Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes Chapter 17
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

Celine's POV:I swiftly stood up from the bar stool where I sat and, glancing around the living room, then I made my way to the dining table to join Jace."Good morning, babe," I greeted him with a warm smile, moving closer to meet him, and I held him by his arms and placed a gentle kiss on his left cheek.Jace stiffened in my embrace when I pulled him closer and pecked his left cheek.I assumed he was still angry with me, but I wasn't ready to admit yet that I am not Clara."Morning, how was your night?" Jace asked, settling on the first dining chair, and I sat next to him and told him, "Not cool. You didn't join me on the bed last night."I peered at his handsome dark face, and he sighed."I had a slight headache, and I didn't want to trouble you last night as I went out to drink and came home and ate overload. So I was a bit unwell and could handle it on my own. But I am fine now," Jace offered me a smile as he peered at my face."Does that mean you are not going to apologize to me

Celine's POV:I was nervous as I followed Jace back into my new room, and he went straight and picked up the bottle of the contraceptive that I bought and lied to him that it was a supplement.The medicine bottle of contraceptive was kept on the bedside table so that I can remember to take it once I woke up every morning."Why did you get this if you are truly my wife? You have been acting strangely and raising my concern that you are not really Clara, and like that's not enough, you went and bought these pills and changed the label."I tried to snatch the pills container away from Jace's grasp, and I glared at him."Give it back to me. You already said that you want a divorce. So go ahead and file for a divorce," I told him, unafraid if that was what he was willing to hear, and his face darkened."Are you doing all these because of Martin? Is that why you are taking this?" Jace opened the container and went to flush it into the toilet, and my jaw dropped in shock by his actions."Cla

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

Celine's POV:I finished baking a lovely white cake when Lola came into the kitchen and said, "Madam, someone is here to see you?""Who?" I asked her nervously, and she replied, "Mr. Enzo."My heart skipped multiple beats upon hearing that Martin was here to see me.Why was he here to see me? I thought that I told him that I had travelled abroad to represent my twin sister.I became anxious as I saw Lola waiting for me to be through.Though I have students that learn how to bake from me, I didn't have classes with them on that particular day."Alright. I will be there in a minute," I went to wash my hands and take off my apron as Ava went to get lunch. Though she offered to get me lunch, I was already used to eating snacks as my lunch because I got so busy baking.As I came out to the showroom where I sampled most of my baked goods, I was stunned to see Martin wearing a yellow top and black trousers with black shoes.As I tried to maintain a stern gaze to look at him, since I knew tha

Jace's POV As I arrived at my company, I made my way to my office on the top floor. I had some business that I control in the city aside from my job as a politician.My staff greeted me on arrival before I made my way into the elevator.When I arrived at the top floor where my office was, I went inside and had a seat. Some partners came to see me and congratulated me on my marriage. I shut the interviews as I was not ready to grant any interview with the media related to my wife and my marriage.As I got busy, I decided to contact Roy to know what was going on with Celine and her bakery shop.My office featured a touchscreen television on the wall, for me to watch and listen to any trending news. And the entertainment news about my wife caught my attention because the television was on. After watching the news video about my wife, my phone call with Roy connected, and he let me know that he had taken care of the interviewers.Listening to Celine's comments regarding that she cannot

Celine's POVI sat nervously at the rear of the car, watching Roy drive me down to my bakery. He didn't even need to ask me for directions as he drove the car to my bakery shop and parked."Have you been to this area before?" I asked him, my voice filled with anxiousness, and he smiled."Yeah. I have been to your shop once before. But you didn't know me," he replied, his voice filled with happiness, but I frowned."My shop? No, I guess it was Celine you met," I replied, feeling my heart beat skyrocket. But I placed a hand over my chest to remind myself that Jace mustn't find out.I had never seen Roy before. Or maybe I had, but I couldn't seem to remember it."Yeah. I just came to buy some donuts and some cookies when I escorted you for your wedding shopping. I just thought you must have forgotten, but I was here with you," Roy said, his tone collective, and I smiled."Alright. I get forgetful, but this is my twin sister's shop, not mine. I will call you when I close for the day, as I

