Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE : Bab 1 - Bab 10

THE CRUELEST BETRAYAL Aurora couldn't tear her gaze away from the pregnancy test clutched in her hand as tears blurred her vision. She was laughing and crying all at once, unable to believe a tiny life was growing inside her. Her joy was beyond words. She had suspected it after missing her period for two months, but now there was no doubt. Aurora placed a hand on her flat stomach and let out a soft sigh as visions of a beautiful future filled her mind. Excited, Aurora cut her business trip short and rushed home to surprise her fiancé with the news. The flight was only three hours, but it felt agonizingly long. She just wanted to be home. The moment she arrived in Milan, she didn't waste a second. She hailed a cab and went straight to Adrian's office. She grinned at everyone who greeted her along the way, happiness sparkling in her eyes as she reached the CEO's office on the nineteenth floor. "Miss Bennett, you can't go in. Aurora narrowed her eyes at her fiancé's broad-shouldere

THE END Aurora stood motionless in front of her mother's grave while a funeral service took place in the distance. Tears filled her eyes, blurring her mother's name on the headstone, but she held back her emotions. She had come to ask her mother for strength, not to break down like a helpless girl. "I've hired a lawyer. Your dream will come true, Mom," she said firmly. The betrayal from her fiancé and family had shattered her heart, but it had not broken her spirit. Aurora was ready to fight every single one of them. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect the last thing you left for me, but I'm going to fight back now." She took a deep breath as a cold breeze brushed against her skin. "I love you," she whispered, bending down to place flowers on her mother's grave. She suddenly froze when she heard a low groan followed by heavy, ragged breathing behind the headstone. Aurora frowned. She tightened her grip on the stems and cautiously stepped around the marble monument to look. A badly woun

NEW JOB Aurora wanted to scream in pain, but no sound escaped her throat. The thick reek of gasoline and blood filled her senses as her chest seized up, making every breath an agonizing struggle. She tried to lift her hands, but her body felt shattered. Opening her eyes, horror seized her at the sight of her own blood pooling across the wrecked interior of the car. "No!" Aurora gasped, snapping her eyes open as she bolted upright in bed. Sweat drenched her nightgown, her heart hammering wildly against her ribs as her eyes swept over her modest bedroom. "It was just a nightmare, Aurora... just a nightmare," she whispered, dragging a trembling hand across her forehead. The nightmare hadn't haunted her like this in a long time. But going to bed with that blue-eyed billionaire on her mind had reopened old wounds. His questions about Florence had rattled her to the core. Her physical injuries had healed years ago, but the emotional scars remained raw. She still remembered waking up

ALESSANDRO DE LUCA Aurora shook her head. "No. We can discuss it right here, outside the car." Before she could finish speaking or even react Dante shoved her into the backseat and slammed the door shut. "Open this door right now, Mr. Moretti, or I will scream," she shrieked, hammering her fist against the window. "Be quiet and sit down. This isn't Alessandro's office, and he isn't here to shield you," Leonardo snarled. "It wouldn't take me a second to end your life, Aurora." "Mr. Moretti—" She forced herself to take a breath, desperate to stay calm. Leonardo observed her with a cold, calculating nod. There was something Aurora had that he wanted, and he intended to take it by any means necessary. When he had dispatched a hand to investigate her, expecting to find her wrapped up in an affair with Alessandro, he had discovered something far more valuable. This woman was hiding a child. Her child. Leonardo's heir. His grandson. His own blood. The revelation had caught Leonard

MARRY ME Alessandro De Luca leaned back in his leather chair and fixed Aurora with a cold, unreadable stare. His mind was still processing the sudden revelation that she was the mother of a five-year-old child. What the hell happened over the past six years, and who is the bastard that fathered her child? He would find out soon enough. "Five minutes of your allotted twenty are already gone, Miss Perez," Alessandro stated, his voice deep and commandingly smooth. "Did you request this meeting merely to sit in my office like a statue, or do you plan on speaking?" Aurora pulled her gaze away from her trembling hands and looked up at him. Her thoughts raced as she tried to map out her plea. Should she jump straight to the truth? Time was slipping away, and she couldn't afford to waste another second wondering how to soften the blow. "I’m sorry, Mr. De Luca," she murmured, her voice soft and strained. "I was thinking." Alessandro narrowed his blue eyes, tapping a long finger against
