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. But he didn't eat it at all. In the morning, I prepare his clothes for work. At least I can do simple things for him, and it was up to him whether he would accept it or not.Doing my duty as his wife was difficult in the sense that he didn't like that I was doing it. I was hoping that he would just cooperate with me, not make any more demands, and be civil with each other. We can be friends, if not real lovers; after all, I didn't want to hurt him in the
Third Person's POVColleen didn't manage to get the surgery, and she feels sad about it. Dr. Gerard was disappointed in her, thinking she didn't try to ask Jared. He even told her to ask Claire or Ingrid for money, but she refused it. He thought that she didn't care for her life at all. Colleen feels sorry for him, and he decides not to talk to her about it.After a few months, Dr. Gerard came back to himself and was very attentive to Colleen during her checkup. He was worried for her, and he likes her, but he can't do anything for her. He had a feeling that Colleen didn't want him to worry about her and that she was scared of what would happen to him when she'd gone.It was their usual check-up, and Dr. Gerard was happy to know that everything was normal. He thought that she had been consistently having a normal result with all her laboratories, so she would be able to have her surgery just in case another donor came their way."Dr. Gerard," Colleen said, and he looked at her, waiting
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
