(Celine's POV)I got really exhausted after Jace was done making love to me again, and I couldn't have imagined this would happen frequently. I made up my mind to get a pill to prevent me from conceiving for him. He was my sister's fiancé after all."Babe, are you alright?" Jace asked me as he lay on the bed beside me. His right arm was firmly wrapped around my waist in a gentle but possessive hug."Yeah, I am fine," I replied to him, feeling his bare chest and body on my back as we were both unclothed on the bed."I'm so happy that we finally got married. You know many wouldn't have believed that we would be together, with your work involving you traveling about for different modeling shoots," Jace spoke to me from behind my back. As his warm breath fanned the crook of my neck, his hand made its way upward to my right breast and fondled it."Yeah, I know," I told him, and he asked me, "You remember what happened in India when we went there for our engagement vacation?"I gulped hard,
(Jace's POV)"What's wrong?" my wife asked me, and I looked at her face and pondered.*Is this really my wife or her twin? What's going on with me? Why didn't I notice it? I know Clara's voice very well. The way she sounded so happy on the phone was my fiancée's. So who am I married to? Her sister? Is it possible that Clara traveled out and told her twin to marry me in her place? How could she do this to me? I am a titled man. Oh no! I didn't want to think that I have slept with two sisters without realizing it. I was so overjoyed with our wedding that I failed to notice their differences.*"Babe, what's wrong?" Clara asked me, I mean, if she isn't Celine. I am so confused right now."I don't know, babe. I feel so confused right now," I told her the truth as I rubbed my temple, and she asked, "What are you confused about? You said that you wanted to speak with my twin, and I called her right now. Why are you acting so confused?"Clara came and stood in front of me, and I asked her, "Wa
(Celine's POV)"Wow! That was so close," I gasped, exiting the room and going downstairs to the kitchen to check on what we had ready for lunch.While I knew that this was supposed to be my twin sister's honeymoon with her husband, I couldn't stay idle in the house and had to look for something to distract myself.I was nervous, thinking Jace had almost found out that I wasn't Clara. He suspected it already when I called my twin sister on the video call.The way Clara laughed and joked was totally different from me, even when we were totally identical. My twin sister had no tattoos, and neither did I. So it was easy for us to switch roles and use each other's identity.Arriving at the first floor, I met Tina's curious gaze on me as she came out of the kitchen and met me in the living room."Do you need anything, madam?" Tina asked, and I took a deep breath and told her, "Not really. I want to see the list of what we have available. Let me check what will be easy for us to prepare.""Al
(Jace's POV)"I couldn't help admiring you from the top floor, so I came downstairs to see you and meet with you. And I overheard your conversation. Who was that?" I asked Clara, and she blushed and looked away from me, towards the gate."Was it Martin?" I asked her, as ever since I heard her mention that name to me, and the way she blushed when saying it, it made me jealous to think that Clara was cheating on me."No, it's not Martin. It's Luca, my brother. You know that he traveled for a broadcasting event that he had to give an account on, so he couldn't attend the wedding and he had to call me to apologize. As he just got back home today. But he asked why I allowed Celine to attend the modeling shows abroad instead of speaking with you to postpone the wedding. So I told him that you refused," Clara said, looking so nervous as she finished speaking, and I sighed."I couldn't wait any longer. After this year, I will be 36 years old. And you do expect me to remain single for that long
(Celine's POV)"Yeah, I knew what she was going to wear. Like we are twins, so what do you expect? We have our arrangement on what to wear during the week," I told Jace just as I settled on the chair beside him. I wasn't expecting the broadcasting channel to display the event that my twin sister went to.Jace had this growing suspicion that I wasn't Clara, and my duty was to make him believe that I am Clara.Tina arrived and told me, "Madam, I have bought the frozen chicken and fresh pepper that you ordered.""Alright, that was fast," I replied to Tina happily as I rose from the couch and looked at Jace, who was focused on the television, trying to figure out if I am the real Clara or not. Well, he should blame it on my twin.As I stood up from the couch, I told Jace, "I have to go and prepare lunch now.""Alright." Jace replied and looked away from me to the television, still curiously watching my twin.I looked away from the television and went into the kitchen to make a pot of rice
