Celine's POV

I 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 POV.I was angry with Clara, but I couldn't send her away, especially after hearing that she is pregnant by me.I was stunned and unable to believe the news.I knew that I had unprotected sex with Clara, but she was not pregnant then, and she didn't tell me about it until now.It made me feel more guilty that I had been sleeping with Celine unprotectedly before her sister got back.Unfortunately, Celine wasn't pregnant, and I couldn't tell if she went to get another contraceptive in her bakery shop or not to get rid of all my effort to make her pregnant.I sat in my study in the penthouse, thinking of all that I had done with Celine.If only I had confronted her and not listened to Edwin's advice to play along, then Celine and I wouldn't have gone far with our affairs.I felt guilty as I went through some of our past videos that I had saved.I knew that during the last moment that I spent with Celine, she was nervous mainly because she knew that she had lied to me and she was p

    Clara's POV.Luca was silent at first, then he asked me, "Do you not feel any shame, Clara? How could you be pregnant and yet allow Celine to sleep with Jace? What if she is pregnant by him too? Because she told me that she and Jace had sex.""Mmm. Celine told me that she wasn't pregnant. I think you saw her before she disappeared and went home," I countered, not expecting my brother to know so much."Can you listen to yourself, Clara? What if Celine is unable to tell any of us that she is pregnant? What if that's why she ran away because she cannot stand the shame of being pregnant by her twin sister's husband?" Luca's voice was filled with regret as he said, "I wish she had told me before agreeing to your nonsense. I find it repulsive that Jace slept with both you and Celine. He is not the only man, Clara. Why not divorce Jace and come back home?""No way. What about my baby? I cannot divorce Jace, and do not tell me this rubbish again. Goodnight." I ended the call with my only brot

    Clara's POV.I watched Jace's hardened expression soften."Are you sure that you're pregnant, Clara? How am I sure that you are pregnant by me? We have to do a pregnancy test to be sure that you are carrying my child. Why would you hide it from me all this while?" Jace asked as he paced in front of me.Though I hadn't expected him to forget about Celine so easily, he appeared conflicted, so I brought out the medical test result of Celine's pregnancy and showed it to him.I ensured the test result didn't have any address in this area, as I showed him the result as positive."I am pregnant by you, Jace… Here, take a look. I cannot believe that you hate me so much and would think that I cheated on you during my stay abroad. How can you do this to me and our child?" I sobbed as I walked back to sit on the living room black couch.Tears streaked down my cheeks, and Jace came and sat beside me. I knew that he was concerned for the baby."I am sorry, Clara. I didn't mean to make you cry. It'

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 60

    Clara's POV.I paced about the living room, waiting for Jace to return after he left the house angrily. I knew that he was into my sister, and I thought I made the right decision to capture Celine, but she made things difficult for me and Jace. As much as I regretted using my twin sister to keep Jace, I cannot lose him to her. I have never lost, and I cannot stand the thought of it now.Why would Jace be acting so cold to me? Why would he storm out of the house and threaten to file for a divorce?I did everything because I love him. If he had waited for me to return from the award ceremony and winning my rightful place as the top model of the year, Celine wouldn't have gotten involved with him.I hadn't thought of the repercussions, but I didn't take the nightmares seriously.As I phoned Jace to ask him where he was after having my dinner alone, I could sense the nervousness in his voice when he asked me if Luca contacted me.I didn't want to give Jace the benefit of the doubt that I

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 59

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 58

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 57

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 56

    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
