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.

    JACE'S POV"Where is Celine!" I asked Luca like I was a mad man who was already losing his mind."Celine?" Luca asked me with widened eyes, as he was stunned, thinking that I already found out the difference in his younger twin sisters."Celine is not here. I thought she wanted to stay with you and Clara until tomorrow. She said she was not coming home," Luca said. As I strode to meet him, I grasped his shirt and yelled at him, "Do not lie to me. Clara was the one who said that. Clara was the one who traveled abroad, and my wife is not Clara. You and your parents, alongside Celine, colluded and presented Celine to me as my bride while Clara went for her awards event. Do you think I am a fool or someone to be easily gullible?!"Luca gulped hard, as he couldn't say any more words. He lowered his head in shame and apologized to me, "I am sorry, Jace. I was not aware of it all. It was all Celine and Clara's doing. Clara threatened to cut ties with Celine, and she made her do it. I was sho

    JACE'S POVAs I arrived at the Edwin's Clubhouse, I had a sinking feeling that everything was not right. My heart felt so heavy, and I felt like someone close to me was in danger.Celine… I thought about her as I had waited for Roy to call me to let me know where Celine was, but he hadn't called me yet.Unable to hide my panic, I stood at the front of the clubhouse and called Roy instead.Night had fallen, and darkness was gradually enveloping everywhere. I watched the happy lovers going into the clubhouse. Some young women gazed at me with desire and thought maybe I was single, but none of that mattered."Roy, have you found Celine?" I asked him as I broke out in a cold sweat."Boss, I am sorry to say this, but we lost track of Celine. The cab driver who took her took a turn, and before I could catch up with him, he had disappeared, and there's no trace of him," Roy told me, and I could hear the anxiety in his voice."Damn it, Roy! How did you allow Celine to go missing? Where was he

    CELINE'S POVI woke and found myself on a bed, more like a hospital bed."Where am I?" I asked myself, feeling a sharp pain in my belly. I instinctively placed a hand on my tummy and observed that it wasn't hurt, but I had this lingering pain there.As I sat up on the bed, I saw two men in the room with me. One was older, like a middle-aged man dressed in a blue top and black trousers. I immediately recognized him as the taxi driver, while the other was a younger man, wearing a white lab coat and black trousers, and he held a sharp object in his hand."Who are you people?" I asked them, trembling as I tried to sit up properly on the bed.The man wearing a lab coat, like a doctor, and another man who I recognized to be the cab driver that I booked to take me to the airport smiled at me. But I knew that behind that ruthless smile, they were up to no good.I remember passing out in the cab, from falling asleep, and now waking up in this strange room. They didn't say anything, except to t

    JACE'S POV.Seeing Celine leave my house made me feel immense pain in my heart.I wanted to chase after her, to stop her from leaving, but I felt so guilty that I had pretended I didn't know she was acting."Please, I am so sorry, Jace," Clara knelt beside me, crying and begging for forgiveness."Why did you lie to me, Clara? You made me become worse than a sinner. How could you do this to me? And you expect me to take you back after that type of betrayal? I do not want you again. Just leave," I told Clara as she knelt in my room on the top floor and clasped her hands together."I begged you to postpone the wedding, but you refused. I tried everything to make you shift the wedding date, but you didn't want to understand me. Please, no one will know that I am back and I left before. We will continue with our lives, and Celine understands," Clara said, crying, and I stood backing her."Do you think that she does? She was traumatized and kept on pretending for a good three months for you

