Claimed by a Ruthless Man After Divorce Chapter 80
“A-Anna?”Celeste’s voice trembled as she stared in disbelief at the woman standing before her, alive and well—the very person she had mourned for so long.But if there was something even more shocking than seeing Anna alive, it was the way she was behaving. Celeste’s eyes widened in terror as Anna suddenly slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stumble and fall onto the cement floor.Her heart pounded with fear. How could such a thing happen in the blink of an eye?Anna’s voice rang out sharply. “Madam, come with me!” She roughly yanked Celeste to her feet and began dragging her down the hallway in a hurry.“What are you doing?! What the hell are you doing?!” Celeste screamed as she tried to break free, but Anna’s grip on her elbow was too strong. She could hardly move under the weight of her wedding gown. “Help!! Someone help!! Lyn!! Lisa!! Val!!”“Shut up!” Anna snapped, turning to face her again, slapping her so hard that Celeste was stunned into silence.Celeste’s heart

The wedding continued despite the earlier chaos, leaving Celeste questioning whether what had happened was real or just a nightmare.From the moment they arrived at the church, walked down the aisle, followed the ceremony, exchanged vows, and even said "I do," she felt like she was floating in mid-air. Everything happened before she could fully comprehend what had been on her mind—the encounter with Anna and the sound of gunfire.The speed at which everything unfolded made it difficult for her to process. No matter how much she tried to calm herself, she couldn’t shake the fear that those people might follow them to this location. If that happened, many innocent people could be caught in the crossfire.Yet, whenever Celeste glanced at Valentina, Luca, or even Lyn and Lisa, they all seemed normal, as if they hadn’t been traumatized by the earlier events. They could still smile, talk to others as usual, and carry on with their duties.“Am I the problem?” she wondered to herself, whisper

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

“Congratulations on winning your case, Mrs. Celeste Lombardi!”“Congratulations, Mrs. Costa-Lombardi!”“May this event mark your flourishing~”“More wins to come for both the Costa and Lombardi families!”Celeste was greeted with a flood of compliments and congratulations after the live broadcast of the court's verdict.She wasn’t only congratulated on her wedding, but also on winning the case against Governor Demetrio Allegra.After mingling with the high-society families, Celeste found an opportunity to make her way to her own family.“Nanay Lordes!” She hugged her mother tightly, finally reunited after such a long time apart.Lordes laughed joyfully. “Oh, my child! I’m so proud of you, Celeste.” She returned the hug just as tightly, then held her face with shining eyes. “You did it, my child. Finally, that old demon is in prison!”Celeste laughed softly and shook her head. “Nanay, we did it. I couldn’t have done this alone. We did it together. You don’t have to worry about the prov

"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?

When Celeste and Felip returned to the main building, they were both caught off guard by a commotion.“Waah! Why are you doing this to me, Semion? You told me I was special! You said we had something special!” A woman was crying, clinging to Semion’s waist.“Oh my god! She did not!”“She’s had way too much to drink; that’s why!”“She’s been drinking all night; no wonder she’s lost it!”Celeste’s eyebrows slowly knitted together as she walked towards the crowd. She observed the scene unfolding before her.Semion had his arms raised in the air, one of which was holding a drink. He placed it on a passing waiter’s tray, clearly displeased by the situation.“Please, let go, Jessa.” Semion used one hand to push away the woman who was clinging to him, practically burying her entire body against his.“I-I waited! Huhu, I waited for years after that night! I believed you’d come back for me! But why did you marry someone else? And why did you marry a woman who was already taken by another man?!

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

"Hey, Luca! You're not allowed to drink alcohol, you're still underage!" Settie grabbed the drink from the young boy. "I'll tell on you to your sister, I’m warning you! And look, your parents are just at the other table!""They won't care even if you do." Luca shrugged indifferently, snatching the glass back from her and gulping down the alcohol."Oh no!" Settie exclaimed. Being in a wheelchair, she couldn't reach the glass that Luca held out of her reach. "Alcohol is bad for a kid's body!""I'm not a kid anymore!" Luca snapped like a spoiled brat. "Don't you know, I even protected my sister-in-law from assassins? So what makes you think I can't handle alcohol?""Huh? Assassins? Are you talking about those in online games?" Settie raised an eyebrow, looking up at the tall boy. Even though he was only thirteen, he was already as tall as a fifteen-year-old, likely the result of being well-nourished. If Settie could stand, her 5'2" height would be dwarfed by this kid! For the first time,

Anna quickly turned around, pulling Danica away from the dangerous scene. They ran as fast as they could, her desperate need to escape the forest pushing her forward. The faint light ahead told her they were nearly out—the low clouds overhead slowly beginning to disperse.But even as they moved, her mind swirled with confusion. Killian’s words kept echoing in her thoughts, and she couldn’t make sense of them. How could he be willing to kill to save her life? Tears welled up in her eyes. She had been wrong. She had misjudged him. Killian wasn’t like Primo Alessandro. Just because he was a Lombardi didn’t mean he was an enemy. Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden, blood-curdling scream: "UNCLE, NO!!"Without thinking, Anna stopped running and turned. She knew exactly who the voice belonged to.But before she could even react, a loud gunshot echoed through the air. A searing pain ripped through her shoulder, and she stumbled, feeling the blood begin to trickle down her arm. She ba