(Celine's POV)"Good evening, Mom," I greeted my mother, and she replied, "Celine. We have been trying your number to know how it has been going between you and Jace. I hope that he hasn't found out yet that you are not his real wife?""Mom, you know that I cannot be having this type of conversation with you. Jace almost found out the truth about the fact that I am not Clara, and that's a risk that you are all putting me into," I told my mother in a low voice, as I was afraid that the mansion might have CCTV footage."Mmm. Clara caused this. She should have told us that she wanted to travel, and Luca begged her to postpone the wedding, but she claimed Jace refused. How is he? Did he touch you and sleep with you? I couldn't sleep well last night as I got really worried that he would find out if you refused to let him touch you."I sighed and rolled my eyes."Mom, that is part of the deal, or what did you expect from a newly married woman? That Jace and I will only be looking at each oth
Celine's POV:"Have you seen my husband?" I asked Tina once I came downstairs into the living room. "Yes, Madam. Chief went to his home office with his assistant, Roy," Tina replied with a warm smile and I smiled back, "Thank you."I made my way to the home office's through Tina's direction as she didn't suspect that I am not my twin sister.It raised my suspicions to chat with Clara and to know how many times that she had visited the mansion before she ran away.As I arrived at Jace's home office door, I stood there nervously wondering what he and his assistant were discussing about.I did not want to eavesdrop on them or look like I was spying so I hesitated to knock. However the door opened and Roy came out and offered me a warm smile."I am leaving now, Madam," Roy said, as he seemed like a man in his late 20s."Alright. Take care," I smiled at Roy and watched him walked away. Then I knocked at Jace's office door and his deep voice welcomed me, "Come in."Nervously, I pushed the
Celine's POV:I finished shopping in less than an hour, then I got back to the Jeep to meet Roy."I'm done," I told him with a smile, as he stood beside the Jeep and waited for me to complete my purchase.Once we were done, I got into the back of the Jeep while Roy entered the driver's seat, and shut the doors. Then he drove the car back to Jace's mansion.Earlier, I had taken two pills from the contraceptive I purchased, despite feeling guilty, before I went to the mall to shop for some dresses.I planned on visiting my parents' house to gather a few of my things since I lived there before Clara disappeared.Although Clara and I had similar dresses, I don't like those exposed clothes that were in the closet in Jace's master bedroom.Roy continued driving as the night fell. A few minutes later, we arrived at the estate grounds where Jace's mansion was.I watched as the security men unlocked the gate and welcomed us into the mansion.I could feel my heart beating so rapidly in my chest
(Jace's POV)I knew that Celine was tense when she saw me draw near her. But I couldn't help but desire to kiss her mouth. The thought came to me like a ticking bomb to go close to her and kiss her.I was supposed to be avoiding her, but seeing her often, I couldn't help but desire to be this close to her.I want to kiss her. Do those crazy romantic stuff with her.I recalled at the drive down to the local community. Mandy had asked me if I checked her wedding gift to me. And I felt so guilty that I haven't even pulled the wrap to unlock it.I had to tell her that I kept it safely in my bedroom because if I had told Mandy the truth that I just kept it without checking it, she would have become sad and might have developed another suicidal thought that I do not care about her.Since she knows that I cannot love her beyond seeing her as my sister."What's the thing that you want to give me?" Celine asked, as she stood up from her chair and walked up to meet me."It's in my room. Let's g
(Celine's POV)As I got out of the kitchen, Jace was already seated at the dining table like a king waiting for me to get out.I tried not to look at his face as he had taken his bath and he looked more charming. His masculine chest was slightly visible through the white pajamas that he wore.He sat there salivating as he hungrily looked at me like I am food, watching me stroll out of the kitchen to join him.I had almost lost my hold of the tray containing the hot pounded yam that I had made.As I got to the dining table, I set the tray down, and sat next to Jace.However, his gaze returned to the meal and he asked, "Did you truly prepare these? They are my favorites?"I smiled, feeling my heart flutter at his warm words.I wanted to tell him that cooking was a hobby for me. But I held it back and rather told him, "I just want to make you happy. Besides, it's still our honeymoon even though the one-week vacation is over.""Don't worry. I will make up another vacation for us. And we c
