The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 14
Do we really need to welcome him? He’s been here for weeks already.And a welcome party on a Monday?? Wouldn’t it be better on a Friday? That way, there’s no work the next day.This reminds me of last weekend. It was so much fun when we went to EK and Manila Ocean Park.{Flashback}"As long as you’re happy, I’ll do anything."WaaaahhhH!!! Those seven words hit differently. I was so giddy!I tried my best not to smile too much.He looked at me."Hey, why are you so quiet?""Hmmmn?"I kept my mouth shut because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from squealing.Why do I feel like this?Am I starting to like him?"I said, why aren’t you talking?"I just shook my head and looked outside.He suddenly laughed.I got annoyed.I looked at him with furrowed brows."What’s so funny?" I asked, irritated."You," he said."What? What’s so funny about me, huh?" I snapped."You’re just so cute when you’re flustered," he said, amused.I gasped.O_OHow does he know?? Was it that obvious th

Arrienne´s POV"Hi, did you forget our anniversary?" Jace asked.Waaaahhhh!!! Karen is right here! Have you lost your mind???"Ahh, I didn't forget. I'm just wondering why I need to take a leave," I said while glancing at Karen through the rearview mirror.=_=She looked like a dehydrated fly.Her eyes were wide open, and she seemed pale."We're going somewhere. That's where we'll celebrate our anniversary.""And your birthday," I absentmindedly added.He smiled and looked at me."And my birthday."His smile was still wide as he turned to Karen. We were finally out of traffic."Karen, where do you live?""Ahh... V-Valleygolf, Sir," Karen stammered."Okay. We'll drop you off at your place," Jace said."Oh no, Sir! Just drop me off at the corner," Karen quickly said."Are you sure?" I asked her, looking at her again.She just nodded.When we got home, I went straight to the bedroom first.Jace got a call, so he stayed in the living room to answer it.I suddenly thought, Mom isn’t here a

It's Saturday.I invited Jacky to go shopping. I planned to buy a gift for Jace for his birthday. Well, it’s still on Friday, but I’m sure I won’t have time to buy anything later. And I need an opinion because I have no idea what to get.KrriiiiiiiinnnnNNnngggGGgg!!!“Haller…”“Where are you?? We’re already here!” Jacky said.“Wait a minute. I’m already in Tikling. Hold on, I’m getting on a jeepney.”“Okies. We’re in front of Watsons.”We were meeting at SM Taytay.Wait.Did she say ‘we’??As far as I know, she was the only one coming with me.When I got off the jeepney, I immediately saw Jacky—with…O_OMaico???“Jacky,” I called out to her.“Oh, you’re here! I brought Maico along. We need his help since you’re buying a gift for Jace.”I just smiled at Maico.“Let’s go,” Jacky said.We walked around and went into almost every store.Mostly, Maico was the one commenting on whether something was good or not.Good thing Jacky brought him along. If it was just the two of us, we would’ve

I couldn't help but feel shy and giddy from the comments I overheard as Jace and I walked past people. We were at the supermarket, shopping for what we needed for... wherever we were going. He still hadn't told me."They look so cute together," I heard someone say as we passed by.I couldn't help but smile at that.Right now, we were wearing couple shirts. I had no idea what got into Jace when he bought these.The design of our shirts?A seesaw.Half of the seesaw was on his shirt, with the guy sitting on the lower end.Mine had the other half, with the girl sitting on the upper end.I laughed when he handed me my shirt while already wearing his.I remembered how, as kids, we always played on the seesaw at the playground.Actually, that was the first time I called him Tommy the Frog.One time, I played a prank on him. I jumped off while I was on the higher end of the seesaw, making him crash down.He even bounced a little, so I told him he looked like a frog.I knew it must have hurt,

