All Chapters of Claimed by a Ruthless Man After Divorce: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Inside Semion's office, the only sound breaking the silence was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the desk. His gaze was fixed intently on Celeste, who squirmed under his scrutiny, feeling the weight of embarrassment. Semion lounged back in his chair, one hand propped up, and she couldn’t decipher his expression."Um..." She couldn’t muster the courage to meet his gaze. "I-I’m sorry... I thought it was all just a dream. I didn’t mean to. I apologize for barging into the bar room without permission and messing with your expensive alcohol. I’m really sorry for being rude and even vomiting on you! I’m truly sorry!"If she could have sunk into the floor out of embarrassment, she would have. But she had no choice but to face the consequences of her shameless behavior from the previous night. Semion sighed. "How are you feeling?""Huh?" She blinked for a moment, then looked up at him. "I’m okay. Thank you for understanding and for your staff’s proper treatment. I appreciate it.""Are y

Celeste's pause lingered after hearing Semion's words. She had been mulling them over, wondering if he was genuinely serious about his marriage proposal.She gasped, her earlier attempts to stifle her sobs coming to an abrupt halt."Marriage?" she uttered, incredulous. "Do you realize what marrying me would mean for you?"In truth, Celeste no longer cared about what Semion asked of her after he helped her. If it meant sacrificing her own dignity as a woman, she'd let him claim her, as long as she could exact her desired revenge. Because all she had left to offer was herself.But marriage hadn't crossed her mind. Firstly, what decent man would marry someone who'd been previously married? Secondly, what respectable heir of an influential family would marry someone from a fallen background like hers? Thirdly, didn't he realize she couldn't bear children, even if he wanted to have an heir with her? But wouldn't it be more fitting for him to marry someone else?Many questions raced through

Celeste entrusted all the arrangements for their legal marriage to Semion. He took the lead in sorting out their paperwork.All of Celeste's belongings left at the Allegra mansion were promptly returned to her on the same night of her attack on the Allegra mansion.Celeste was immensely grateful to Semion for that. Even though the Allegas didn't return a single cent to her besides her belongings."Seniora~ Lyn and I will take care of your belongings to move them to your new bedroom with Primo Semion!" Melissa, the new personal maid chosen by Celeste herself, said cheerfully."Oh, Seniora, please don't help, because it's our job with Lisa," Kaitlyn, Semion's chosen personal maid for Celeste, replied carefully, making it clear that there were two people following her orders now."What else could I do?" she smiled. "Alright, I'll entrust my belongings to you.""Yes!" the two eagerly responded and immediately got to work.She watched the two women, with lithe bodies, carrying her lightwei

Semion's encounter with his elder sister Valentina was like facing a monster. First, because he grew up being beaten by her without being able to retaliate. Second, because it was always a pain to listen to her scold him, and third, because she was just plain tough.But now, in front of him, ever since Celeste arrived, Valentina seemed like a gentle lamb."What's wrong with you?" Semion couldn't help but ask the woman. "Don't tell me you're planning to court my wife?"He expected her to yell at him, but Valentina remained calm, her attention focused on Celeste."I've never seen you before, what's your name?" her usually loud voice softened.Semion's lips twisted in disbelief. "You're a pretentious monster!"They paid no attention to him."I'm Celeste," Celeste replied shyly but sweetly."Celeste, what a beautiful name," he said. "I know Celeste means heavenly; it suits you well. Especially since you look like an angel."Celeste's cheeks turned pink. "Th-Thank you, Val.""What the heck

“Don’t be ridiculous, Mom! Why would I kiss my wife in front of you?”“Why not? There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, next time you'll be kissing each other in front of the altar and many people.”“But…” Semion objected. “We're not really in the mood for what you're suggesting right now. And besides, there's a minor here!” He pointed to Luca.“I'll cover his eyes.” Valentina quickly covered Luca's eyes.“Hey! I'm not a child anymore! I want to see it too!”Semion furrowed his brow. “Seriously? Are you all really going to make us kiss here and now?”“Son,” Semion's father spoke seriously. “Just do it and be done with it already. So we can peacefully eat and leave. Give them what they're asking for; it's not a big deal.”“Right, right,” Valentina agreed. “Besides, with your history as a playboy, doing this basic thing shouldn't be hard.”“I've changed,” Semion insisted. “You know what? I love my wife even if we don't want to do what you're telling us to do---hmp!”With that, Semion's
