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 70- The Night He Finally BrokeGrayson didn’t remember how he ended up at Dylan’s bar.What he only remembered was him slamming the door behind him when he left Aurora's room at the hospital. Her trembling voice… eyes swollen from crying… And her final words sliced through him like a thorned leash.‘Whatever we had… it’s over. Completely.’Those words chased him like a shadow he couldn’t outrun.Now he sat slumped over the velvet couch of their private lounge, shoulders heavy, breath uneven. His usually sharp, cold gaze was gone—replaced by something hollow and broken.Dylan watched him quietly from across the table, a deep frown pulling at his brows. He had seen Grayson angry, ruthless, violent… but never like this.“Brother,” Dylan said carefully, sliding him another glass. “Slow down. You’re going to knock yourself out at this rate.”Grayson didn’t even look up. He lifted the glass with a shaking hand and swallowed it in one go.“I want to forget,” he muttered, voice low and hoarse. “Just for tonight.”“Forget w

Chapter: Chapter 69- Nothing Left To Save All eyes turned to the source of the voice.Aurora blinked in surprise.“Julian?”He stood by the door, holding a basket of fruit and a bouquet of white lilies. His gaze fell on her worn-down, pale appearance as she sat weakly on the bed.Then his sharp gaze shifted back to Natalie, his expression turning dim.The moment of silence stretched on.But Natalie broke it with her scornful scoff.“Oh, great. Now it's the young master of the Collins family,” she smirked, then turned back to Aurora. "You know what Aurora, I really admire how you easily seduce men.”Julian’s expression turned cold as he looked over Natalie.“I would’ve asked if I'm exactly facing the real Ms. Smith, as the person I'm talking right now is completely the opposite,” Julian

Chapter: Chapter 68- Grief and Poison Morning didn’t arrive in golden streaks or gentle warmth.It came with sterile light seeping through half-closed blinds, bathing Aurora’s skin and creating a halo.Her body felt anchored to the bed—not by pain or sedation, but by something heavier, like her soul was still trying to return to her.Her hand was warm.That’s what she noticed first.When her eyes finally opened, the first thing she saw was Grayson.He looked like he hadn’t moved from his seat in a long time.He sat by her bedside with his fingers still wrapped around hers, head slightly bowed, while his other hand rested on his knee. He looked nothing like the Grayson Moore the world knew—the cold, untouchable billionaire with steel in his veins.No, the man beside her looked... wrecked.His jaw was unshaven. His eyes were shadowed and swollen from lack of sleep. His suit was wrinkled, his tie loosened, and his shoulders were hunched like the weight of the world had finally become too much to bear.He had been there. The

Chapter: Chapter 67 – Wrath of a Broken ManGrayson stormed down the hospital hallway like a king of execution—ready to punish the one who dared to cross him. His fists were clenched the entire time, jaw firmly locked, and his entire body was burning with one single need—To see the woman who had pushed the timid Aurora over the edge.The moment he reached the door to Natalie’s private suite, he didn’t hesitate or even bother to knock. He shoved it open so hard that the hinges groaned sharply.Natalie sat on the bed with her legs dangling over the edge, scrolling through her phone as if nothing had happened.As if the blood staining the halls of his life didn’t matter.She looked up, startled by the harsh sound. But her eyes lit up as she quickly set her phone aside and rose.“Grayson,” she called out, soft and trembling—putting on the same pitiful expression she always used when trying to win him over. “You came to see me..”She took a step forward, reaching out as if throwing herself into his arms like she always did.But she

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 84 — Calculated Silence
~ ALISTAIR ~The CEO’s office had never felt this tight before.I sat calmly in my chair, fingers resting lightly against the wooden desk, my eyes sharply fixed on the financial report projected onto the laptop Evan was showing me.One of the three minority shareholders under the Montgomery Group umbrella had already sold his shares—quietly, efficiently. Not to a third party. Not to a proxy firm.But to Rebecca herself.My jaw almost broke from clenching it so hard, though my expression didn’t change.I had anticipated that Rebecca’s scheme would eventually take place. She had already fooled Albert into transferring the shares to her with alarming ease. That foolish man. I still didn’t know what Rebecca had fed him to make him so stupid as to trust his venomous wife.And now, Rebecca was aiming for the remaining fifteen percent of the company’s shares, because if she succeeded, she would take over my position.However, what angered me more was that the person Grandma and I had believe

