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

    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,

    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

    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

    Jace's POV:Edwin made the proposal for me to accompany him to have breakfast at a restaurant which he claimed belonged to his crush, before he took me to the real estate projects that he had been helping me to manage.As Clara had gone back to Turkey Island to continue with her modeling work, since she came here for Edwin's new hotel launch alone, she had jetted back, but I didn't try to act like I knew her."Edwin, is it compulsory that we go to the restaurant first? Why not let us go to the estate to see the houses and how it is now? Then we can come back and have lunch," I said, wanting to skip breakfast, but Edwin refused."No, Jace. I want to see Ann today. Her son fell sick last weekend, and that was why she wasn't able to attend my hotel launch party. But her son is better now," he said as he drove us down to the restaurant."Are you serious about dating a single mother? Do you not worry that her child's father could return to her life and try to win her back against you?" I a

    Celine's POVEdwin brought a bag of gifts for my son and apologized, "I am sorry about what happened to your son.""No, it's fine," I said, accepting the gift from his hand. It contained Milo and milk, and Edwin offered me a bright smile."I had to rush down here to come and see you both after hearing what happened to Kaleb. I had been restless wondering why you weren't answering your calls or even coming to the party. You couldn't have imagined how worried sick I was," Edwin spoke with a smile as we went to the ward to see Kaleb, after I kept Edwin's gift in my car at the hospital car park."You don't have to become worried sick about me. I am fine now and so is Kaleb," I said, leading Edwin to Kaleb's ward, and he smiled."That's fine. You are looking prettier in your casual dress and even though you didn't make up your face," Edwin said, and I raised my head and looked at him and smiled."Thanks," I said, and he smiled back."How are you doing, Justin?" I asked Justin just as we ar
