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

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 127

    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?

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 126

    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,

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 125

    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 Kaleb? Jace, you claim that you were there when Clara welcomed her child? How was it possible? Did you ev

    Celine's POV:Jace kisses my lips for a while before he parted his lips and gazed into my eyes."Please, you do not have to leave me again," he said, caressing my face, and I lowered my head in shame.I knew that I couldn't refuse Jace's kisses. I have missed him so much."How about Clara? You both are still living together, right?" I asked him, wanting to withdraw my hand, and Jace held me firmly."Yes. But I am going to leave the house for Clara since she doesn't want to go. I only tolerated her because she has a child for me. I am sorry..." Jace said, his voice choked with sobs, like he regretted getting Clara pregnant.I shook my head, not wanting to go back to my past."Clara is my twin sister. I have always wanted her to be happy. I cannot stand in her happiness. I know that I fell for you, but it was all a mistake," I said, as I turned my back on Jace.I did not want to meet his face."It was never a mistake. I know it was a mistake from the beginning, but after we became marri

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 123

    Celine's POV: "You pervert! How dare you kiss me?" I smacked Jace on his left cheek as I pushed him away from me in front of my chair. I was about to sit down, before he came rushing towards me and he pulled me into a quick kiss. "I'm sorry," Jace said, but I didn't bother to look at his face. I was too embarrassed, too shocked, because I wasn't expecting Jace to kiss me. My heart was beating so loudly in my chest because Jace didn't kiss me in private. He kissed me in the presence of my son, my workers who had rushed to my office to stop him from entering, and also Edwin and his son. They all looked at us with wide eyes, but I adjusted my blue dress properly. "Madam, we tried to stop him, but he was in such a hurry," Becky said, as she wore a white top and black skirt. "It's fine. You all can return to your work, and please take Kaleb along with you. Let me settle this," I said to Becky, without raising my head to look at her face. "Mom..." Kaleb was hesitant to leave, as he
