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 66- The Day He Almost Lost Her A phone call came just as Grayson was about to shut everything off. He had been standing by the window of his office for what felt like hours, lost in thought, and trying to steady the war inside his chest.When his phone buzzed again, he didn’t bother checking the screen at first. He was ready to silence it altogether.But the name that flashed on the screen made him curious.The call was from Edith.He answered it subconsciously. “What’s the matter?”Edith's voice cracked on the other end. Shaking and barely coherent.“Sir—it’s Aurora. She fell… down the staircase. There was a fight. I—she’s unconscious. There’s so much blood… I don’t know if she’s—”Grayson didn’t hear the rest. His heart had stopped beating the second Edith said Aurora's name.He didn’t ask further questions. Didn’t even have time to grab his coat. He left the office in a blur, and hurried himself to the underground parking.A dreadful thought flashed through his mind.No.. Not her.The ride to the hospital was a

Chapter: Chapter 65- The Confrontation That Ended In Blood The silence in the estate was deceptive.Aurora could feel the weight of it pressing down on her as she wandered the hallway near the east wing, where sunlight slanted softly through the open space of the big terrace—painting everything in a golden hue that felt too gentle for what was coming.She hadn’t eaten anything since morning. Her thoughts were too tangled to allow her appetite room.Natalie’s return had shaken her more than she wanted to admit. And though Grayson had barely said a word to her since, his silence was a language she’d come to understand. But last night—the things he said…Her fingers curled over the edge of the railings of the balcony, knuckles turning pale. She couldn’t pretend those moments didn’t happen. And yet this morning, he’d walked Natalie back to her room like nothing had changed.Aurora bit down hard on her lip.She didn’t want to be angry. But she was.She didn’t want to feel jealous. But she did.And she hated that all of this was making her fall f

Chapter: Chapter 64- Too Deep To Escape The door shut behind Grayson with a thud, but the echo followed him all the way down the hallway.He didn’t look back.Because if he did, he might see Natalie’s face again—shocked and speechless.And he couldn’t afford to feel sorry for her right now.No matter what, she had been his fiancée for a long time. But he had made his decision.He got into his car in silence and drove straight to the city, his grip on the steering wheel was too tight the entire ride. His mind wasn’t blank—it was chaotic. A thousand thoughts circling with no order, no beginning, no end.By the time he stepped into his private office at Sunnydale's headquarters, the silence that greeted him was both a relief and a curse.He tossed his coat onto the couch and yanked his tie loose, the tension in his chest refusing to fade.The breakup had been long overdue—but that didn’t make it any easier.Eight years. Eight years of shared history. Of expectation. Of being told what kind of man he was supposed to be—and what

Chapter: Chapter 63- Grayson's Choice The morning sunlight spilled quietly into the grand halls of the Moore estate, but nothing about the atmosphere felt warm. It was still the same suffocating morning—like the calm before a storm that everyone could feel coming.Aurora walked silently through the corridor, her hands clasped in front of her, her heart still sore from last night.She hadn’t slept much. After everything that had happened in the car, she didn’t know what to feel.Grayson’s words had broken something in her—but not in the way she expected.He had confessed.Not with flowers or soft promises, but with fire and desperation—as if it were the only way he knew how to say it. And in return, she had given herself to him again.Completely.But now, as she descended the staircase, her steps slowed.A soft, familiar voice echoed from below.“Where did you go last night? I was waiting for you. I thought we'd have dinner together,” Natalie’s gentle voice floated in the air.“I was busy,” Grayson’s deep voice replied cur

Chapter: Chapter 62- I'm Falling For You Grayson yanked the car door open and slammed it shut the moment Aurora was inside. His grip on the wheel was brutal—knuckles white, jaw locked tight.He didn’t wait another second. The engine roared to life as he pulled away from the curb with a screech, speeding down the empty road like he was trying to outrun the storm inside him.Aurora sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her breath shaky. Her eyes darted toward him—wide, disoriented, afraid, and slowly boiling with anger. She clutched the seatbelt tightly, like her life depended on it.This was the second time she’d seen Grayson erupt in anger because of Julian. He was always too hostile whenever Julian was around her—and that only made her more confused. Why did he have to be so overbearing, reacting like this? She was nothing but a plaything to him. So why did he act so possessive all the time?He nearly killed Julian earlier. And she was terrified by it.Grayson was getting out of hand. He was dangerous. And she couldn’t take i

