Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes Chapter 15
(Celine's POV)"Good evening, Mom," I greeted my mother, and she replied, "Celine. We have been trying your number to know how it has been going between you and Jace. I hope that he hasn't found out yet that you are not his real wife?""Mom, you know that I cannot be having this type of conversation with you. Jace almost found out the truth about the fact that I am not Clara, and that's a risk that you are all putting me into," I told my mother in a low voice, as I was afraid that the mansion might have CCTV footage."Mmm. Clara caused this. She should have told us that she wanted to travel, and Luca begged her to postpone the wedding, but she claimed Jace refused. How is he? Did he touch you and sleep with you? I couldn't sleep well last night as I got really worried that he would find out if you refused to let him touch you."I sighed and rolled my eyes."Mom, that is part of the deal, or what did you expect from a newly married woman? That Jace and I will only be looking at each oth

Celine's POV:"Have you seen my husband?" I asked Tina once I came downstairs into the living room. "Yes, Madam. Chief went to his home office with his assistant, Roy," Tina replied with a warm smile and I smiled back, "Thank you."I made my way to the home office's through Tina's direction as she didn't suspect that I am not my twin sister.It raised my suspicions to chat with Clara and to know how many times that she had visited the mansion before she ran away.As I arrived at Jace's home office door, I stood there nervously wondering what he and his assistant were discussing about.I did not want to eavesdrop on them or look like I was spying so I hesitated to knock. However the door opened and Roy came out and offered me a warm smile."I am leaving now, Madam," Roy said, as he seemed like a man in his late 20s."Alright. Take care," I smiled at Roy and watched him walked away. Then I knocked at Jace's office door and his deep voice welcomed me, "Come in."Nervously, I pushed the

Celine's POV:I finished shopping in less than an hour, then I got back to the Jeep to meet Roy."I'm done," I told him with a smile, as he stood beside the Jeep and waited for me to complete my purchase.Once we were done, I got into the back of the Jeep while Roy entered the driver's seat, and shut the doors. Then he drove the car back to Jace's mansion.Earlier, I had taken two pills from the contraceptive I purchased, despite feeling guilty, before I went to the mall to shop for some dresses.I planned on visiting my parents' house to gather a few of my things since I lived there before Clara disappeared.Although Clara and I had similar dresses, I don't like those exposed clothes that were in the closet in Jace's master bedroom.Roy continued driving as the night fell. A few minutes later, we arrived at the estate grounds where Jace's mansion was.I watched as the security men unlocked the gate and welcomed us into the mansion.I could feel my heart beating so rapidly in my chest

Jace's POV:I marched back to my home office to go through the rest of the project I had in helping the low-class families in some community and poor villages. As I had many businesses running under the Augustus Corporation.However, my mind kept hovering around the fact that Clara isn't the woman with me.This feeling deep within my heart cannot be ignored.First, the way Clara has acted on our wedding day baffled me. Instead of looking elated that she was getting married to me, she appeared tense, like she was forced to marry me.On our bachelor's eve, I got a phone call from Roy that information reaching him was that Clara had traveled out of the country.I was stunned and tried calling her number, but it was already too late as she had switched it off.I wanted to call the Mason family to ask for Clara's whereabouts, but I didn't want to raise doubt and disturb the happy friends that had come to celebrate with us.'Why do I still feel this way?' I asked myself as I turned on my co

Jace's POV:"No, Sir," Esther's eyes widened in shock as she replied, "I don't think Madam is different. I think she is happy about the marriage and happy to be here with us.""Mm. You're right. I thought the same, and it's nice to hear your thoughts," I offered them a polite smile, and they sighed with relief."You both can leave and ensure to be nice to my wife and help her with whatever she wants. And be mindful that I have CCTV monitoring the mansion at all times. Is that clear?""Yes, Chief," Esther and Tina replied, and I dismissed them from my office.However, I still wanted to watch the past memories of me and my wife before our wedding, and also, now that we are together, and this single day that has blown away after we shared the wedding vows.Differences to spot.While the Clara before our wedding had long nails, her recent appearance doesn't display any of that. No long nails or eyelashes, but they both have nose rings and multiple earring piercings.I looked at the recent

Jace's POV:Edwin drank from his own glass cup and replied, "I don't think so. I think you should enjoy the moment and pretend with them that you are not aware of their scheme.""And you expect me to continue sleeping with Clara's twin, and pretending that I didn't know that she was not my real wife?" I asked Edwin, glaring at him, and he laughed."Yes. Or what do you expect me to advise you? You have already slept with her, so just continue with the flow.""You're crazy, Edwin. How can you suggest to me to continue with such sin? I cannot do that," I told him as I was gradually becoming drunk."Hmm. I don't know what to advise you about. You have a political campaign coming up, and if the people find out that you slept with your wife and her sister, it will ruin your good works, and the people will mock you for it. So don't act like you know the truth, until Clara is back," Edwin advised me, and I sighed.I have a campaign coming up next month, and I cannot allow this to ruin my repu

