Celine's POV:I was anxious when I went into my room to meet Jace and invited him for dinner.I knew that Jace wasn't going to keep his hands to himself.I truly missed him, and I felt bad hearing his side of the story.It felt good knowing that I had a big influence on him, and he thought so much about me, even when I didn't want to get back with him.He was still holding on to the hope of finding me again.Jace came out of my room, dressed in a white robe and black shorts. He then came to the dining table to join me, Kaleb, and Kevin for dinner.Kaleb and Kevin looked at Jace with suspicion evident on their cute faces."Is dinner ready?" Jace's warm and deep voice broke the slight tension as he came to join me, just as Kaleb and Kevin sat across from us."Yeah. We are having rice and fish stew for dinner," I told Jace, and he grinned, taking his seat next to me. He then placed a warm kiss on my left cheek, not minding our children looking at us."Dad," Kevin mumbled, rolling his eye
Jace's POV:"How do you see my home?" Celine asked once she opened her apartment door and led us inside.The living room was painted white and had simple decorations, but her warmth and scent filled it. It made me feel at home, at peace, and I smiled."It's wonderful. Did you live here with Kaleb for the five years after you left me?" I asked her, just as the bodyguard behind us brought Kaleb and my box into her apartment and left."Well, yes," Celine said with a blush, and I smiled."It's fine. I am glad that I found you. Where is your room? Let me take a look," I asked, and she blushed, looking at our two sons looking at us."Kaleb, show Kevin to your room, and you can take his box inside there, alright?" Celine said, gazing at our sons, and they replied, "Alright, Mom."Once Kaleb and Kevin left us, Celine appeared nervous. She didn't want to meet my gaze, so her eyes darted away to every corner but not me."Where's your room?" I asked her once more as I went to pick up my box."Co
Celine's POV:After our dinner ended, Jace asked me, "Do you mind me helping you with any work in your restaurant?""No," I replied when I met his desirous gaze on me."There's no work available for you to do. Besides, when did you start cooking?" I asked him, meeting his gaze, and he smiled."I still don't know how to cook. My chef does that at home," he admitted."How about Clara? Did she offer to cook for you?" I asked him, and he shook his head as his gaze darkened."No. Let's not talk about your sister. The more I think of her, the angrier I become. She has crossed the line, and I cannot wait to confront her. What did she take me for?" Jace asked, and I sighed."I am sorry. I should have been honest with you. But I wanted Clara to be happy. I couldn't see myself taking her husband. If Clara had not met you, there was no way that you and I would have dated, or even become married. For that reason, I always think that you are her husband and not mine." I lowered my gaze as I saw my
Celine's POV:As I stayed with Kevin in my office, Jace and Kaleb returned, and the office seemed more tense compared to when Edwin was here with us. I could feel Jace's eyes on me, and Kaleb came to meet me, breaking the tension."Mom, Uncle Edwin has gone," Kaleb said."Yeah," I smiled at my son, before I raised my head from my chair and looked at Jace's face."Jace, have you had lunch? You can request your meal, or let me go and get it for you," I said, as Jace kept looking at me."I am still relishing the fact that I found you again. Will you be willing to come back home with me to confront your sister?" Jace asked, as I stood up from my office chair.Kevin and Kaleb went to sit on the long couch in my office, and I'm sure they would get along well, compared to how me and Clara did. I didn't want my son and his twin to have any issues."I do not know," I admitted the truth to Jace. Besides, I have already built a life for myself here in Banana Island. Am I ready to go back home?
Jace's POV:I am still in shock that I found Celine, and she was truly the woman I met at Edwin's new hotel. How fate works.She had gained weight and was a little fuller than the last time I saw her. But she was still beautiful. And I cannot control myself but kiss her.Celine was my wife and not her sister. My biggest mistake was keeping quiet instead of blowing up Clara's cover at the beginning of our marriage.I still cannot believe that Clara abducted Celine. Listening to all Celine told me that Clara did, I wondered what kind of love Celine had that she had to endure her sister's torture, and Clara took a big advantage of it.As I looked at my twin son's original birth certificate and not the forgery that Clara had presented to me, I felt a rush of emotions, but I did not want to break down.I see the little kid staring at me. So I have two sons and not just Kevin.My phone rang before I could say anything after taking a look at Celine's photo."Hello, Roy," I answered his call,
Celine's POV: "Well, I am still in shock that you are Celine and also, you knew Jace and pretended with me. I truly fell for you, Ann, and now, I do not stand a chance to be with you. I was only just assuming that you could be Celine, given that you resembled Clara, even with the red hair," Edwin said as I turned to look at him. "It's fine. I am sorry that I fooled you too," I apologized to Edwin, and he smiled. "It's fine. Now, I understand better. I never thought your sister is capable of doing something as child trafficking. Are you sure that you are telling Jace and I the truth?" Edwin asked me, his expression serious. "Yeah. I am telling you the truth. I cannot lie about such a thing. It's the truth," I said, and Edwin sighed heavily. "It's a good thing that you were able to overcome Clara. What would have happened to you if you hadn't escaped, or what could she have done to the twin baby? Jace, you claim that you were there when Clara welcomed her child? How was it possible?