Chapter: Chapter 61- The Fierce Fight The dinner ended, but Grayson’s anger remained—fierce and simmering beneath his perfectly composed, stoic face.He had been holding it since in the park when he saw them both together—happily talking and taking pictures. Seeing Aurora’s warm expression and smiling because of another man, it hit his gut—hard. Aurora was his—heart, body and soul. Her whole world is supposed to be his—not with another guy. His hand itches to smash Julian's face, really. He only endured it—longer than he thought he would. All throughout the meal, his sharp eyes stayed glued to Julian, observing every bold movement, every smug smile, and especially every time he placed food onto Aurora’s plate like it was his right. He was challenging him in silence. The audacity was maddening.Grayson clenched his jaw so tightly that a vein pulsed along his temple. The only reason he hadn’t snapped at the table was because of Maria—Aurora’s mother, who kept smiling brightly as if she didn’t feel the thick tension poison

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 a dark past and unable to bear a woman’s touch, he vowed never to fall for anyone.
Until he met Everette Carson.
From the moment their paths crossed, Everette challenged everything he believed in. When his grandmother threatened to give 15% of the company’s shares to his estranged father unless he marries, Alexander saw an opportunity. Everette’s fire, defiance, and beauty made her the perfect pawn for a marriage of convenience. Silencing his grandmother and putting Everette in her place? It was supposed to be the perfect plan.
But nothing about her was ever simple.
The more time he spent with her, the harder it became to keep his walls up. Everette’s warmth began to melt the ice around his heart—awakening memories of a mysterious girl from his past—the only soul who had ever touched his own. When the truth of their first meeting comes to light, Alexander realizes their bond was never coincidence. It was fate.
Just as love begins to take root, long-buried secrets resurface. Dangerous enemies rise. And betrayal strikes from within.
When Everette finally walked away to protect them both, Alexander broke—his desperation unraveling as he threatened to end his life.
“Evie… if you walk away today, you will never have the chance to see me again in this life.”
But she didn’t stop walking.
The gunshot echoed across the runway.
And nothing was ever the same again.
Now, with everything on the line, fate brings them back together one last time. Will love be enough to heal what was broken, or are they destined to fall apart… all over again?

Chapter: Chapter 180- A New Beginning Victor's burial was held on a quiet hill just outside the city. The entire Harris family was present. Though he had walked a dark path, Victor was still Alex and Jaxon’s half-brother—and his memory was honored with quiet reverence.Eve stood beside Alex as they lowered the casket into the earth. She felt his hand grip hers tightly, as if anchoring himself to the present while mourning the past. There were no words spoken, just the soft sound of the wind and the occasional sniffle.Old Lady Margaret laid a white rose atop the grave. “May peace find you,” she whispered.A week later after Victor's burial, Alex made a decision that sent waves across York State—he stepped down from his role as CEO of Galaxy Empire Group. The news shocked shareholders and the entire business world. Jaxon, initially resistant, eventually took over the throne his twin brother had carried for so long.“I’ll never fill your shoes,” Jaxon said.“You’re not meant to,” Alex replied with a quiet ease. “You’ll d

Chapter: Chapter 179- After The StormOn the rescue vessel...Eve was already rescued by Earl and Rupert—their ship was already near Caroline's, but just as Rupert dispatched the reinforcement team, the cargo ship exploded—leaving only a hell-like wreckage. The ship was completely blown apart.And Eve watched how it blasted in horror. Her knees gave out witnessing as the ship exploded beyond recognition.She clutched her stomach as tears spilled down her cheeks.Her husband was still there! And so was Jaxon and John.“No… Alex!” she screamed—but her voice was lost in the roar.Her head spun—and everything went dark. She couldn't take the pressure anymore.She fainted, falling limp in Earl’s arms.___Eve woke up in an all-white surrounding, and the smell of disinfectant was the first thing that greeted her. Then came the soft beeping of a heart monitor—and she immediately guessed she was in the hospital.Her eyes were still closed—groggy—but she clearly remembered the explosion of the ship last night.And Alex…Her heart

