Third Person's POVJared was looking outside the window when he heard the knock. He knew that it was Colleen because he saw her getting into the mansion. She doesn't go into his room and stays in her own room all the time, and Jared knew that the reason she was there was because his mom was there. Even after two years, Claire and Ingrid didn't know that they were sleeping in a separate room. "Come in," he said without looking, and Colleen entered the room."Mommy Claire is down the stairs; why don't you send her home first?" she said, not looking at him either. She didn't want to look at him when they were talking because Jared didn't like it either.Jared approached her and asked, "Who is he?" Colleen was confused, so she looked at him accidentally, and she saw him glaring at her, so she looked away."I don't know who you were talking about," she replied, going to the couch so she could sit."The man you were talking to earlier, who is he?""Dr. Gerard," she replied, and Jared was ang
Jared's POVTwo years had passed, and my marriage was still the same as it was before. I never dreamed of having a marriage like this. I admire how my parents were when my dad was still alive. Ingrid and I saw how much they loved each other, and I don't know why mom didn't allow me to have that.After I broke up with Stacey and talked the last time in the hospital, I avoided her so I wouldn't be able to cheat, because even if I didn't love Colleen, I still valued our marriage. I don't like a broken family.Even if it was like that, we were able to meet under different circumstances. Like when she told me that Colleen had texted her, telling her to stay away from me. The first time she told me that, I confronted Colleen, and she denied it. I was mad at her because, aside from telling me that she didn't do it, she never explained anymore. How can I actually believe her when she doesn't even say anything that will make me think?At some point, I was together with Colleen for two years, an
Jared's POV I went back to our house, and when I got to my room, Colleen was no longer there. She really didn't stay there, and it annoys me more. Compared to us, she was the one who showed the most disapproval of us living together, yet she didn't object. I decided to go down and look for her in her room and meet Betty. "Are you going to swim, Sir Jared?" she asked curiously. "No, I am going to see Colleen." I replied and turned my back on her, but she stopped me. "Wait, Sir. Colleen is resting and currently sleeping. She looked tired when I saw her, so when she told me that she would rest first before eating, I let her," she informed me. Now that I think about it, she does look pale. Every time I happen to see her, I notice that she always looks pale and sick. "Tell her to come and see me in my study when she gets out of her room." I told her and went to my study. I brought home some office work because I needed to fetch Colleen from the hospital. In my study room, time had pas
Colleen's POV I felt relieved when Dr. Gerard agreed to my request. I was hesitant to ask him for such a favor because, whether he told me or not, I know that he was disappointed when I didn't manage to convince Jared to lend me the money for my surgery two years ago. I saw him smiling and laughing the way he used to after I confirmed with him my decision. I actually didn't want to ask him for help, but I felt like I wanted to live and enjoy the life that God had given me, so I wanted to protect it and do everything I could to save it. Even if I am not happy with my marriage, life is still beautiful and worth living to see my future. I didn't expect to see Jared in the hospital, and I was worried for a bit when I saw his angry face. Well, he was always like that, so I am getting used to it. But it was different that time, and I don't know what the difference was. He left me, so I went home by myself. It was fine, though. But when he confronted me in his bedroom, I didn't expect him
Colleen's POV"Let's eat together from now on," he said, and I was shocked. Just what was going on with him? "What, you don't want to?" he asked."It's nothing like that. I was just flustered.""Why?""Why?""I'm asking you why you are flustered.""I'm asking you why you suddenly want to eat together. Are you not afraid that you won't be able to swallow your food when you look at me?" I asked."Where did that come from?" he asked, confused."You didn't want to see me, and you've been angry at me from the very beginning," I replied."Did I tell you that?""No, but you make it appear that way," I replied and continued eating. Whatever it is that he wanted, I don't care about it, as I'm sure that he was just out of his mind for a moment."How are you doing in your room?" he asked out of nowhere. There's nothing wrong with that, and maybe he was just curious or trying to, so I answered him."I had been staying there for two years already, so it was good to say that I liked it there.""Are
Jared's POVColleen is somewhat different; she dared to tell me that she married me for money, and yet she gets nothing besides the monthly allowance I voluntarily gave her. Yes, she asked for money when we were just starting our marriage, but after that, she never asked again. She said it was a matter of life and death, and yet she didn't ask me anymore.In our marriage, there were things that I found out about her; those are only based on what I had observed from her. I didn't want to waste my time hiring a private investigator because I am 100% sure that Ingrid and Mom had done it already. It's not that they were cautious with every person they met, but they let me marry her, so it was only right to assume that they already did.They should have told me if Colleen needed the money and the very reason that she asked for it, but they never talked to me about it, so I just shrugged my shoulders. I planned on filing a case against her for hurting Stacey the first time, but after I did s
Third Person's POVJared waited for the result of the investigation, and it didn't take long. He found out everything about Stacey, and he was furious. "Is this the reason why mom made me marry Colleen before? Why didn't she tell me about it?" he asked himself. He had liked Stacey and even thought about marrying her. But after finding out the truth, he felt relieved.He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He thought that it was really time to have a good relationship with Colleen and decided to say sorry for everything he said about her. He went home and looked forward to talking to his wife.After his conversation with Colleen in the dining room, he never talked to him again. Not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't get the chance to do so. Colleen had been staying in her room every time he was around and only getting out when he was in the office.She always helped with the household chores, not doing heavy things but only those that her body could take. "Ma'am Co
WARNING!! MATURE CONTENT!! Third Person's POV Colleen felt him deepen their kiss, so she couldn't help but respond. With that, Jared moaned as he liked what she just did. He was still carrying her, and for him, he thought he was carrying nothing. She was so light, which made him decide to be gentler with her even more. He put her on her bed and continued kissing her. Colleen, on the other hand, likes what Jared is doing to her. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and all her heartache towards him washed away instantly. She never thought that they would be sharing an intimate moment like what they were doing now, and even if she didn't know whether it was good for her health or not, she still didn't stop him. Jared wanted to do more, so he moved his hand and roamed around her body. He realized that Colleen was so tiny that he thought she was a child. If not for the fact that they were married, he would have thought otherwise. Slowly, he undresses Colleen, and she
