All Chapters of Claimed by a Ruthless Man After Divorce: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Both Semion and Celeste's eyes widened in surprise at Darson's outburst. They couldn't believe the audacity he was displaying underneath the shallow stage.Darson's face was unreadable as he looked up, particularly at his wife. "Celeste! Don't make me repeat it twice. Don't wait for me to drag you out of this place!""What...?" Celeste's heart raced with anxiety. Yes, she wanted to surprise him tonight. She wanted to show him that she wasn't an abandoned woman! But it never crossed her mind that he would suddenly lower himself to make a scene before she could even reveal her status to the Lombardi family.The guests were visibly shocked. Everyone gasped and widened their eyes. The tension in the room was palpable! Who could predict that what should have been a joyful party tonight would be filled with such anticipation.A deafening silence blanketed the area for almost ten seconds. Even the orchestra, which had been playing music peacefully just moments ago, fell silent and focused on

“Tonight has certainly been surprising, wouldn't you agree, Primo Semion, Miss Celeste?” General Basque displayed an uncomfortable smile in front of Semion and Celeste. “Just recently, Primo Semion was considered another top bachelor—without any rumors circulating about the woman he was courting.”Semion responded with a smirk, full of arrogance. “Most likely, many will try to meddle in our relationship if I openly court Celeste. Not to mention how many women are vying for my attention.”“Ah…” the old general grimaced. “Indeed. Unfortunately, it seems the heir of the Allegra family has taken a negative view of your relationship. It's only right to remove him from this gathering early before the disturbance escalates.”“He'll surely be bitter after this,” Semion didn't hide the sour expression on his face. “Celeste's right, some dogs just don't know when and where to bark.” When Semion glanced at Celeste, her expression softened. “My wife-to-be is so brave. I'm falling even more in lov

"Luca, where's your brother and Celeste?" Isabella, Luca's mom, furrowed her brow as she approached the table where Luca was seated.Luca, who was eating pasta and had been observing the events inside the ballroom, responded promptly. "They went up to the third floor, probably to their room.""Oh? The party isn't over yet; they still need to say goodbye to our guests since they're the hosts here. Have they been gone for long?""About thirty minutes ago. Maybe they're feeling sick because they drank too much. I heard they had several shots of the strongest alcohol in the world," Luca added, pondering. "I wonder when I will taste it too?""What?" Isabella's eyes widened. "How did that alcohol end up at their party? And how will they end this if they suddenly disappear?""I don't know why you're asking me, Mom? You and Dad are here. You can take over."Isabella let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll go check on them. Your dad is tired too, and he's been resting since earlier. I don't want to fac

The sun's rays peeked into the room where Semion and Celeste lay entwined on the bed. Both of them were naked, a bit sticky but very comfortable in that position.When Celeste moved and attempted to turn over to face Semion, he didn't allow her to move, instead, his arms tightened around her body."Mmm," Celeste complained in her sleep, trying to figure out what weight was pressing on her and preventing her from moving.Not only that, she felt her body as if it had been run over by a truck, particularly her private parts. Sticky and uncomfortable, she wanted to take a shower to feel refreshed."Don't move, sleep more," a soft, sleepy voice whispered in her ear as her face was nuzzled into a firm chest and a heavy leg was draped over her side."Uhm!" Celeste couldn't breathe properly and finally became aware. "I-I can't breathe! It's heavy!" She tapped on the man's chest, arms, and back."Hm?" Because of that, Semion also opened his eyes and loosened his embrace on the woman slightly.

"Formal invitations for our wedding have been sent out one by one." Semion stated with a blank expression. "The Allegra family is included. Here's the list of invitees. Do you have anyone else you'd like to add?"Celeste read through the pieces of paper containing the names of the guests invited to their wedding. Her fake friends were there, as well as the people who had once looked down on her when her family fell apart."Um, Semion, if it's possible, I'd like to invite a few more people to the wedding.""Sure, who are they?" Semion leaned back on the black couch in the living room."They're farmers from our family. Because I've been mourning so much in the past years and months, I haven't been able to check on them. I don't want them to think that the Costas have completely disappeared while I'm still here. They're almost like family to us, so I want this wedding to be more than just a show." Celeste explained."Hmm, sure. Should I send them an invitation letter as well, or do you w
