After Alistair wakes from his coma, everything spirals out of control. Liana returns to reclaim him, and Isla is thrust into a dangerous war between love, obsession, and old betrayals.
But nothing could prepare her for the truth of who she really is—and the secret powerful enough to shatter everything she’s ever known.
And when Alistair discovers that truth…
will his love be enough to save them both?
Or will it destroy her in the end?

Chapter: CHAPTER 109 — Familiar Eyes~ ISLA ~The car rolled up the familiar driveway after long hours on the road, and the fresh New Jersey air brushed against my cheeks as we stepped out.Ahead, Grandma’s house stood modest but warm, the early winter sun reflecting off the windows.My heart raced with anticipation. The last time we were here was for her birthday. And the thought that this was the place where I had finally become Alistair’s woman made my cheeks warm.More than anything, though, I couldn’t wait to see my grandmother.Evan began hauling the bags from the front seat, then moved to the trunk for the boxes Alistair had insisted on bringing.I turned to Alistair, who was already adjusting his coat, his expression calm but expectant.“Ready?” he asked softly.I nodded with a bright smile. “Let’s go.”We walked up the steps together, hand in hand. Before reaching the door, I called out excitedly, “Grandma!”No one answered. I was about to press the doorbell when the door suddenly swung open—but it wasn’t my gra

Chapter: CHAPTER 108 — Responsibility~ ISLA ~Weekend mornings felt different. Quieter and lighter.Evan drove smoothly along the highway toward New Jersey, the bustling city slowly fading behind us. The skyline grew smaller in the rearview mirror, replaced by open roads and stretches of winter trees.Beside me, Alistair was unusually relaxed. One hand rested on my lap, while the other scrolled through his phone occasionally. In the front seat and the trunk were neatly arranged gift boxes—expensive tea sets, silk shawls, imported pastries, and even a new massage chair he had insisted on ordering for Grandma.“She’ll scold you for spending too much,” I muttered, glancing at the pile.My grandmother had never cared much for material things. But Alistair had gone all out this time. Although these things were barely a cent of his wealth, it was still overwhelming.He smirked faintly. “She’ll scold me and then brag about it to her neighbors.”I couldn’t help but smile. He wasn’t wrong about it. The last time they met, Grandma

Chapter: CHAPTER 107 — Regrets~ ISLA ~The coffee shop was anything but cold.Or maybe it was just me.Bethany sat across from me at a small round table near the window. Afternoon light filtered through the glass, soft and golden, but it did nothing to ease the tension between us.This was the first time she didn’t look intimidating. She looked… diminished. Her polished composure had been replaced with a humble demeanor. And it felt strange seeing her this way. I wasn’t used to it. I couldn’t help but wonder if she was deliberately presenting herself like this so I would soften toward her.I kept my back straight as I looked at her, maintaining a neutral expression. “What did you mean when you said this is about my mother?”Her throat moved as she swallowed, gripping the cup of coffee she hadn’t touched.“You deserve to know the truth,” she said quietly.A cold smile touched my lips, but deep inside, my heart skipped a beat. “That would be new.”She took a deep breath before speaking. “Your mother… she was my sis

Chapter: CHAPTER 106 — What was Hidden~ ISLA ~Lunch with Alistair felt nothing short of warm and comforting.For two hours, I sat across from him, feeling like a queen as he served me different dishes. Each of his movements was careful and elegant, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him.Even now, everything still feels surreal. From the moment I was sold by my family to the most powerful family in New York, I had expected to suffer at Alistair’s hands. But what happened was the complete opposite. I was pampered and protected by the very merciless billionaire everyone had warned me about.Lunch went on, and we talked only about ordinary things—his plans for the weekend, surprising Grandma, small details that felt almost domestic.I was already beaming at the thought of it.This was the first time I had truly seen Alistair’s considerate side without the shadow of business looming over him. I secretly wished we could stay this way forever, though I knew it was impossible for us.After lunch, reality returned. I had to go back

Chapter: CHAPTER 105 — Between Power and Love~ ISLA ~I still couldn’t process what had just happened.The boardroom. The letter. The fifteen percent shares. And my name written on that piece of paper.My mind buzzed as the realization finally hit me. I had walked into that room as nothing more than Alistair’s “contracted” wife. I had walked out as a new shareholder of Montgomery Group. And I didn’t even understand how.Alistair guided me quietly down the hallway toward his office after the meeting ended. The employees we passed lowered their heads respectfully. A few even offered hesitant congratulations.To me. But it felt misplaced.When we entered his office and the doors closed softly behind us, the silence suddenly felt heavier than it had in the boardroom. His office was massive—but somehow, it felt more intimidating than personal space ever should feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entirety of New York, the afternoon glow spilling across the marble-tiled floors.And there I was, standing beside his executive c

Chapter: CHAPTER 104 — Checkmate~ ALISTAIR ~The silence after my words did not last long.Mr. Taylor stepped fully into the room, his presence alone calm yet commanding. The two legal representatives accompanying him remained near the door—quiet but unmistakably official.He placed the leather portfolio on the table and adjusted his cufflinks before speaking.“For those who may not know me,” he began, his tone professional and measured, “I am Attorney William Taylor, legal counsel to the old Lady Margot and the late Mr. Albert Montgomery.”At the mention of Lady Margot’s name, several directors straightened subtly. But what amused me most was Rebecca’s reaction.The color drained slightly from her face. She looked completely unprepared for William’s sudden appearance.My grandmother had always been cautious when it came to our family’s assets. That elderly woman had been sharper than anyone in this room. She must have foreseen this battle over inheritance long before it began.Although the Montgomerys had several l

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.

She was meant to be his weapon, not his weakness. Love was never part of the plan.

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

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

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

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

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. 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.
