Lahat ng Kabanata ng Claimed by a Ruthless Man After Divorce: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

The lights glittered in the luxurious hall that night, with soft music echoing throughout the venue and delicious dishes on every guest's table. It seemed everyone was enjoying the party after the long wedding ceremony. Every corner of the room was filled with laughter and conversation, where the newlyweds were the stars of the night.Before long, Semion stood up from their table, took a wireless microphone handed to him by a host, and walked to the center of the stage. The guests gradually quieted down, their attention already focused on him, eager to hear what he had to say. Celeste remained seated, smiling at her husband, feeling reassured by Semion after what had happened.As always, Semion wore his usual aura when facing people, a beautiful smile gracing his lips, hiding any trace of his true nature. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for being here tonight,” he began. “Your presence on this important day means so much to my wife, Celeste, and me. However, our union isn’t the o

"What do you mean, Felip?" Celeste asked curiously.Felip let out a harsh breath, his concern evident in his expression. "When I first saw you walking down the aisle earlier, I expected to see that sweet smile on your face, the one you have when you're truly happy. But from then until now, I haven't seen you smile once. You also made several mistakes during the wedding ceremony, and you're usually such a perfectionist. It's like you were in another world."Celeste fell silent."And your gown—yeah, it was beautiful, but why did it look damp and dirty? It's like no one else noticed there was something wrong with the bride. Not even your husband seemed to care. He was grinning like a fool, and I felt like smacking him."Celeste inhaled sharply and shook her head. "It's not what you think, Felip. You're misinterpreting everything. Everything's fine—""I'm worried about you because it's obvious you're not okay," Felip said, his brows furrowing. "Tell me the truth. Did something bad happen?

Semion was too stunned to speak. His eyes struggled to meet Celeste’s suspicious gaze. His mouth opened, but no words came out. Instead, he swallowed hard, trying to clear his throat.He straightened up, turning his attention to the people around them before finally responding to Celeste’s lingering question. “Jessa was just another woman I met years ago. Whatever happened between us will stay in the past.” He attempted to smile but faltered when he looked back at Celeste. “Wife, I’m not hiding anything from you. Whatever you ask me, I’ll answer truthfully.”From the change in Celeste’s expression, Semion realized she wasn’t pleased with his answer.“If that’s the case, I’ll ask you now.” Celeste faced him seriously. “What about me? Do I belong to ‘another woman you just met’? In the future, will I just be someone who stays in your past?”“What?” Semion was caught off guard, his brows furrowing in surprise. “Celeste, of course not. You’re my wife now. Okay, I know our marriage started

“S-Semion…”Celeste gasped as Semion’s soft lips descended on her neck. Biting her lower lip, she dug her nails into the luxurious fabric of his black coat.“Mmhhmmp!” She couldn't help but moan at the sensations coursing through her.The room was dark, perhaps because as soon as they entered, Semion had seized her with a kiss, like a thirsty stranger.Her plan to shower and change into comfortable clothes was quickly forgotten due to what Semion was doing to her body.His large hand slid up her dress, moving toward her underwear. Semion’s fingers pressed down on her lower body with a mixture of intensity and possessiveness. Celeste felt it acutely when he suddenly bit her neck!“Ahh!” She cried out in pain, her throat dry as she gasped for breath.“My wife,” Semion’s warm breath invaded her ear, making her shiver and raising the hair on her arms. “I want to mark you as mine…” He kissed the spot he had bitten. “Just for me…” He licked the mark. “All mine.” His teeth brushed against he

Celeste woke up the next morning feeling like she had just competed in a championship sport the night before—her body was sore and battered.She rubbed her eyes, stretching and turning her gaze to the man beside her, who was holding her tightly.Sunlight was streaming onto his handsome face. It was no longer the early morning peek but rather noon.She lifted her weak arm to smooth out Semion's thick, disheveled hair. Her eyes traced his prominent brows and long eyelashes. She ran her fingertip down his high nose and over his thin lips.Then she realized Semion was awake, as he couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile. His cheeks also rose, trying to fight returning to their usual state.Unable to help herself, she smiled and closed her eyes. “S-Se…” She stopped, her voice hoarse, likely from all the shouting and cheering from the previous night’s joy. “Are… um, have you been awake for a while?”“No.” His eyes remained closed.She tried to remove Semion’s heavy a