Jace's POVI knew that Celine was faking it and that it was her sister's bakery shop. As she looked stunned to hear me say that it was her shop, meaning she was the owner.Celine and Clara might have looked alike, so you can hardly tell their differences, but they had different behaviors, which was easy for me to detect on the first day.They don't have the same spirit, even when their zodiac signs and skin color are the same.Celine was more free-spirited around me than Clara was. I felt suspicious of what Clara was up to when she was with me.I cannot say for sure if Clara truly loves me, but I knew that she loves my money and my dick, which was why, she traded her twin sister to be with me.I could have opened my heart to love Celine, but she was playing her part well, pretending to me that she was Clara. My only concern now, was that I need a child to take over my business, and to become my heir. So, since Celine was available to perform all the wife duties with me that Clara was

Celine's Point Of View;"Celine, what has come over you? You actually blocked me for almost a week and you turned off your phone too?" Clara yelled over the phone call, and I sighed."I needed some time to think. Was that not what I told you, that I have to think through your new request," I told her, and she calmed down."That's fine. But you shouldn't have blocked me. How do I reach out to you to know what you are up to?" Clara asked, and I sighed."I will update you about anything important. As for now, there's nothing important to know about, except that some journalists are lurking around my bakery and requesting interviews from me. And I need to grant them the interview. I will tell them that I am Celine and I am just helping you out, like we have discussed, and nothing will affect your career or winning the award," I told Clara, and she sighed with relief."Thanks, sis. But you should unblock me. It ruined my mood the previous week, seeing that you had blocked me. I was unable

Celine's Point Of View;A week later, it was a bright Monday morning. I still cannot believe that I am living with my twin sister's supposed husband, Jace Augustus.I woke up in the bed this morning in my room, which was supposed to be Clara's room if she were to be around. But you know, Clara had traveled and she was not making any attempt to return back.I had blocked her calls too, and was looking forward to the date that she will be back. The awards ceremony was to happen in the month of May, so hopefully, Clara will be back.I slept alone in this room and I recalled that I have to go to my shop, which I told Jace was my twin sister's shop.Jace also said that he was resuming his political work and he will need me to attend some event with him before I can be free to visit my shop, but Ava has been understanding and she doesn't like to poke her nose into my affairs unless I tell her. She let me know when she needed money to support her family and she doesn't steal from my shop or

Jace's POV.I knew that Celine was troubled with her guilt of pretending to me that she was my real wife when she was not.I wanted to tell her that it was okay, and she doesn't have to feel that way. And I knew that she was fake.But I don't want our marriage to end yet, or for her to return to Martin.Why do I feel this way about Celine? I'm not falling in love with her, right?I shut my eyes at the memory and still my heart with the reminder that I do not love her and only Clara. But with Clara's betrayal, I will be awaiting her return to the city.I hurried with my bath. Once I finished, I got out of the bathroom and entered the room, but Celine was not there.I heard her voice, sobbing in the closet, and my fist clenched."Clara," I called her fake name, even when a part of me wanted to call her by her real name."Babe," I slowly pushed the closet door to unlock, and Celine quickly picked up a cloth to wipe her eyes as she did not want to turn to look at me."What is the matter,
Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes Chapter 34
Celine's POV."Oh no! What's all this news?" I continued scrolling through the news until I saw that it was captioned from what Clara had told them on her last interview on a red carpet runway show.I sighed with relief, and I could have freaked out if it were someone else with evidence. Trying not to bother myself about the news, I laid peacefully on the bed in my room and fell asleep.Later, I was awoken by the doorbell sound. Getting out of the bed, I wore my slippers, then I marched to the door and pulled it open.Jace stood there, looking at me with his desirous gaze. The night had fallen, and I made way for him to enter the room."Are you sleeping before? I hope I hadn't disturbed your peaceful sleep?" Jace asked me with a smile, but I shook my head and replied, "No, I was about to wake up, I guess. How about your best friend? Has she gone home?"Jace took a closer step to meet me. He held me by my shoulder and said, "Yeah, Mandy has. She said that she enjoyed the meal and will