Jace’s POVI woke up to the sunlight streaming through the window.Arrienne was still asleep.I was holding her close, her head nestled against my chest.I still couldn't believe what had happened. She'd just given herself to me.I expected to be her first, but it still felt different when I confirmed it. I felt overwhelming pride.I never really planned for it to happen. I just got carried away by my emotions.I kissed her forehead."Hmmmm," Arrienne murmured."Wake up, Babes. We won’t be able to enjoy the surroundings if you just sleep there."She opened her eyes slightly."Just a little longer. You kept me up late last night," she mumbled before closing her eyes again.I chuckled.She didn’t mean anything by that, but my mind still went somewhere else.I kissed her lips, just like I did in the car to wake her up."Okay, okay! I’m getting up!" she said as she quickly sat up.Because of her sudden movement, the blanket slipped down, exposing her chest.She quickly pulled it up and sh

Arrienne´s POVIt's our last day here.We'll be leaving this place later at dusk to avoid being on the road at midnight.Right now, we're in front of the sea, watching the sunrise.I looked at Jace beside me. He was smiling while gazing at the rising sun.He was holding my right hand, gently caressing it.I started to wonder.Does he love me too?Wait.Did I say too??Yeah.Okay.I'll admit it!!I love him!!I can't get him out of my mind, not even for a second.I'm so happy when I'm with him.I don't even notice my surroundings when he's around. It's like we're the only people in the world. Well, I won’t count right now. We really are the only ones here!My heart races every time he kisses me.Okay, I won’t say that what I feel for him is different in that aspect because I have nothing to compare it to.He's my first kiss, after all.I was NBSB when we got married! (No Boyfriend Since Birth)And whenever he looks at me, I feel like I’m melting!Tell me, aren’t these signs that I real

I was on my way to the office, driving my brand-new Ford ranger—Jace’s gift to me.He left early this morning. His flight to Davao was at 7 AM.That’s why I also woke up early. I didn’t want him to leave without eating breakfast.We spent time together last night—movie marathon. He said he’d be gone for a while, so we had to make the most of our time.What a crazy guy.=_=When I got to the office, since I didn’t have a parking pass yet, I parked in the public parking area.I happened to arrive at the same time as someone from the AR department—Lea, the office gossip."Nice car!" she said."Ahh, thanks.""A gift?" she asked.I just nodded.That evening, I met up with Papa at Mega.Actually, I was the one who called him.I don’t know, I just missed him. And I also wanted to thank him.If he hadn’t insisted on me marrying Jace, I wouldn’t be this happy, right?We met at Jollibee.Cheap, right?Hahaha, but Jollibee has always been our favorite fast food chain. When I was a kid, Papa and

The days passed quickly.It was already Friday.I only went to work yesterday. I was on sick leave for two days.But when I returned, everything was still the same.Only Karen was talking to me properly.I ended up getting really sick on Tuesday, which was why I didn’t go to work. Maybe I cried too much.Jace called me every day, but I never asked him about it. It would be better to talk about it when he returns so things would be clearer. It’s not good to discuss things like this over the phone.That very night when Jean answered my call, Jace called me later on.{flashback}kKkrrrRriiiiinnnnNNnnngGGGGggggI opened my eyes.I hadn’t realized I had fallen asleep from crying.I reached for my phone on the bedside table.Calling...Tommy ko 3Should I answer it?I took a deep breath and answered the call."Hello." My voice cracked."Hi, Babes! Did I wake you up? Sorry I could only call now. I was super busy earlier," he said.I looked at the alarm clock on my bedside table.11:30 PM."A

