Jace's POV:I marched back to my home office to go through the rest of the project I had in helping the low-class families in some community and poor villages. As I had many businesses running under the Augustus Corporation.However, my mind kept hovering around the fact that Clara isn't the woman with me.This feeling deep within my heart cannot be ignored.First, the way Clara has acted on our wedding day baffled me. Instead of looking elated that she was getting married to me, she appeared tense, like she was forced to marry me.On our bachelor's eve, I got a phone call from Roy that information reaching him was that Clara had traveled out of the country.I was stunned and tried calling her number, but it was already too late as she had switched it off.I wanted to call the Mason family to ask for Clara's whereabouts, but I didn't want to raise doubt and disturb the happy friends that had come to celebrate with us.'Why do I still feel this way?' I asked myself as I turned on my co

Jace's POV:"No, Sir," Esther's eyes widened in shock as she replied, "I don't think Madam is different. I think she is happy about the marriage and happy to be here with us.""Mm. You're right. I thought the same, and it's nice to hear your thoughts," I offered them a polite smile, and they sighed with relief."You both can leave and ensure to be nice to my wife and help her with whatever she wants. And be mindful that I have CCTV monitoring the mansion at all times. Is that clear?""Yes, Chief," Esther and Tina replied, and I dismissed them from my office.However, I still wanted to watch the past memories of me and my wife before our wedding, and also, now that we are together, and this single day that has blown away after we shared the wedding vows.Differences to spot.While the Clara before our wedding had long nails, her recent appearance doesn't display any of that. No long nails or eyelashes, but they both have nose rings and multiple earring piercings.I looked at the recent

Jace's POV:Edwin drank from his own glass cup and replied, "I don't think so. I think you should enjoy the moment and pretend with them that you are not aware of their scheme.""And you expect me to continue sleeping with Clara's twin, and pretending that I didn't know that she was not my real wife?" I asked Edwin, glaring at him, and he laughed."Yes. Or what do you expect me to advise you? You have already slept with her, so just continue with the flow.""You're crazy, Edwin. How can you suggest to me to continue with such sin? I cannot do that," I told him as I was gradually becoming drunk."Hmm. I don't know what to advise you about. You have a political campaign coming up, and if the people find out that you slept with your wife and her sister, it will ruin your good works, and the people will mock you for it. So don't act like you know the truth, until Clara is back," Edwin advised me, and I sighed.I have a campaign coming up next month, and I cannot allow this to ruin my repu

Celine's POV:I went downstairs, taking the stairs as I descended them, 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 now to ask where you are?" I spoke nervously, my lips trembling.Jace stood there watching me, not responding to my greetings as I finally alighted the last step."Hmm." He averted his gaze away from me and mumbled, "I'm 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're 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 respon

Celine's POV;"Phew!" I could still feel my innocent heart pounding loudly in my chest as I went downstairs to the dining table to wait for Jace Augustus, my husband, to come and join me for dinner.Tina came out of the kitchen with a worried expression on her face. She asked me, "Is everything alright, Madam? You look so sad."I raised my head, peered at Tina's concerned face, and told her, "Yes, I am fine." I faked a smile, and Tina looked relieved."Alright, Ma. I have finished having my dinner, and the meal is very delicious—I love the soup." Tina giggled, and I offered her a warm smile. "I am glad that you like it.""I will be in the kitchen waiting to wash the dishes," Tina gestured to the untouched meals on the vast dining table, and I told her, "Alright."I watched Tina go back to the kitchen, and I sighed.After sitting for a few more minutes, Jace came downstairs wearing a green robe, white shorts, and black slippers.He slowly descended the stairs and came to the dining tab

Celine's POV:I swiftly stood up from the bar stool where I sat and, glancing around the living room, then I 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 by his arms and placed a gentle kiss on his left cheek.Jace stiffened in my embrace when I pulled him closer and pecked his left cheek.I assumed he was still angry with me, 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 overload. 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

Celine's POV:I was nervous as I followed Jace back into my new room, and he went straight and picked up the bottle of the contraceptive that I bought and lied to him that it was a supplement.The medicine bottle of contraceptive was kept on the bedside table so that I can remember to take it once I woke up every morning."Why did you get this if you are truly my wife? You have been acting strangely and raising my concern that you are not really Clara, and like that's not enough, you went and bought these pills and changed the label."I tried to snatch the pills container away from Jace's grasp, and I glared at him."Give it back to me. You already said that you want a divorce. So go ahead and file for a divorce," I told him, unafraid if that was what he was willing to hear, and his face darkened."Are you doing all these because of Martin? Is that why you are taking this?" Jace opened the container and went to flush it into the toilet, and my jaw dropped in shock by his actions."Cla

Jace's POV:I knew Celine was not the woman that I loved, but what do you expect me to do? I am a very influential man, and I decided to play along with Celine'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 had fallen in love with. But I couldn't just put away 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 virginity, as she had never been with a man before, and I decided to find out more about her.I was not letting her go off easily. Since she came into my life and filled it with a slight difference about 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 Celine, 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 looke

Celine's POV."Oh no! What's all this news?" I continued scrolling through the news until I saw that it was captioned from what Clara had told them on her last interview on a red carpet runway show.I sighed with relief, and I could have freaked out if it were someone else with evidence. Trying not to bother myself about the news, I laid peacefully on the bed in my room and fell asleep.Later, I was awoken by the doorbell sound. Getting out of the bed, I wore my slippers, then I marched to the door and pulled it open.Jace stood there, looking at me with his desirous gaze. The night had fallen, and I made way for him to enter the room."Are you sleeping before? I hope I hadn't disturbed your peaceful sleep?" Jace asked me with a smile, but I shook my head and replied, "No, I was about to wake up, I guess. How about your best friend? Has she gone home?"Jace took a closer step to meet me. He held me by my shoulder and said, "Yeah, Mandy has. She said that she enjoyed the meal and will