(Jace's POV)As I got out of my car after watching my wife walk away, I wasn't in a hurry to follow her, even though I wondered what was chasing Celine.She was so sad that it was evident on her face that she cared about Martin. Even when she lied to his face that she was Clara, I wondered why I was feeling bad for him and why I didn't want Celine to be with her boyfriend.Even as I tried to blow her cover, I couldn't fully admit to her face that she was not Clara. A part of me wanted to know her and to understand why she agreed to betray me and offer herself to me.How deep can the love of a twin be? Thinking about the whole situation made my blood boil, but I stood in my garage, awaiting Roy's arrival."Hey, Lucas. Once Roy arrives, tell him to meet me in my study," I let my gate man know, and he replied, "Alright, sir."I strode ahead and went back into the house.Tina and Esther were so elated, eating full donuts with their mouths full. The way they savored the taste of the donuts
Celine's POV:My heart broke as I watched Martin leave my store angrily. But when Jace looked at me, I forced a tight smile. I couldn't allow Jace to know that I am not his real wife. My sister's career was at stake, as well as her marriage to Jace.Jace unlocked the car door for me like a gentleman, and I entered the back seat, while Roy came to meet Jace and greeted him, "Sir, I guess I will be riding alone."Roy glanced into the car, saw me inside, and said, "Goodbye, Madam. We will meet at home.""Alright, Roy," I offered him a stiff smile as Jace got into the car with me. His chauffeur started the car once Jace had fastened his seat belt, and he was silent.I could feel Jace's intense gaze on me, crawling over my skin. It made me uncomfortable, and I was unable to meet his gaze.As the car roared to life and the driver pulled out of my shop, I felt a dread in my heart.Why did I ever agree to take up Clara's place? If I hadn't done that, my life would have been at peace. My boyfr
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
Celine's POV:I finished baking a lovely white cake when Lola came into the kitchen and said, "Madam, someone is here to see you?""Who?" I asked her nervously, and she replied, "Mr. Enzo."My heart skipped multiple beats upon hearing that Martin was here to see me.Why was he here to see me? I thought that I told him that I had travelled abroad to represent my twin sister.I became anxious as I saw Lola waiting for me to be through.Though I have students that learn how to bake from me, I didn't have classes with them on that particular day."Alright. I will be there in a minute," I went to wash my hands and take off my apron as Ava went to get lunch. Though she offered to get me lunch, I was already used to eating snacks as my lunch because I got so busy baking.As I came out to the showroom where I sampled most of my baked goods, I was stunned to see Martin wearing a yellow top and black trousers with black shoes.As I tried to maintain a stern gaze to look at him, since I knew tha
Jace's POV As I arrived at my company, I made my way to my office on the top floor. I had some business that I control in the city aside from my job as a politician.My staff greeted me on arrival before I made my way into the elevator.When I arrived at the top floor where my office was, I went inside and had a seat. Some partners came to see me and congratulated me on my marriage. I shut the interviews as I was not ready to grant any interview with the media related to my wife and my marriage.As I got busy, I decided to contact Roy to know what was going on with Celine and her bakery shop.My office featured a touchscreen television on the wall, for me to watch and listen to any trending news. And the entertainment news about my wife caught my attention because the television was on. After watching the news video about my wife, my phone call with Roy connected, and he let me know that he had taken care of the interviewers.Listening to Celine's comments regarding that she cannot
Celine's POVI 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 POVI knew that Celine was faking it and that it was her sister's bakery shop. As she looked stunned to hear me say that it was her shop, meaning she was the owner.Celine and Clara might have looked alike, so you can hardly tell their differences, but they had different behaviors, which was easy for me to detect on the first day.They don't have the same spirit, even when their zodiac signs and skin color are the same.Celine was more free-spirited around me than Clara was. I felt suspicious of what Clara was up to when she was with me.I cannot say for sure if Clara truly loves me, but I knew that she loves my money and my dick, which was why, she traded her twin sister to be with me.I could have opened my heart to love Celine, but she was playing her part well, pretending to me that she was Clara. My only concern now, was that I need a child to take over my business, and to become my heir. So, since Celine was available to perform all the wife duties with me that Clara was