Jace’s POVMy world tilted.Standing in the dim light, the figure emerged—confident, composed, but with a sharp glint of danger in his eyes."Nathan," I whispered. Disbelief sliced through me.Nathan. My oldest friend. My most trusted ally. The man I would’ve staked my life on."Surprised?" he asked smoothly, stepping closer. His smile was cold. Calculated. "You shouldn’t be."I couldn’t speak. Couldn’t think.Why?How?Arrienne’s POVShock held me still, the air heavy with betrayal. Nathan?But... he was family. Jace’s most loyal friend."Why?" I managed to croak out. My hand pressed protectively to my stomach. "Why would you do this?"Nathan’s eyes flicked to me, emotionless. "Because loyalty means nothing when you're always second place."May’s POVI stared, my heart hammering. Him?Nathan had promised me power. Promised me revenge.But this wasn’t the plan."You said Jace would suffer, but not like this," I hissed.He smiled darkly. "Plans change, May."I realized it then. I wasn’

Karen’s POVThe weight of the flash drive in my pocket felt heavier with every step I took. Evidence. Proof. The one thing that could save Jace—or destroy him completely.I hesitated outside Jace’s office. Was I ready for this? Ready to rip open the lie May had crafted so flawlessly?But the answer was already clear.I had to tell him.I knocked once and stepped inside. Jace looked up, his face shadowed with exhaustion and suspicion."What is it, Karen?" His tone was sharp, guarded.I swallowed hard and placed the flash drive on his desk."You need to see this."He stared at it, then back at me. "What is it?""Proof," I said quietly. "That the person betraying you isn’t Arrienne."He hesitated, doubt flickering across his face. But then he inserted the drive and watched as the footage played.May. Entering his office. Accessing files. Transferring data.The color drained from his face."No," he whispered. "It can’t be."But it was.And the truth shattered something in both of us.Jace
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 63
Arrienne’s POVMy hands trembled as I gripped the damning papers Jace had thrown on the table. My name, clear as day, linked to transfers I knew nothing about."This isn't me," I said, my voice sharp, almost panicked. "Jace, you have to believe me."But his face was stone. Silent. Unreadable.I stepped closer, searching his eyes. "You know me. You know I would never—"He stepped back. Just an inch, but enough to cut me deeper than words."I thought I knew," he said quietly.And with those four words, my world crumbled.Jace’s POVI wanted to believe her. God, I wanted to believe her.But the evidence was right there, cold and undeniable.What if the woman I loved was hiding secrets darker than I ever imagined?Marcus walked in, his face grim. "We’ve traced the account that received the funds. Offshore. Hard to track. But..."I didn’t want to hear it."Just say it," I ordered."The account is linked to someone... close." He hesitated, then met my gaze. "It’s in May’s name."The ground
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 62
Jace’s POVThe note in Arrienne’s trembling hand burned into my mind."You're looking in the wrong place."The implications were deadly. Someone was already inside—someone we trusted.I tightened my grip on her arm, my mind racing. "We need to check the security system. Every camera feed. Every access log."Arrienne nodded, though her face remained pale. "And Janna… we need to check on her first."Fear pierced my chest. I cursed myself for not thinking of it sooner.We ran.Arrienne’s POVI pushed open the nursery door, my heart pounding so hard it hurt.Janna lay fast asleep, her tiny chest rising and falling with steady breaths. Her innocence, her safety—it was all I cared about.I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, whispering a prayer. But my relief was short-lived.Because when I turned around, I noticed something strange.The window. Slightly ajar.Jace’s eyes darkened as he reached for it, inspecting the latch. "Someone was here."I swallowed back a cry. They’d been this close
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 61
Arrienne's POVThe hospital room was quiet, save for the soft beeping of the heart monitor. I sat by May's bedside, holding her hand gently, as if my touch alone could keep her tethered to this world.The bullet had torn through her side, and though the doctors said she was stable, I could still see the shadow of pain etched across her face."You're safe now," I whispered, brushing stray hair from her forehead. "It's over."But was it?The ghost of Marcus's betrayal still lingered. I could feel it pressing against my chest, threatening to suffocate me.How did we miss it? How did we trust him for so long, only to be stabbed in the back?And worse... what if we weren't done yet?Jace's POVI stood outside May's room, my fists clenched at my sides. The anger still burned, even though Marcus was in custody.Betrayal.It wasn't just a word. It was a wound, deep and raw.I thought I’d seen it all in business—greed, competition, ambition. But I never imagined betrayal would come from the ma

