Colleen's POV

I stayed at Jared's mansion and didn't leave my room if it wasn't necessary. It has been a week since we lived together; the maids arrived, and I didn't face any problems with him. It's funny. How are we going to face problems when we never see each other?

As Jared's wife, I wake up early in the morning to prepare something for him for breakfast. I told Betty not to tell him about it because he may not eat it if he finds out that I was the one who made it. At night, I see to it that he has food to eat when he comes home.