Celine's POV:I went downstairs, taking the stairs as I descended them, so as not to miss Jace's face.Jace stood in the living room in his formidable form, watching me as I descended the stairs slowly."Um, welcome back, babe. I already made dinner for us. I mean, Tina and Esther did. And I was about to call you now to ask where you are?" I spoke nervously, my lips trembling.Jace stood there watching me, not responding to my greetings as I finally alighted the last step."Hmm." He averted his gaze away from me and mumbled, "I'm not hungry.""Why?!" My heart broke as I raised my head and peered at his dark face. His brows furrowed as he looked at me and replied coldly, "I do not need to explain myself to you. I already told you that I didn't marry you to cook for me."Jace's voice was stone-cold, and I was rendered speechless."You're right," I mumbled and lowered my head. "But, you haven't eaten tonight, have you?"My voice was sad, but Jace strolled away to the elevator, not respon

Celine's POV;"Phew!" I could still feel my innocent heart pounding loudly in my chest as I went downstairs to the dining table to wait for Jace Augustus, my husband, to come and join me for dinner.Tina came out of the kitchen with a worried expression on her face. She asked me, "Is everything alright, Madam? You look so sad."I raised my head, peered at Tina's concerned face, and told her, "Yes, I am fine." I faked a smile, and Tina looked relieved."Alright, Ma. I have finished having my dinner, and the meal is very delicious—I love the soup." Tina giggled, and I offered her a warm smile. "I am glad that you like it.""I will be in the kitchen waiting to wash the dishes," Tina gestured to the untouched meals on the vast dining table, and I told her, "Alright."I watched Tina go back to the kitchen, and I sighed.After sitting for a few more minutes, Jace came downstairs wearing a green robe, white shorts, and black slippers.He slowly descended the stairs and came to the dining tab

(Ava's POV)I knew that Celine was not going to call Martin. I smiled, as I left the kitchen because I set my phone on recording. I recorded everything she said and went back to the storeroom to change out of my clothes, so that I would not smell like baked goods when I was going out.I fished out my phone from my open handbag, and saved the voice recording that Celine said, as I wanted to send it to Martin.Biting my lower lip, I trimmed and cut the video into the size that I wanted to send to Martin. Then I sent it to him, and smirked.I kept my phone back into my handbag and left the storeroom. After changing out of my old dress and wearing a new dress that was not too expensive, and reserved for working in the bakery.I tied an apron around my chest, and went to join Celine in her kitchen.Later in the day, as the day moved faster than usual, maybe because I was anticipating seeing Martin, it was 2pm sharp, then I went to wash my hands and told Celine, "I will be back. I want to g

(Ava's POV)"Do not worry yourself, Mom. I will open my own business and inform Celine about it. It's not like I am not going to tell her. She is still my friend," I said, as I made a cup of tea and bread for myself.I just thought that Celine was greedy. If not, why would she accept to be the one to marry Jace, and even sleep with him? So she has no right to blame me if I slept with Martin too. Only that Martin was not as cooperative as Jace."Alright. But that reminds me, it's on the news that Celine is the one living with her twin sister's husband and they are trying to cover it by silencing the media. Rumors had it that the Manson's family swapped the bride and offered Celine as the bride, while Clara went for an award show abroad. Is that true, Ava?" my mother asked, peering at my face, as she loves online gossip."Mom, I do not know about that. All I know is that Celine is fine and my boss. I have to go now," I hurried left the kitchen, as I was not ready to tell my mother the t
Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes Chapter 48
(Ava's POV)I was still surprised that Celine would agree to her twin sister's plot to travel for an award show while she had to take care of Jace for these three months.Ever since I found out this truth that Celine didn't want to share with the public, I knew that she trusted me. But I wanted her man, Martin Enzo. He treated her like a queen, and I do not think a cheating woman like Celine deserves him.Celine was my best friend, but I am still in shock that she had to do this for Clara. Why would she have to take up Clara's place? Everyone knows that Clara is a flirt. She hangs out in five-star hotels and even has a history of befriending a lot of superstars. We thought a woman like Clara wouldn't get married with her wayward life and also, prostitution vibes. However, Clara was the one to capture a hot billionaire like Jace Augustus, and she wanted to use her twin sister to pass time.Celine was a dummy, but I cannot blame her. Ever since I've known her, she helped Clara to study,

