriving at the building’s entrance with him, Alex took her through the underground parking and into his private elevator. Only he and Earl had access to it. Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief.She was in the pantry office getting some water when Tracy suddenly appeared, eyeing her with mali

Chapter: Chapter 37- Jaxon's unexpected call“She has mild gastritis, which is why she had a severe stomach ache caused by excessive intake of spicy food. Please be more careful with her diet. Her immunity isn’t very strong,” the doctor stated after conducting a brief check-up on Eve.“But she’s fine now and can be discharged after finishing her drip. I shall take my leave now, Mr. Harris,” the doctor respectfully bowed before leaving the room.Eve was leaning against the head of the bed. Her face, which had been very pale earlier, had now regained some color. The discomfort in her stomach had eased, though she still felt a bit weak. The unbearable pain had tortured her so much that she almost fainted on the way to the hospital. She had clutched Alex’s suit tightly throughout the journey, and fortunately, she endured it.Matthew and Kelly, who had followed them all the way, had also left after confirming that she was finally okay. It was their first day of internship—skipping work wasn’t a good idea.“How do you feel now?” Alex

Chapter: Chapter 36- Witnessing the cold CEO showing concern for a womanDuring lunch break, Eve and Kelly met up and headed toward the company cafeteria to have their lunch. Actually, Alex told her to wait for him so they could eat outside, but she insisted on having lunch in the corporate cafeteria. Matthew also joined them, and the three occupied a three-seater table. Almost all the employees in the company ate in the cafeteria, making the whole place really crowded."Ladies, here comes your food. I also added your favorite dishes," Matthew said, arriving at their table with a large tray. Being a gentleman, he had volunteered to get the food for them."Ahh, finally! I can now eat. My head hurts from cracking codes all morning! I feel so hungry right now," Kelly grumbled, helping set the food on the table."Evie, I got your favorite mashed potatoes with cheese," Matthew said, handing her a small bowl."Wow, thanks!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining as she accepted the bowl. Mashed potatoes were truly her favorite."How's your work in the CEO's office?"

Chapter: Chapter 35- The unreasonable and jealous CEO "Mr. Harris please spare me. I really didn't knew the reason behind Mr. Flemings withdrawal." The senior manager of Amber Holdings was kneeling infront of the CEO's desk. His look was terribly horrified because once his falsity will be exposed he's finished not just his career but also his entire life. Alex who was calmly sitting on his executive chair had an indifferent and icy look at the manager who was kneeling on the floor with a nervous look. "The information of our investors is strictly confidential and you, as the operation manager on that company clearly knew it's internal affairs. Do you take me as a fool?" Alex growled in a lower but chilly voice. The room was slowly turning into an ice cave. " M-Mr. Harris i really d-don't know! " The manager exclaimed nervously while stammering. Alex threw a stack of photos infront of him. It was a perfect shot from him being bribed by Jaxon's assistant and there was even a ban

It was so intense that her private part was still sore. After that night, she had been bedridden
