Colleen's POV I wanted to cry that very moment when he was telling me about what had happened two years ago. He was facing a problem then and I didn't do anything to help him. I got mad at him without knowing that he was in a tight situation as well. I could feel his sincerity when he said he was sorry and what he said before I was out in my sleep. He wanted me to stay longer. He wanted me to be with him and our baby. I tried not to cry, I didn't want him to know that I was still awake and had heard everything. Although it was his confession, I still didn't want him to feel a burden. It must be his way of lessening the weight on his shoulders. It was three days ago, and every time I look at him, I can't help but feel sorry for both of us. But, I didn't want to think that way anymore. Starting that night and the following nights, he had been telling me about him and what he had been doing after we got married. It made me feel that he was filling me up with information about him that
Jared’s POV “Hi, Colleen!!!” Ingrid greeted my wife happily and of course, she greeted her back with the same enthusiasm. “Ingrid,” she said and accepted the kiss my sister was giving her. I invited Mom and Ingrid over. It was Saturday and I decided to make every Saturday of Colleen’s life filled with memories of the people she loved. “Hi, son.” Mom greeted me. I don’t know, but every time we see each other, I always see sadness in her eyes. Maybe because of our situation, so I think I have to talk to her about that. I didn’t want her to worry about us, either. “Hello, mom. Thank you for coming over.” I said as I gave her a sincere smile, and then she went to sit with Colleen. I followed her after I finished setting up the grill. “Wow, big brother Jared, this is so fun,” Marcus exclaimed as soon as he arrived, as he helped Diane push Uncle Rick’s wheelchair. Mommy Lucy was in the kitchen with Betty getting the other food. “Did you like it?” Ingrid asked with a broad smile. “Yes
Colleen’s POV Weekends have never been happy until the last few weekends that I and the rest of my family shared. Every Saturday, Jared made sure to have everybody gathered in our house and that extended my life every time. Well, that’s how I feel even if I know my body. Nevertheless, I am happy about it. “Hi, wife..” Jared said as he sat beside me, I’m in the 6th month of my pregnancy and I just had my check-up. The baby was very fine and although she was a little underweight, she was still healthy. Dr. Chin said that it was pretty normal considering my condition. I know Jared is excited but scared. He knew that in the 7th month, I was going to undergo the CS and we didn’t know what would happen after. I was just trying to be courageous and strong for our baby and him, along with the people I love. “Hi, husband,” I replied, “Tell me what you want to eat,” he said. We went home after the check-up because I wanted to stay at home with him. I like how our daily routine goes and I d
Jared's POV I felt lost after that moment. I know that Colleen doesn't need any more worry, but I couldn't help it. I'm just glad that she didn't take it differently, crying in front of her again. Sometimes, I feel weak. Whose man ever cries over a woman? Not many, right? People who love deeply only get hurt. I think it was tragic. Thinking about my wife now, I had to be strong for our baby too. I don't know what will happen when Colleen really leaves us after. How am I going to be a good father to our daughter? I promised that I would always make her feel proud of me, but how am I going to do that when she is not around anymore? "Jared," I looked at my sister, who looked worried. "I'm sorry that I had to ask you to come with me. I know what you have been through but I really need your help," she explained. I smiled at her and said, "No worries, Ingrid. It's really fine." She asked me to come to the office because of some problems that she couldn't understand. It was only a minor p
Jared's POVI went home and looked for my wife and I sighed in relief after I found her in the kitchen with Betty and Mommy Lucy. "Hi, wife," I greeted her and kissed her on her temple as I hugged her tight. "What's wrong, hubby? Is there a problem?" she asked worriedly. Betty and Mommy Lucy were looking at me, worriedly too. I smiled at them and said,"No, nothing. I was just uhm, felt relieved." "Why, is everything OK in the office now?" Colleen asked and I nodded."Mr. Davidson had made up his mind. Maybe Ingrid had pissed him off and had their argument. You know my sister, right?" I replied and she nodded, smiling. "She had a bad temper, that's why I asked you to go with her. You will be able to think better because you're calmer than her," she replied."Yeah, that's why I am so lucky to have a wife like you," I said and she rolled her eyes at me and we all laughed."Now, dear, your husband is here now, so you two had better go somewhere else and not here in the kitchen. Let Bet
Third Person's POV "Are you sure about that?" Stacey asked Derrick. "I thought you said that,--" "Forget what I said!" he exclaimed, and everyone in the visiting room looked at them. "I asked one of my trusted men to look into it and he confirmed it. I am going to make him pay for ruining my career. I am not going to make him live happily with his wife. He did it for his wife, then I am going to make his action worthless." he added, "What are you going to do?" Stacey asked and her eyes widened when she realized something, "Don't tell me, no, stop it, Derrick. The woman was already dying. She wouldn't even last for a year." "That's what makes my revenge sweet, he thinks he still has less than a year to be with his wife," Derrick replied crazily. Stacey was just looking at him in disbelief. She may have been a sl*t and she used Jared, but she can't be a murderer, especially to someone who was already dying. "Look, I was angry at Jared as well. He talked to me with a loudspeaker,
Jared's POV After I talked to Mom, I went home and found Colleen still sleeping. I was thankful because she wouldn't be asking me about the reason for my visit to Mom and I didn't have to lie to her. As much as possible, I want to say everything to her and I feel guilty when I am hiding something from her just like now. It was for her own good. Still, I am not comfortable. That's why I let everyone at home know so they could help me protect her. I went back to my study room and started to polish my plan. I knew that this was going to be very dangerous but it was the only thing I knew to trap Derrick. I didn't want anything to happen to anyone in my family, especially Colleen. And Derrick threatening me is making me feel paranoid all the time. I was already like that because of Colleen's condition. Her illness is like a ticking time bomb that could take her any time. Every day, I pray to God to give us more time to be together. Not for me but for the goodness of Colleen's heart, she
Colleen's POV I didn't notice that I had overslept and I looked for Jared the moment I woke up. I asked Mom where he was and he told me that he was still in his study room, so I went up. I didn't come up here because the stairs were high, but because I wanted to see my husband, I would do it. I knocked before I got in and found him in deep thought. I can tell because of the way he sighed, does he have a problem? I made him notice me and he looked at me. He smiled and, oh, he was so handsome. I don't think I am worthy of him if I am going to look at myself. I am so thin and pregnant, I'm sure you can't imagine how I look too. I asked him whether we had a problem while I got closer to him. He said it was just about his sister agreeing to manage the company even after I gave birth. He made sure that it was nothing after I asked her again and he had me sit on his lap. I love to be sitting on him, but the way I weigh now, makes me feel conscious. He hugged me and, of course, I did the sa
