The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 27
Arrienne's POVI was talking to Ms. Carmen in a conference room. I had just handed her my resignation letter."Are you sure about this?" she asked while reading it.I nodded."Okay. If this is really what you want, I'll inform Ma'am Remy so we can hire your replacement," she said.I noticed the smile on her face. She looked happy that I was leaving. Well, lately, she didn’t seem to know how to treat me—whether as her staff or as the wife of her boss.She often assigned tasks to Karen and Lucy instead. Sometimes, I felt useless here. Honestly, there were times when I had nothing to do at all."If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up being Sir Jace’s wife?" she asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.Because we got married? I answered in my head."It's a long story, Ms. Carmen," I simply replied.She rested her chin on her hand, looking interested."We're not busy anyway. We have all the time we need."I just smiled at her and stayed silent.She seemed to get the message that I di

Arrienne's POVI slowly stopped crying, even though my scalp still hurt from Jean pulling my hair.I felt lighter because of Jace’s embrace.I was so touched by the things he said. But poor Jean—so that’s why she acted that way. She had loved Jace for a long time.I lifted my head to look at Jace. His face was filled with worry. I smiled at him, hoping it would make him feel better.He smiled back."Do you want to go home?" he asked.I nodded. I didn’t want to stay here any longer after what happened."Okay, let’s go home," he said, then picked up my things.He put his arm around me and guided me out of the room. But before we left, he turned to Ms. Carmen."Ahm, Ms. Carmen, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you—Arrienne’s taking a half-day off," he said before we continued walking.When we got into the elevator, he pressed 5."Let’s get my stuff first," he said, then kissed the top of my head.When we arrived, I saw May looking confused. Maybe because I was with Jace."May, cancel all my ap

Warning !Warning ! Warning Slight Spg !Arrienne POVDad is having dinner with us tonight. He canceled his dinner meeting when he found out we were spending the night here."It's good to see you. We miss our baby." Dad said, looking at me.I smiled. We're finally back to normal. Unlike when he forced me to marry Jace, I didn't talk to him because I was so angry. But now? I'm so grateful to him."So, are we going to have a grandchild soon?"I choked on my food. Jace immediately handed me water and rubbed my back. When I looked at him, he was trying not to laugh.Haiz... Dad really! Is it okay to ask that while we're eating?And Jace, he's so happy!"Don't be impatient, Dad. You're too excited, that's why we can't make one." Jace said, laughing.I glared at him, but he just laughed at me."Mom, your cooking tastes even better today." Dad said to Mom."Hmph! Your son cooked that!" Mom said.We laughed at her reaction. She rolled her eyes at Dad."Oh, my best child cooked this." Dad smil

Arrienne´s POVThe days passed by quickly. It’s Saturday now. I’ve somewhat gotten used to being called "Ma’am" at the office. I don’t really pay much attention to it anymore. But I did get a little annoyed yesterday. My trainee, Charmaine—my replacement—suddenly started acting distant around me. She seemed so scared of making mistakes that she ended up making even more. I later found out that someone had gossiped to her that I was the owner’s wife. No wonder she was acting like that. Right now, I’m cleaning the house. I don’t really have anything else to do. And Jace? He’s still working, even on a Saturday. He’s in the living room, completely focused. At this rate, he might as well build an office here. I grabbed a glass of juice to bring to him. "Aren’t we going to get too rich at this rate? You barely even take a break from work," I teased as I hugged him from behind the sofa and handed him the glass. He let out a soft chuckle and took a sip. After setting the glass down,

I flinched when Jace entered the room. I quickly hid the paper I was holding. I could feel him walking toward me."Hey, Babes!" He sat down on the floor beside me and wrapped his arms around my waist.He glanced over my shoulder at the scattered files in front of me."What are you going to do with these?" he asked, referring to the documents."I was just going to sort them out. I want to organize the most important ones so they’ll be easier to find," I replied."Leave that for later. I’m hungry," he said in a playful tone before kissing my shoulder.He must have noticed that something was bothering me. He turned me to face him."Is something wrong?" he asked, frowning.I shook my head. I didn’t know how to tell him."Come on, let’s go downstairs. I’ll start cooking."It's Friday. Meaning, today is my last day at work. Just thinking about staying home all day already makes me feel restless.Jace and I arrived at the office earlier than usual. He said he had something important to finish

Arrienne´s POVJace and I are currently on our way to Morong. We’re going to celebrate Genna’s birthday at her uncle’s resort, and we’ll also be celebrating my birthday at the same time. I brought some home-cooked dishes and barbecue for us to grill later. Everyone loves them—it’s always their request whenever we have gatherings. We agreed to meet at 9 AM, so Jace and I left the house at 8. The trip from Antipolo to Morong isn’t that long, but we still left early. I’ve just gotten used to always being on time when meeting up with friends—unlike at the office, where I’m often late. I’m the complete opposite, right? Even though I know we won’t be complete until 11, I still couldn’t help but come early. I’m excited. Jace also seems excited—like he said, he wants to bond with my friends too. Since we got married, he’s only had brief moments with them. We arrived at the resort around 9 AM. Genna was already there—what a miracle! Hahaha. Aya was there too, but that didn’t surprise m

Arrienne´s POVMama and I are now preparing for Noche Buena. It's Christmas later, and we're celebrating it here at my parents' house. We won't be spending it with Jace's mom because she has something important to take care of in the States.Jace isn't here yet because he had to go to the office. You know, workaholic. But he already said he's on his way.Since I stopped working, I've been spending more time here at Mama's house. It's boring at home—I don't have much to do except clean and cook. At least when I'm here, I get to bond with Mama.On December 15, my birthday, he prepared so many surprises for me. I swear, I'm so lucky to have him as my husband. First, he took me to Hong Kong Disneyland. That was on a Thursday. He didn’t go to work on Thursday and Friday.We had so much fun there. Since it was our first time visiting, we were like kids, overwhelmed with excitement.We stayed for two days, and when we got back to the Philippines, we went straight to the townhouse he gifted m

Arrienne´s POVIt's January 1. Right now, I’m on my way to Joy’s house. I mean, Joy’s mansion. Every year, we celebrate New Year’s there. It’s kind of like a tradition for us at this point. Tradition? Wow, that sounds so serious! I’m riding a taxi since my super loving husband, Jace, couldn’t come with me. As usual, work again. Imagine, it’s a holiday!! But apparently, there was an issue at his business in Makati. He said he’d follow later, so I didn’t bring my car. I actually wanted to take a jeepney, but he wouldn’t let me. He insisted I take a taxi instead. So overprotective! Last night, it was just the two of us welcoming the New Year at home. We were supposed to go to my parents’ house again, but they went on vacation in Paris. They called it their honeymoon. =_= And they didn’t want to bring us. As if we’d ruin it for them. We had a movie marathon while waiting for midnight. I had already cooked earlier in the day, so all I had to do was heat it up at midnight. And gue

The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 65
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
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 60
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