Chapter: Chapter 178- One Last Breath Eve slowly opened her eyes—only to find herself in a dark room. Her head was still fuzzy from the residue of the medicine she had inhaled yesterday.The last thing she remembered, she was having a meal in her suite when she heard someone knocking outside. And when she opened the door, she was knocked out.Her body still ached from her struggle to break free. When her mind finally cleared, her hands immediately flew to her belly.Her child!Fortunately, she didn’t feel anything wrong inside or any pain in her lower abdomen. Her baby was safe.She tried to sit up and scanned her eyes around the whole area—hoping to find some light. But there was nothing out there, only endless darkness.She slowly stood up and walked through the darkness like someone blind, until her hands found a cold metal wall.Where was she?A sudden, bone-chilling coldness crept into her heart. She could hear the faint sound of a whirring engine and the waves of the ocean. If she wasn’t mistaken, she was on a ship.

Chapter: Chapter 177- No One Leaves Alive The air blowing at Blackwater Pier was biting and cold—carrying the strong smell of saltwater.Alex stood there alone, the wind brushing past him as waves hit the docks with steady rhythm. His eyes locked on the dark sea ahead.Somewhere out there, Eve was waiting.Somewhere on a ship that shouldn’t even be there, boarded by the last person he ever wanted to see again—Caroline.Earlier that day, everything had already moved into motion. Daniel had successfully breached their surveillance. The system wasn’t easy to crack, but he got in and found the exact position of the ship. It was a disguised cargo vessel, voyaging back to Finnland. It looked ordinary from a distance, but Daniel’s intel told a different story.It was one of Victor's cargo ships that carried their illegal shipments back and forth. In Daniel's estimation, there must be thirty armed men patrolling it day and night, aside from the ship's crew.Caroline wasn’t playing games this time. She had been plotting this for a whi

Chapter: Chapter 176- To Save Her Life Alex’s grip on his phone tightened at the sound of that venomous voice on the other end. The device pressed against his ear nearly cracked from the pressure.“Caroline…” he said firmly through clenched teeth.A soft, mocking laugh filled the line.“I’m glad you still remember me, my dear stepson.”Alex signaled to Daniel to trace the call, but Caroline was a step ahead.“Don’t bother tracking this call. Even if you had the top hacker in the world, you still wouldn’t find my location,” she said with dripping sarcasm.Alex nearly exploded.“Caroline… if you so much as touch a strand of Evie’s hair, I swear I’ll kill you. This time, I’ll make sure you burn to ashes.”Caroline laughed again—crisp, cruel, and echoing through the line.“Oh Alex, do you think I’m scared of your little threat?” She laughed once more.“I’ve been through hell. I’m not afraid to die. But how about you? Are you ready to exchange your life for the woman you love?”It was an ultimatum.Alex’s fists cracked from how

Chapter: Chapter 175- The War Wasn't Over The moment Victor’s last breath left him and he finally said his last goodbye of acknowledgment, Alex stood beside his brother's dead body in silence for a little while once more—letting the chaos around him dull into a blur.But that quiet didn’t last.He still had to locate wherever his wife had been hidden.Medics had already been evacuating the other guests trapped underground, as well as the dead bodies of Victor's men. When Victor's men’s bodies were already taken away, Alex also followed out of the atrium with Daniel flanking his side.Rupert and John were already outside and talking to the police. When John spotted him, he immediately relayed that the rest of the men had already been dispatched. Without wasting a moment, he gave a single command—short, sharp, and urgent.“Search the Phoenix Hotel. Every floor, every locked room, every goddamn corner. Eve was held there. He said it himself.”John immediately followed and took the lead without another word, while Daniel stayed b
