Celine's Point Of View;

'Oh no! Can I really keep up with all these people that I am unfamiliar with? Wouldn't Jace find out sooner that I am not Clara?' I pondered in my mind as I excused Jace and his childhood sweetheart, Mandy Joshua. Like I couldn't stand there and pretend to know the woman, when I did not know her.

As I entered the living room, I met the two maids who looked at me and smiled.

"Um, what are your names?" I asked them first, before I would make more mistakes. Though I could have asked Clara directly, but I didn't have the time to ask her. So I had to ask them first, before I make more mistakes and show Jace that I am not his real wife.

"Um, ma'am. I am Tina, and she is Esther," the two young ladies in their early twenties said to me. As they seem a bit younger than me.

"Alright, Tina and Esther. Thanks for the breakfast earlier. But I would like to know how the meal routine works around here, for lunch and dinner. Since my husband and I aren't going to work today," I

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 10

    Celine's POVI get 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 husband, after all."Babe, are you alright?" Jace asked me as he laid 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 for different modeling shoots," Jace spoke to me behind my back. His warm breath fanned the crook of my neck, while his hand made its way upward to my 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, not knowing

    Jace's POV"What's wrong, babe?" My wife, Clara, asked me, and I looked at her face and pondered.'Is this really my wife or her twin? What's going on? Why didn't I notice it? I know Clara's voice very well, and the way she sounded so happy on the phone was like my fiancée. 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 can 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 as I rubbed my temple, and she asked me, "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,

    Celine's POV"Wow! That was so close," I gasped, exiting the room and going downstairs to the kitchen to check on what we have ready for lunch.While I knew that this was supposed to be my sister's honeymoon with her husband, I couldn't stay idle in the house and I 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 turns 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, ma'am?" 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.""Alri

    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, as she looked at the gate. "Was it Martin?" I asked, as ever since I heard Clara mention that name and the way she blushed when saying his name. It made me jealous to think that Clara was cheating on me. "No. It's not Martin. It was Luca. 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 has to call me to apologize, as he just got back home. 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 looked 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. When would

    Celine's POV:"Yeah. I knew what she was going to wear. After all, we are twins, so what do you expect? We have an arrangement on what to wear during the week," I told Jace as I settled on the chair beside him. I wasn't expecting the broadcasting channel to display the event that my twin sister had attended.Jace had this growing suspicion that I wasn't Clara. My duty was to make him believe that I am Clara.Tina arrived and told me, "I have bought the frozen chicken and fresh pepper that you ordered for Madam.""Oh. That was fast," I replied to Tina happily as I rose from the couch and looked at Jace. He 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 him, "I have to go and prepare lunch now.""Alright." Jace 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 and chicken pep

    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 didn't 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 and Jace refused. How is he? Did he touch you and sleep with you? I cannot 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 other in

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 39

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 38 ++

    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

    Celine's Point Of View;"Celine, what has come over you? You actually blocked me for almost a week and you turned off your phone too?" Clara yelled over the phone call, and I sighed."I needed some time to think. Was that not what I told you, that I have to think through your new request," I told her, and she calmed down."That's fine. But you shouldn't have blocked me. How do I reach out to you to know what you are up to?" Clara asked, and I sighed."I will update you about anything important. As for now, there's nothing important to know about, except that some journalists are lurking around my bakery and requesting interviews from me. And I need to grant them the interview. I will tell them that I am Celine and I am just helping you out, like we have discussed, and nothing will affect your career or winning the award," I told Clara, and she sighed with relief."Thanks, sis. But you should unblock me. It ruined my mood the previous week, seeing that you had blocked me. I was unable

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 36

    Celine's Point Of View;A week later, it was a bright Monday morning. I still cannot believe that I am living with my twin sister's supposed husband, Jace Augustus.I woke up in the bed this morning in my room, which was supposed to be Clara's room if she were to be around. But you know, Clara had traveled and she was not making any attempt to return back.I had blocked her calls too, and was looking forward to the date that she will be back. The awards ceremony was to happen in the month of May, so hopefully, Clara will be back.I slept alone in this room and I recalled that I have to go to my shop, which I told Jace was my twin sister's shop.Jace also said that he was resuming his political work and he will need me to attend some event with him before I can be free to visit my shop, but Ava has been understanding and she doesn't like to poke her nose into my affairs unless I tell her. She let me know when she needed money to support her family and she doesn't steal from my shop or

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 35

    Jace's POV.I knew that Celine was troubled with her guilt of pretending to me that she was my real wife when she was not.I wanted to tell her that it was okay, and she doesn't have to feel that way. And I knew that she was fake.But I don't want our marriage to end yet, or for her to return to Martin.Why do I feel this way about Celine? I'm not falling in love with her, right?I shut my eyes at the memory and still my heart with the reminder that I do not love her and only Clara. But with Clara's betrayal, I will be awaiting her return to the city.I hurried with my bath. Once I finished, I got out of the bathroom and entered the room, but Celine was not there.I heard her voice, sobbing in the closet, and my fist clenched."Clara," I called her fake name, even when a part of me wanted to call her by her real name."Babe," I slowly pushed the closet door to unlock, and Celine quickly picked up a cloth to wipe her eyes as she did not want to turn to look at me."What is the matter,

    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

  • Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes    Chapter 33

    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