    CELINE'S POV:The rest of the dining table fell silent as the chattering of spoons was heard.After we were through having lunch, Mandy arrived and strolled into the living room to join us. She wore a black dress and had a black coat like mine on."Hey Jace, Clara. Oh my goodness! Your twin is back!" Mandy rushed up to the dining table to hug me, instead of Clara."Welcome back, Celine," she said, and I tensed in my seat. "It's not me. It's her," I pointed to Clara, and Mandy gasped, "Oh! I mistook you for Clara. You both are purely identical. Good afternoon, Mom, Dad," Mandy went to greet Jace's parents with a warm hug, as she had almost hugged everyone at the dining table except for Jace."Thank you, Mandy. We weren't expecting to see you," Jace's mother said, as she sat across from me. Mandy smiled as she took her seat next to the older woman. The dining table could fit a number of ten people."Mama, why wouldn't I come? Jace told me that his wife's twin is returning today, and i

    CELINE'S POV:A WEEK LATER.I was so nervous knowing that Clara was arriving today from Los Angeles.I picked up the similar dress design that she had bought from abroad and sent to me two weeks ago.I donned the blue gown, but it was too tight because of my baby bump that was gradually protruding.I had already made all my arrangements to travel, without telling Jace. These days, I avoided his touch like it burned. I didn't want to see him face to face to avoid him knowing that I am not his real wife."Babe, are you ready? I have sent my driver over to pick up your twin," Jace spoke to me as he came into my room to meet me.I knew that most of the things in this room belonged to Clara. I smiled and told him, "Thanks, love. I cannot wait to meet Celine."I lowered my face, and Jace walked into the room to meet me.I had totally forgotten that my dress was tight and I hadn't worn my coat.As Jace strolled into the room to meet me where I stood in front of the dressing mirror, I immedia

    CELINE'S POV:THREE MONTHS LATER:I was anxious because Clara had already sent me a text message that she was coming back to the city the following week.We made an arrangement for us to meet in our father's house. So far, Jace and I had gotten along.He took me to his company, and we had some intimate encounters at home, and as husband and wife.I didn't take Ava back, and after Martin had confronted me, I didn't see him again either.As it was Friday, Clara told me that she would be in the city by the upper week Saturday, and so we made an arrangement to meet at our father's house. From there onward, I would return to my old life, and she would take over hers.I was quite anxious as I didn't know if I was ready to part ways from living with Jace.I had already grown accustomed to him, cooking for him, and chatting with him.My anxiety peaked, and as I awoke on my bed alone, I rushed to the bathroom to vomit all the food that I had eaten last night.After Ava had confirmed to me that

    CELINE'S POV:"Reach for my mouth. You should give me a kiss, too. Wait, let me show you." Jace took the meat pie snack that I brought for him and held it to his lip. Holding it close to his mouth, he cut off a piece of meat pie with his teeth and mouth-fed me."What are you doing?" I wanted to get away from him, but he caught me by the arm. "There is love in sharing. Aren't you my wife? So why are you shying away? That's how you should feed me." Jace gestured for me to take a bite before I kiss-fed him."Fine." I did as he told me, steeling my heart to not fall for him, as I had two more pieces of snacks to share with him.I picked up the snacks and ate one as I fed him, too. Just then, a knock on my office door startled me, and I looked over at the door and saw Ava.My gaze darkened at her audacity to record me and still have the guts to come back to my shop."What do you want?" I asked Ava, as I rose from my chair and kept the plate of snacks that I was romantically eating with Jac

    CELINE'S POV:As I was in my office, checking on my orders online after Ava left, I was also trying to edit my new videos of my students before I posted them.Martha knocked and came into my office to see me."Madam, your husband is here to see you," she informed me, and I looked over at her and recalled that I had switched off my phone."Let him in," I said, as I adjusted my sitting posture. A few minutes later, Jace came into my office, and I was not expecting to see him."Good afternoon, babe. I wasn't expecting you to come today," I told him, a warm smile on my face as he looked around my office."I intended to surprise you. But I haven't forgotten the taste of your bakery goods, and that's why I am here," Jace said, and for a moment my heart skipped a beat, thinking he had caught on to my pretense."It's my sister's bakery, and she had her staff and students lectured well," I informed him, to which he nodded."It's fine. So can I join you here, or should I wait for you in the car