"No! No, no, no!!" Danica’s voice broke with desperation as she dropped to her knees in front of her. "No, Anna, I won’t do it! I—I can't!" Her gaze shifted to Primo Alessandro, filled with defiance, as she stood up. "Who the hell are you to do this?! Do you really think I’ll play your disgusting game?!""Danica," Anna called out firmly, standing up beside her. Her voice was steady, but the uncertainty that gripped her heart was clear in her eyes.Primo Alessandro stood up abruptly, his sudden movement sending a chill through the air as he swiftly pulled out a gun, aiming it directly at her. Anna’s eyes widened as she instinctively took a step back."Primo," KIllian’s voice rang out, his grip firm as he seized his uncle’s arm, halting him mid-action."What!" Alessandro snapped, grabbing Killian’s arm in turn, but Killian didn’t even flinch.Their actions drew the attention of everyone in the room. Killian's gaze, full of intensity, was locked on his uncle. He gripped Primo Alessandro’

"Déjà vu." Primo Alessandro's smile was maddening.Anna could hear every beat of her heart, so loud it felt deafening. The wind’s chill brushed over her hands and feet, sending a strange shiver through her body. Her skin prickled, refusing to settle, as she stood frozen, her eyes wide open and fixed on him. Her breath was heavy as she stared into his eyes, and memories of seventeen years ago came rushing back.The pounding in her chest screamed with fury, a fury born from his murder of her parents. The memory of his men beating her mother was still fresh in her mind. The sound of the gunshot that ended her mother’s life echoed in her ears."We've met again," Primo Alessandro said, his smile dripping with the promise of death.Anna couldn’t speak. Her tears had dried up, but the sharpness of her glare remained, piercing through him. If her glare were made of knives, his head would have been severed from his neck by now.He hadn't changed at all in appearance or posture. But the gray in

The loud commotion pulled her out of a restless sleep. Anna's eyes snapped open, her head pounding and her vision blurry. It took her a moment to realize she had fallen asleep on the cold, hard floor of her room the previous night.Her sluggish thoughts were quickly jolted into clarity by an ear-splitting explosion that shook the entire mansion. The tremor was so violent it felt as though the earth itself had shifted beneath her.What’s happening?She bolted upright, twisting the doorknob and stepping out into the hallway. Her ears rang with the deafening sound of gunfire, and her breath hitched as she peered down the staircase. Smoke engulfed the mansion like a suffocating shroud.Her eyes widened in horror. Men clad in all-black tactical gear swarmed the premises—uncannily similar to the Lombardi’s men. She froze on the spot, watching as the Costas guards exchanged relentless gunfire with the intruders.“A-are those…?” She covered her mouth, a trembling hand betraying her growing p

Decades ago, when she was only six years old, Anna vividly remembered the night her life changed forever.It was late evening when she arrived home from school, walking alone because she had assumed someone would pick her up. Innocent and unaware, she returned to find their house in chaos.Scattered belongings littered the floor, shards of broken glass crunched under her small shoes, and droplets of blood painted a chilling path across the ground. Still clad in her uniform, her bag slung over her shoulder, she froze in the doorway, her voice trembling as she called out.“Mama?”“Mama? Mama!” Her cries echoed as she searched the house, growing more desperate with each unanswered call. The sound of a baby’s wailing drew her to one of the rooms. There, she found her infant sister, Danica, locked inside a wardrobe.“Danica!” she gasped, her shock momentarily paralyzing her. Without hesitation, she scooped her into her arms. The baby babbled incoherently, managing only, “A... A!”—her attem

"Can you please just stop?!"After an hour of non-stop crying from the baby, Chiarra couldn't handle the frustration anymore. She clutched the infant in her arms even tighter, which only made the baby wail louder."Enough! Enough! Stop it!" Overwhelmed by the incessant noise, she nearly dug her fingers into the small, swaddled body of her child. Her eyes filled with tears, no longer sure what to do to make the crying stop.The exhaustion from sleepless nights spent caring for her baby, combined with the constant arguments with Darson, left her drained and on edge every day. Because of this, all her pent-up anger and frustration were taken out on the maids in the mansion—and on her own child."I told you to stop already! I can’t take this anymore! Please, just give me a break!" Chiarra pleaded tearfully, her voice shaking with both rage and desperation as she yelled at the baby."M-Madam… I'll take care of Chrystal for you. Please, just get some rest—""If I could, I already would have

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

Celeste leaned back against the wall as she sat on the low cabinet. The items that were neatly stacked there earlier were now scattered across the floor.Her heartbeat was as rapid as her breaths as she watched Semion’s head between her parted legs.This was the second time he had lowered himself like that in front of her. She was used to seeing Semion with his head held high, as if he never bowed to anyone. But now, the scene before her was the complete opposite.There was something in her feelings she couldn’t explain, despite the darkness enveloping the room and the single dim light providing scant illumination.He was torridly kissing her intimate parts, just like how he had kissed her lips earlier. Hungry and thirsty for her essence.“Ahhh… Ummm, ahhh!” The heat was overwhelming. She was leaking slick fluids that mingled with Semion’s lips and tongue. The addicting sound only ignited every muscle in her body.She gasped for air as Semion spread her long legs further apart. The on

“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