Celine's POV "Yeah, I know that I didn't use to cook when we were dating, but now Jace and I are married. So it's best that I cook at home for him, so that I can take good care of him," I replied, seeing Mandy's face drop."Isn't that right, babe?" I asked Jace, as I stood next to him beside the dining table."You're right," Jace responded with a smile, and I told them, "Excuse me, I will get the food ready now."I walked away to the kitchen and served Mandy's meal. It was a plate of the delicious yam and fish sauce that I had made.Though I didn't like Mandy, I tried not to worry about her. As I stepped out of the kitchen and served the delicious meal in her presence.I could see the way Mandy looked at Jace with love in her eyes. He called her his best friend, and I didn't want to act like I was affected. There was no way I would be affected by my twin sister's husband, even though I am the one who is now married to him."Thank you, Celine," Mandy muttered as I stepped aside beside

Jace's POV "You shouldn't have recorded us without asking first," I told Mandy just as she ended the live stream."I am sorry, Jace. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble," Mandy said, as she looked sad, and I tried to be nicer to her."It's alright. Just that Clara's twin sister traveled to represent her abroad on a contest and faked it that she was truly Clara. If her fans see that her twin sister is swimming with me, they might misinterpret it and drag us online," I explained to Mandy, and her eyes lit up.Just as I stood in front of her, drying my wet body."Really?" Mandy asked, looking at me in shock. "You mean Clara is a twin?" She looked curious, just like Edwin, and I brushed it off."Yeah. But surprisingly, I haven't met her twin, that's why she didn't attend the wedding. If not, you could have gotten to meet her," I told Mandy, and she appeared thoughtful. Just as I walked away from her and went to pick up my trousers to wear them.As I didn't want to walk around the whol

Jace's POV As I pulled my study door to unlock, I was surprised to see Celine standing there and grinning."How did she get to know my password?" I wondered, but didn't ask her."What are you doing here, baby?" I asked, seeing her smiling face."I came to see you and to ask if we are still going for the swimming?" Celine inquired nervously, and I sighed."Oops. I forgot. Let's go," I walked out of my study and shut the door behind me.Celine grinned, turning to look at me, and asked, "Is everything alright, babe?""Yes, I am fine. Come on, let's go," I hugged Celine by her waist and escorted her into the elevator.As we rode down to the last floor, Celine and I got out, and we entered the living room together."Have you gotten a swimsuit?" I asked first."Um, no, I forgot. How's yours?" Celine looked at me, the way Clara normally behaves excitedly.I smiled, telling her, "I will just strip and be left in my shorts. How about that?"Celine laughed and agreed, "Alright. I will go back

Jace's POVI knew Celine was pretending to be Clara, but I couldn't blame her. Clara was very manipulative, and she had a way of forcing anyone to do her bidding.I sighed and finished up the delicious yam and fish sauce again, as the meal was so delicious. While I didn't want to admit to Celine that I knew she was fake, it was because she would leave as soon as I found out the truth, and I would be the one to lose. So what's wrong with playing along with her?We finished all the meals in the pot on the dining table, and Luca smiled and picked up a napkin to wipe his lips."I will be leaving for home now, Clara. Mom and Dad send their regards to you," he said once he rose from the chair to leave the house."Okay, big brother. Take care," Celine said, and Luca looked at me and forced a smile."I will be taking my leave now, Mr. Augustus. Take care of my sister," Luca said, and I wrapped my arm around Celine's tense shoulder as she was done with her meal."I will gladly do that. Thank y

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

Celine's POV:I looked at Jace's serious face as he said that his best friend wasn't his friend anymore. "Alright. So what are you going to have for dinner?" I asked, just as he encircled his muscular arms and wrapped me in a hug."You," Jace kissed my forehead and I wanted to get away from him, knowing what he desired."No. I mean, real food not to eat me up," I gulped hard and he pecked my nose and wrapped his right arm around my shoulder as he escorted me to the couch."I know, babe. I want us to enjoy our honeymoon. Because once I resume with my office work and visiting the community, I wouldn't have the time to have as much fun with you as I have now," Jace spoke to me softly as he sat on the couch first and placed me to sit on his thighs.I looked into his desirous eyes that were filled with love, and I wished I was really my twin and not his fake wife. But who is to be blamed?"Alright. I am all yours, but you have to fill your stomach too," I caressed his rigid stomach that w

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 to 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'm 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 answe

Jace's POV Wrapping a white towel around my waist, I told my wife, "I will be going to my room on the top floor. You know this room is yours, and I love to spend time with you here.""Okay. I know, and you don't have to tell me," Celine replied as she pulled the towel away from her chest to dry her body.I gazed at her pretty body with desire clearly printed in my eyes."Alright, babe. Later, you introduce your new friend to me, as I would like to meet her. Since you say that she is not Martin and a woman, right?" I asked Celine, and she blushed and glanced away. Walking up to the closet, she paused and replied, "Alright. I will introduce you to her later. She manages Celine's bakery shop in her absence, so she is more like my twin sister's best friend.""How about Lily? Why hasn't she come to visit us after our wedding?" I asked, but Celine shook her head."It's our honeymoon. Moreover, Lily traveled for a movie shooting in another state, and that's why she is not around," Celine re
