The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 45
Jace’s POVThe call ended, but Adrian’s words echoed in my mind.Who said I haven’t already?I didn’t think. I just moved."Marcus, status!" I barked into my earpiece as I ran to my car."House is secure. No breaches so far," he reported, but there was tension in his voice. "But, boss… something feels off."I hit the gas, speeding through the streets. "Keep everyone on high alert. I’m on my way."Adrian was playing mind games. But I wasn’t about to sit back and wait for him to make his next move.I was going to end this.Arrienne’s POVJanna was asleep in my arms when the lights flickered.A shiver ran down my spine."Marcus?" I called out. "Is everything okay?"He didn’t answer right away. Then—"Ma’am, stay in the room," his voice came through the intercom, tight and controlled.I froze. "Marcus—"A loud BANG from downstairs.Janna stirred in my arms.Fear clawed up my throat. No. No, no, no."Marcus!" I whispered harshly. "What was that?"I heard muffled shouts through my earpiece.

Jace’s POVThe smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air as I carried Arrienne and Janna out of the warehouse. Marcus was already barking orders, securing the perimeter, making sure any remaining threats were eliminated.It was over.Or so I thought.As I walked toward the waiting SUV, my instincts screamed at me.Someone was watching.I turned slightly, scanning the darkness. The feeling was too strong to ignore, but there was nothing—no movement, no figures, just the eerie silence of the night.Yet I knew better.We weren’t alone.May’s POVFrom my hiding spot near the airstrip fence, I watched them leave.Jace Garcia. The man who stole everything from me.He thought Adrian was the mastermind. That taking him out meant the game was over.He had no idea.I clenched my fist.Adrian was a fool. He let his emotions take control. Revenge had made him reckless.But me?I was patient. Calculated. Unseen.And now, I had a new plan.Jace wouldn’t see it coming.I reached into my coat pock

Jace’s POVI burst through the shattered front door, adrenaline surging. Bullets whizzed past as I sprinted down the corridor. Every second counted. I could hear distant shouts and the thump of heavy boots."Arrienne! Janna!" I barked into my earpiece.My eyes darted around—smoke, chaos, and shadowy figures in pursuit. I vaulted over debris and dove around a fallen bookshelf. A burst of gunfire sent splinters flying, and I gritted my teeth, determined to get to my family before it was too late.Down the hall, I spotted a door left ajar with flickering light. I burst in to find two masked men ransacking the study. I fired off a couple of rapid shots. One went down instantly; the other slumped against the wall. My pulse thundered as I raced toward the staircase, every step echoing in my ears.Arrienne’s POVI crouched behind a reinforced door in the safe room, clutching Janna close. The steady beat of my heart drowned out the chaos outside.I heard the muffled sounds of a struggle—shout

Jace’s POVI stood in the dimly lit warehouse, tension coiling through every muscle. The SUV was parked discreetly behind crates, Marcus guarding the entrance with hawk-like precision. Arrienne and Janna were safe—for now.But safety was an illusion. Not while my enemy still breathed.I pulled out my tablet and scanned the security logs Marcus had retrieved. Dozens of names, timestamps, and data transfers. Most of it routine. But one entry stood out.May.Her access to the secure server was logged just hours before the leak. Coincidence? I didn’t believe in them."Jace," Marcus called, stepping inside. "The safe house is ready. We can move Arrienne and Janna there tonight."I nodded, my mind spinning. "Do it. And tighten security. I don’t trust anyone."Marcus hesitated. "Not even May?"I looked up sharply. "Especially not May."May’s POVI watched the GPS tracker on my burner phone as the little dot—Jace’s SUV—moved across the city. Heading for the safe house, no doubt.He thinks he'

Jace’s POVI held the gun steady, but my pulse hammered in my ears. May’s smirk didn’t falter as she turned to face me, as if my weapon was nothing more than a toy in a child's hand."You’ve been busy, May," I said, my voice low and deadly. "I should have known.""You should have," she replied smoothly. "But you were too blind. Too trusting." Her eyes flicked to Arrienne, standing frozen behind me. "You were too busy protecting your perfect little family to see what was right in front of you."I stepped forward. "Why, May? Why betray me?"She laughed softly, but there was no humor in it—only bitterness. "Because you chose her." She glanced at Arrienne. "You chose a woman who walked into your life and took everything I deserved. I was there from the start, Jace. I was your right hand, your confidante, and yet..." She shook her head. "You never saw me."I clenched my jaw. "This isn’t about love. This is about greed.""No," she hissed. "This is about respect. About power. And yes, about

Jace’s POVThe flames devoured the safe house, sending plumes of smoke into the sky. I stood still, holding Arrienne and Janna close, feeling the weight of failure crush me.I was supposed to keep them safe.But I failed.Arrienne's trembling hand pressed against my chest. "Jace… it's over, right?"I wished I could say yes. I wished I could lie.But I couldn't."No," I said, my voice low. "This is just the beginning."Marcus stood a few feet away, his eyes scanning the horizon, his jaw tense. He’d seen it too. The message May sent. The warning that someone else was pulling the strings.And whoever that was… they weren't done with us.Marcus’s POVI should've seen it sooner. The gaps in security. The whispers behind closed doors.May was dangerous, but she wasn’t the mastermind.Someone else was feeding her power. Someone with the resources to orchestrate attacks, manipulate evidence, and tear Jace’s empire apart from the shadows.And now, with the safe house gone, we were vulnerable.

Arrienne’s POVI could still feel Jace’s cold stare long after he had left me standing in the dimly lit office. The air felt heavy, thick with unspoken accusations and doubts that tore at my chest.How had we come to this? When did love turn into suspicion?I clenched my fists. No. I wouldn't let this destroy us. I wouldn't let someone rip apart the life we had fought so hard to build.But the deeper question remained. Who was framing me? And why?I glanced down at the financial records again, my heart pounding. The signatures were flawless—too flawless. Whoever did this knew me. Knew my habits, my writing style.And if they knew me this well… they were close.Too close.Jace’s POVI stood outside the office, leaning against the wall, my head throbbing with confusion.I wanted to believe Arrienne. I needed to believe her. But every shred of logic screamed otherwise. The forged signatures. The secret calls. The transfers.And yet… her eyes. That look of raw, genuine betrayal when I que

Jace’s POVThe world had collapsed in a single breath.Arrienne. Janna. Gone.The note crumpled in my hand, the jagged scrawl searing into my memory: "You lose, Jace."Not yet. Not ever.I stood in the dim glow of the security monitor, the house around me silent but heavy with tension. Marcus lingered nearby, his expression grim, his hand resting on the gun holstered at his side. But his eyes—those told me everything. Guilt. Failure. Fear."How did they get in?" I asked, my voice low but sharp, cutting through the silence like a blade.Marcus shook his head, his jaw tight. "They knew the security codes. The routes. The cameras." He hesitated. "It was an inside job."Inside.May.My mind turned, twisting through every interaction, every moment, every carefully calculated move she'd made. Trust had been my weakness, and she'd used it like a weapon.And now, my family was paying the price.I slammed my fist into the wall, the pain shooting up my arm, grounding me. "We find them. Now."Ma

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

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
