Semua Bab Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Clara's POV.Luca was silent at first, then he asked me, "Do you not feel any shame, Clara? How could you be pregnant and yet allow Celine to sleep with Jace? What if she is pregnant by him too? Because she told me that she and Jace had sex.""Mmm. Celine told me that she wasn't pregnant. I think you saw her before she disappeared and went home," I countered, not expecting my brother to know so much."Can you listen to yourself, Clara? What if Celine is unable to tell any of us that she is pregnant? What if that's why she ran away because she cannot stand the shame of being pregnant by her twin sister's husband?" Luca's voice was filled with regret as he said, "I wish she had told me before agreeing to your nonsense. I find it repulsive that Jace slept with both you and Celine. He is not the only man, Clara. Why not divorce Jace and come back home?""No way. What about my baby? I cannot divorce Jace, and do not tell me this rubbish again. Goodnight." I ended the call with my only brot

Jace's POV."Babe…" Clara walked into the room further to meet me, as I had just stepped out of the bathroom door. "I cannot sleep alone. I am having so much pain in my stomach, and that's because I need you," she said, making me scowl.I felt that Clara wanted to use her pregnancy to trap me. Especially now that I had filed for a divorce."But you left for three months and could sleep alone in Los Angeles?" I asked her coldly, and she flinched."Yes, it was torture." However, her hands flew to her stomach and she cried, "Ah! I am so sorry, Jace. I am sorry, please…"I sighed, knowing that I cannot send Clara away now. As much as her presence irritated me, I cannot risk losing my child."It's fine. Since you want to sleep here, you can move over to the bed and sleep on it, but know that there's no cuddling between us," I told her coldly, as I moved away to the closet to find my night robe and donned it."But I want you close to me," Clara started sobbing, but I silenced her."Don't te

Jace's POV.The police inspector invited me into the room and asked me multiple questions, "Senator Jace Augustus. We haven't thought of you to be involved in this scandal despite your loyalty and preaching of uprightness in the society.""Mmm. It's a personal problem and I never intended for any of this to happen. My wife tricked me into marrying her twin, and I am trying to get myself out of the mess that she had created," I said, as I looked at the police officer's face."It's understandable. Kindly share with us what you think and who you feel is holding your wife hostage. Did she run away or did she leave on her own and told you not to contact her again?" The police woman asked, but I shook my head sadly."It was my fault. If I had my guard up, I shouldn't have allowed Celine to leave my house without my security. I never allowed her out of my sight, but that particular day, I was broken and ordered her to sign the divorce papers and leave me. Which she declined because she wasn'

Ava's POVWe arrived at the police station headquarters and were ushered into the interrogation room for questioning.A policewoman, old enough to be my mother, entered the room as I was the first to be interrogated.She looked at me with her piercing black eyes and opened her folder on the desk between us, making me nervous.As I glanced around the slightly dark room, I saw two male policemen standing securely at the door, looking at me angrily as if I were the one who had kidnapped Celine.Damn it, Celine. Just when I was getting along with Martin, why would she disappear now? I wondered, but I maintained an expressionless face to avoid giving the police any reason to throw me into a cell. I was determined to choose my words carefully.Once the policewoman sitting across from me flipped a page and picked up her pen, she demanded, "What's your relationship with Celine Mason?""We were childhood best friends," I replied calmly, crossing my arms over my chest."For how long?" she asked

Jace's POVFive months passed, yet the whole world seemed to move on as the search for Celine became futile.I searched every nook and cranny around that area, hoping to see Celine again. But she was gone. We searched some of the houses, while others were inaccessible because the owners weren't around.We didn't find the taxi at any of the houses, which was the worst part, as I didn't realize how smart the abductors were.The only house where we saw a car was an old one, and we were told the owner had traveled to the village four years ago.I told Roy to end the search, believing that Celine had chosen to move on with her life.It was all my fault. If I hadn't pretended with her, if I hadn't listened to Edwin and confronted Celine about why she had to take Clara's place...I sat in my office on the top floor of my establishment when my secretary called me."Sir, Ms. Mandy is here to see you," she informed me, and I quickly picked up my handkerchief to dab the corners of my eyes.I cou