Arrienne’s POVThe dim light from the single bulb above flickered, casting shadows across the cold concrete floor. My wrists ached, bound tightly behind me. The ropes cut into my skin, but the real pain wasn’t physical.It was betrayal.Karen stood in front of me, arms crossed, her smile sharp and venomous."I always wondered," she said, circling me slowly, "what it would feel like to be the woman who takes everything from you."I struggled against the ropes. "Why? Why are you doing this?"Her laugh was low and bitter. "Because you took what should've been mine. Jace. His trust. His respect. You walked into his life and took it all, while I stood by, invisible.""You were his friend," I said, my voice shaking. "You were supposed to be mine."Karen’s gaze darkened. "I was nothing to him. Nothing to any of you. Just the assistant. The helper. The shadow. But now..." Her smile widened. "Now I'm the one pulling the strings."Jace’s POVThe warehouse loomed ahead, an empty, hollow structur
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 59
Arrienne’s POVThe drive felt heavier than it should. Like it wasn’t just a piece of metal but a grenade, waiting to explode.Jace inserted it into his laptop, and the screen flickered to life. Files popped up—dozens of them. Some labeled innocently, others… not so much.One folder stood out: "Project Eclipse."I frowned. "What is that?"Jace didn’t answer. He just clicked it open.And what we saw made my heart stop.There were emails—hundreds of them. Messages between May and someone else. Anonymous. Cold. Ruthless.But one message chilled me to the bone."Phase two is ready. Once Marcus is taken down, Jace will be next."I covered my mouth, feeling sick."She… she was never working alone," I whispered.Jace’s jaw clenched, his hands curling into fists. "We’ve been playing checkers while they’ve been playing chess."And we were already losing.Marcus’s POVThe silence in my car felt suffocating. I drove with no destination, my mind spiraling.I couldn’t trust anyone.Not after what J
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 58
Marcus’s POVI wasn’t just standing guard anymore. I was hunting.May’s betrayal ran deeper than we thought—deeper than Jace or Arrienne even realized. But I wasn’t going to tell them yet. Not until I was sure.Because betrayal wasn’t just a wound. It was a cancer. And it had already spread into places we hadn’t seen.I pulled up the encrypted file I’d intercepted from May’s phone—an untraceable message sent to an unknown contact just days before her arrest. The message was simple. But deadly."It’s done. Phase two begins."Phase two?What the hell was May still planning from behind bars?I had one shot to figure it out. And if I failed…Jace wouldn’t just lose his company.He’d lose everything.Arrienne’s POVI sat in the office, staring at the encrypted file May had left behind. It was hidden beneath layers of security, like she knew someone would find it—but only when it was too late.My hand hovered over the keyboard, torn between wanting to know the truth and fearing it.Because
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 57
Jace’s POVThe room felt colder. The walls tighter. Every breath I took was laced with doubt and rage.May’s eyes were sharp, but she didn’t step back."You’re hiding something," I said, my voice low and dangerous. "Aren’t you, May?"Her lips curled slightly, but the innocence was gone."What are you saying, Jace?" she asked softly. Sweetly. Too sweet.I clenched my fists. "I think you know."The door slammed open.Marcus stormed in, his face set and determined. In his hand was a flash drive."I have the proof," he said, his voice like steel.For a moment, the world stopped.May’s eyes flicked to the drive, and I saw it.Fear.Real fear.Arrienne’s POVHope.It was faint, but it pulsed through me like fire.Jace turned, his face pale but composed. He took the drive from Marcus, his fingers trembling.He connected it to his phone.Tension crackled in the air like electricity.And then—Footage.May.Forging signatures. Altering emails. Slipping fake evidence into Karen’s files.Betraya
