All Chapters of Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Celine's POVI went downstairs, taking the stairs as I descended, so as not to miss Jace's face.Jace stood in the living room in his formidable form, watching me as I descended the stairs slowly."Um, welcome back, babe. I already made dinner for us. I mean, Tina and Esther did. And I was about to call you to ask where you were," I spoke nervously, my lips trembling.Jace stood there watching me, not responding to my greetings as I finally alighted from the last step."Hmm." He averted his gaze away from me and mumbled, "I am not hungry.""Why?!" My heart broke as I raised my head and peered at his dark face. His brows furrowed as he looked at me and replied coldly, "I do not need to explain myself to you. I already told you that I didn't marry you to cook for me."Jace's voice was stone cold, and I was rendered speechless."You are right," I mumbled and lowered my head. "But you haven't eaten tonight, have you?"My voice was sad, but Jace strolled away to the elevator, not responding

Celine's POVI swiftly stood up from the bar stool where I sat, glancing around the living room, then made my way to the dining table to join Jace."Good morning, babe," I greeted him with a warm smile, moving closer to meet him, and I held him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.Jace stiffened in my embrace when I pulled him closer and pecked his left cheek.I assumed he was still angry, but I wasn't ready to admit yet that I am not Clara."Morning, how was your night?" Jace asked, settling on the first dining chair, and I sat next to him and told him, "Not cool. You didn't join me on the bed last night."I peered at his handsome dark face, and he sighed."I had a slight headache, and I didn't want to trouble you last night as I went out to drink and came home and ate too much. So I was a bit unwell and could handle it on my own. But I am fine now." Jace offered me a smile as he peered at my face."Does that mean you are not going to apologize to me for last night's behavior? How c

Jace's POVI knew my wife wasn't the woman that I loved, but what do you expect me to do? I am a very influential man in Turkey Island, and I decided to play along with Clara's game, more like how Edwin had advised me to do.There were a lot of things that I liked about Celine, but she was not the woman that I fell in love with. But I couldn't just ignore the fact that she agreed to betray me because of the love for her sister.It just dawned on me that I took Celine's innocence, as she had never been with a man before, and I decided to find out more about her.I was not letting her go easily. Since she came into my life and filled it with a slight difference from her sister, I don't know what I would end up doing once Clara was back. But my mind was made up to spend these three months with her and to enjoy every bit of it.Celine was so nervous as she held my manhood in her right hand and gazed at me with her shining blue eyes.You could never know that she was not Clara. She looked s

Celine's POV"Look, Celine, Jace is a titled man, and he will never know that we are different as long as you continue to play along. Do you know how many women are vying for his attention? I couldn't have broken up with him and canceled the marriage, but what's the essence when I have a twin sister who could cover up? Listen, Celine, I allowed you to enjoy Jace's wealth and his pleasure, so why can't you get pregnant by him and have his child? Is that too much to ask for? I already told you that once I am back, I will take the baby, and you can move on with Martin. Besides, I helped Martin get a job in one of Jace's real estate construction companies, and he will never be poor again. So Dad and Mom will accept him.""I am sorry, sister. But I cannot do that. If I find out that I am pregnant, I will take it off and get rid of it. I cannot get pregnant by your man, so you better hurry back home." I quickly ended the call on Clara as she tried calling me again, but I refused to answer he

Celine's POV:"Madam, is everything alright?" Tina asked, looking at me worriedly, as she was the first person to notice my discomfort."Yes, everything is fine. I will be back as my older brother had arrived to see us. Quickly set up the dinner and serve it at the dining table once it's ready. I have to go and welcome him," I told Tina and Esther, and hurriedly darted out of the kitchen through the kitchen back door.As I followed through the back door and ran out to the garage to welcome my older brother, Luca, he had gotten out of his car and was locking the door."Hi, Luca. Welcome," I greeted him nervously as he locked up his car door, dressed in a black suit.Luca turned to face me and replied, "Hey, Celine. What's up?"My brows furrowed at him, and I immediately corrected him, "I'm not Celine. Did you come here to act like this?"Luca laughed, seeing my grim expression, because Jace would get mad at all of us if he found out the truth that I was not his real wife.I wasn't read