~ ISLA ~I stepped out of the greenhouse, the warm scent of damp soil still clinging to me, but my mind was ice.My legs moved on their own, carrying me toward the path back to the living room—but on my way, I nearly collided with someone.Liana.She stood there with her arms crossed loosely, her mouth curved in that familiar smug smirk she always wore when she thought she was one step ahead of me. One glance at her eyes—bright with triumph, dripping with satisfaction—and I knew.She heard.She heard everything. My hand clenched around the envelope—tight.“Well, well… look who finally came home,” she purred, tilting her head as if she were genuinely delighted. “Dear sister.”The words came out like she was tasting something bitter, then enjoying it anyway.I didn’t have the energy for her games right now. Not when the truth inside me still felt raw and bleeding.I moved past her without a word.But she followed. Of course she did—the Bennetts never knew when to stop pushing.Her heels

Chapter: Chapter 82 — Raised For A Price ~ ISLA ~The greenhouse fell into a suffocating silence.The air smelled of damp soil and roses—warm and sweet—but there was a pressure in my chest that made it hard to breathe. Bethany waited, pruning shears loosely held between her fingers. Her posture stayed elegant, composed, but there was a subtle shift in her expression.I didn’t bother easing into it. I didn’t have the strength for subtlety anymore.I met her eyes and asked, quietly but clearly—“Are you my biological mother?”The question hung in the air as if filled with thorns, pricking at our skin.Bethany’s hands paused. Her eyes couldn’t look straight at me anymore—but I saw through her already by. That tiny flicker in her expression, something sharp and quick, like fear she tried to swallow before it could show.Then she blinked, her face smoothing over too carefully.“What are you talking about?” she countered, her tone still calm, almost bland. “I am your mother. What nonsense are you spouting?”A practiced lie—meant t

Chapter: CHAPTER 81 — Where the Truth Begins
~ ISLA ~My head was still buzzing long after our conversation ended.It felt like my thoughts were trying to rearrange themselves into something coherent but kept slipping apart, refusing to settle. Every step I took out of the private lounge with Antonio and Luca felt distant, like I was walking underwater, my mind far behind my body.Outside, the chilled afternoon air brushed against my skin, grounding me only a little.Antonio stopped beside me, his expression gentler than I had ever seen it.“I’ll take you back to the hospital,” he said.The offer was naturally soft—nothing like the powerful, intimidating man everyone spoke about. For a heartbeat, he simply looked like a father hoping to take care of his daughter.But I couldn’t do it. I was still processing everything, and it may take time for me to completely understand and accept my real identity.“I appreciate it,” I murmured, “but I can go on my own.”He didn’t insist. He didn’t even look disappointed—just quietly accepting.

They just hung in the air—heavy, impossible, and so wrong.‘She’s your mother…’Everything inside me froze.My fingers tightened around the photographs without me realizing it. The edges dug into my skin, but I couldn’t feel anything. My heartbeat wasn’t even beating—it was pounding, erratic, confused.I blinked, staring at him.“What—what did you say?” I whispered, the words barely scraping out of my throat.He didn’t flinch. He didn’t hesitate. His voice remained calm, but there was a quiet pain beneath it.“Allison Reed,” he repeated slowly, “is your biological mother.”For a moment, the room felt too bright and quiet.Biological mother.The words didn’t fit me. They didn’t belong anywhere in the life I had known. Because that wasn’t possible.“I—I don’t understand.” My voice trembled. “How? That can’t be—my mother is Bethany Bennett.

What was this guy doing here so suddenly?“Dr. Bennett,” he immediately stood when he spotted me and greeted me with a small nod. “Good afternoon.”My pulse stumbled. “Mr. Bianchi?”I hadn’t seen him since the incident at the hotel.

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?

The news shocked shareholders and the entire business world.

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

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

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.