(Celine's POV)Returning back to my room, I saw it was already past 8pm on the clock.Staring at the gift in my hand that Jace gave me, I didn't want to throw it away, so I went into the closet and kept it safely in the wristwatch safe.I exited the closet and returned back to my bedroom. Feeling the urge to use the bathroom, I went in there and relieved myself.As I got out of the bathroom, I went to lay on the bed, thinking about Martin. I didn't switch on my phone as I wasn't ready for their confrontation. Then I slept off.During the time of my sleep, I felt the presence of someone looming above me. I was too tired to figure out if it was a dream or real.However, I succumbed to sleep.The next morning, I awoke to find Jace sleeping on the bed with me.Taking a quick glance at the wall clock in my room, I realized that it was past 5am on the clock.I slept so early the previous night and had to wake up in time.Jace smiled as he awoke on the bed and looked at me."Good morning," I

(Jace's POV)I knew that Celine was tense when she saw me draw near her. But I couldn't help but desire to kiss her mouth. The thought came to me like a ticking bomb to go close to her and kiss her.I was supposed to be avoiding her, but seeing her often, I couldn't help but desire to be this close to her.I want to kiss her. Do those crazy romantic stuff with her.I recalled at the drive down to the local community. Mandy had asked me if I checked her wedding gift to me. And I felt so guilty that I haven't even pulled the wrap to unlock it.I had to tell her that I kept it safely in my bedroom because if I had told Mandy the truth that I just kept it without checking it, she would have become sad and might have developed another suicidal thought that I do not care about her.Since she knows that I cannot love her beyond seeing her as my sister."What's the thing that you want to give me?" Celine asked, as she stood up from her chair and walked up to meet me."It's in my room. Let's g

(Celine's POV)As I got out of the kitchen, Jace was already seated at the dining table like a king waiting for me to get out.I tried not to look at his face as he had taken his bath and he looked more charming. His masculine chest was slightly visible through the white pajamas that he wore.He sat there salivating as he hungrily looked at me like I am food, watching me stroll out of the kitchen to join him.I had almost lost my hold of the tray containing the hot pounded yam that I had made.As I got to the dining table, I set the tray down, and sat next to Jace.However, his gaze returned to the meal and he asked, "Did you truly prepare these? They are my favorites?"I smiled, feeling my heart flutter at his warm words.I wanted to tell him that cooking was a hobby for me. But I held it back and rather told him, "I just want to make you happy. Besides, it's still our honeymoon even though the one-week vacation is over.""Don't worry. I will make up another vacation for us. And we c

(Jace's POV)As I got out of my car after watching my wife walk away, I wasn't in a hurry to follow her, even though I wondered what was chasing Celine.She was so sad that it was evident on her face that she cared about Martin. Even when she lied to his face that she was Clara, I wondered why I was feeling bad for him and why I didn't want Celine to be with her boyfriend.Even as I tried to blow her cover, I couldn't fully admit to her face that she was not Clara. A part of me wanted to know her and to understand why she agreed to betray me and offer herself to me.How deep can the love of a twin be? Thinking about the whole situation made my blood boil, but I stood in my garage, awaiting Roy's arrival."Hey, Lucas. Once Roy arrives, tell him to meet me in my study," I let my gate man know, and he replied, "Alright, sir."I strode ahead and went back into the house.Tina and Esther were so elated, eating full donuts with their mouths full. The way they savored the taste of the donuts

Celine's POV:My heart broke as I watched Martin leave my store angrily. But when Jace looked at me, I forced a tight smile. I couldn't allow Jace to know that I am not his real wife. My sister's career was at stake, as well as her marriage to Jace.Jace unlocked the car door for me like a gentleman, and I entered the back seat, while Roy came to meet Jace and greeted him, "Sir, I guess I will be riding alone."Roy glanced into the car, saw me inside, and said, "Goodbye, Madam. We will meet at home.""Alright, Roy," I offered him a stiff smile as Jace got into the car with me. His chauffeur started the car once Jace had fastened his seat belt, and he was silent.I could feel Jace's intense gaze on me, crawling over my skin. It made me uncomfortable, and I was unable to meet his gaze.As the car roared to life and the driver pulled out of my shop, I felt a dread in my heart.Why did I ever agree to take up Clara's place? If I hadn't done that, my life would have been at peace. My boyfr

Jace's POV:Mandy and I visited the local community that I had in mind. The roads were bumpy, and the kids and families had gathered to receive my gifts. Security men lined up as I spoke to them about helping to create more job opportunities, opening more healthcare centers, and providing water supply for them.My team and I were there to provide the community with foodstuffs, as we had a truck loaded with rice and beans, which arrived at the venue.By 3 p.m., we finished sharing all the gifts, and I went back to my car with Mandy after greeting a few elders in the community.I had the security men stationed around, and no interviews were granted.Just as Mandy and I settled into my black Maybach, she asked me, "So, tell me, Jace. When next are you going on another event like this? It feels like I am your real wife."I rolled my eyes and glanced away after seeing Mandy's bashful expression."You still haven’t gotten enough of the fact that I only see you as my best friend and my siste
