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
Colleen's POV Jared left for work, and I was in my room thinking about what had happened to me and Jared. It has been a week since that incident happened, and until now, I still can't believe that it did.That was unexpected. I never thought that it was possible for us to be intimate. One of the reasons was my condition. I was just so thankful that he was gentle.Even after that, we still sleep in a separate room. I didn't want to go into his room on the second floor because I felt like it was too tiring for me. I remember when we woke up that day.*** Flashback ***"Did you sleep well?" he asked when I opened my eyes. At first, I was disoriented and wondered why he was in my room. Then I heard him say again, "Don't tell me you already forgot what we just did." Then I remembered what just transpired.Because of that, I got shy and tried to get up, but he stopped me. "Where are you going?""I need to pee," I answered."Make it fast and come back here," he said, and then I got up. He wa
Colleen's POVI had been hopeful after that night. I thought that we would start to get to know each other and that Jared would give us time to make up for the years that I thought we wasted. But I was wrong; he never talked to me even once, which depleted my confidence."Colleen, do you want to eat already?" Betty asked, smiling. It was hard to reject her when she was looking like that, so I returned her smile with a nod. "I asked a doctor about food that is good for you, but I don't know exactly what your condition is, so I just told him that you don't want to get tired," she added as she placed the food on the dining table."You eat them all; I made it cholesterol- and fat-free. The doctor said that you might have a heart condition, so he told me to prepare something that has zero fats," she said again."Thank you so much, Betty.""You are most welcome. As long as you're going to be OK, that is fine with me," she replied."Why don't you join me? Call the other as well. I always eat
Third Person's POV *** Flashback *** It was after Jared rejected her request for money that Colleen decided to see her mom the next day. She thought that she would be dying soon, so she would have to at least know how she was. She knew her mother's house because she went there only to be pushed away. She told her that it would be better if she was with her dad, but she insisted on staying there with her. Lucy thought that she was Daddy's girl, so she sent her there and told her that she reminded her of her father's inability to support his family. Now that she is in front of her mother's new family's house, she can see how they are. It was a small, two-story house that had a small lawn. She could tell that they were having some financial problems as the grass grew in the front yard as if no one was actually paying attention to it. She went to the window and saw her stepdad in a wheelchair, and she thought that Lucy was having a hard time. Then I heard them say, "I really wanted to
Jared's POV My face dimmed when I saw her laughing with the doctor again. I received a photo of her with that doctor as well as the coffee shop's address. I know that Colleen said that he was only a friend to her and that she would never cheat on me. But how can I believe that when she had not smiled at me the way she smiled at that doctor? I cannot accept the fact that someone can make her happy who’s not me. In the past two years, there have been a lot of things that have come to my knowledge. Although I had no idea about those things before, I still felt guilty at some point. I didn't give our marriage a chance, which should have been my first priority as soon as we got married. Colleen never blamed me for that. For distancing myself from her, I never heard anything from her. Now that she looks happy, I don't think that I wanted to see her like that with another man. Because of that, I got out of the car and entered the cafe. She had not noticed me yet, as she was still laughing
Jared's POV "You're pushing me away to another woman?" I asked her. I won't rest until I know whether she was serious or not. "I was simply telling you that what had happened to us will never happen again," she replied. "Why, because of that doctor? You agreed to marry me, so you better stay away from him!" I yelled at her, and I saw her massage her temple. I was worried for her, but I am angry too. "What's wrong with us sleeping together? Is that how disgusted you are with me?" I asked again. I don't see any reason why she didn't want to. Does she only make up excuses about her health that she can't stay in my room? "Can you just leave first? I wanted to rest because I was feeling tired. If not for someone calling me out, I would have been sleeping and resting the whole afternoon. So please, can you give me this and let's just talk later?" she said, trying to be calm. "Why can't you yell at me if you're feeling mad? Why don't you express your feelings?" I asked. I am not going to
