All Chapters of Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

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)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

(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

(Ava's POV)I was still surprised that Celine would agree to her twin sister's plot to travel for an award show while she had to take care of Jace for these three months.Ever since I found out this truth that Celine didn't want to share with the public, I knew that she trusted me. But I wanted her man, Martin Enzo. He treated her like a queen, and I do not think a cheating woman like Celine deserves him.Celine was my best friend, but I am still in shock that she had to do this for Clara. Why would she have to take up Clara's place? Everyone knows that Clara is a flirt. She hangs out in five-star hotels and even has a history of befriending a lot of superstars. We thought a woman like Clara wouldn't get married with her wayward life and also, prostitution vibes. However, Clara was the one to capture a hot billionaire like Jace Augustus, and she wanted to use her twin sister to pass time.Celine was a dummy, but I cannot blame her. Ever since I've known her, she helped Clara to study,

(Ava's POV)I knew that Celine was not going to call Martin. I smiled, as I left the kitchen because I set my phone on recording. I recorded everything she said and went back to the storeroom to change out of my clothes, so that I would not smell like baked goods when I was going out.I fished out my phone from my open handbag, and saved the voice recording that Celine said, as I wanted to send it to Martin.Biting my lower lip, I trimmed and cut the video into the size that I wanted to send to Martin. Then I sent it to him, and smirked.I kept my phone back into my handbag and left the storeroom. After changing out of my old dress and wearing a new dress that was not too expensive, and reserved for working in the bakery.I tied an apron around my chest, and went to join Celine in her kitchen.Later in the day, as the day moved faster than usual, maybe because I was anticipating seeing Martin, it was 2pm sharp, then I went to wash my hands and told Celine, "I will be back. I want to g
