Jace's POV:

I stood outside in front of my house with my wife, standing next to me, and watched my best friend, Edwin Hugo, drive his black Maybach into my residence and park it.

"Hey, Jace! My man! Happy married life, bro," my best friend, Edwin Hugo, said as he got out of his black car, wearing a black suit. Then he walked up to meet my wife and me.

"Welcome, man. Thanks," I hugged Edwin, as we were like brothers growing up and inseparable.

"Good morning, sir," Clara greeted Edwin as she stood next to me, just as I crossed my arm over her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"Morning, Mrs. Augustus. Though I didn't want to stop by and disturb your honeymoon, but you know that I cannot go a day without coming to see Jace," Edwin said, smiling.

"It's fine. I understand," my wife replied, and Edwin smiled and told me, "Man, I got to get along, and I hope that you both are enjoying your honeymoon. Why not travel for a vacation for your honeymoon?"

"No, we have all the luxury here. So trave

    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

He was a young man, probably in his early thirties, and he offered me a warm and reassuring smile after he was done running a series of bodily checks on my son as Kaleb lay on the bed in his office."Doctor, how is my son?" I asked Dr. Jerry anxiously after he was done examining my son."He is just having a hot temperature. Do not worry. He will be fine. I have conducted a few tests on him. He will need to be placed on admission," Dr. Jerry said, and I agreed."Alright."My phone had been buzzing with many incoming calls, and I didn't want to answer any of them at the moment.I knew that Edwin would be disappointed, but Kaleb was my topmost priority at the moment. I cannot ignore my son's health and rush to a party when it was not even a party for kids.I turned off my phone and followed the doc
