The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 51
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

Jace’s POVThe house felt different now. Colder. Heavier.The echoes of May’s betrayal lingered in every corner. No matter how many times I walked through these halls, I couldn't shake the shadow of her presence. She had been here—every day. Trusted. Respected. And all along, she’d been plotting to destroy me. To destroy us.I watched Arrienne from across the room. She stood by the window, arms wrapped around herself, her eyes distant as she watched Janna play in the garden. I knew that look. She was trying to hold it all together—for Janna, for me. But the cracks were there. I could see them."I should’ve seen it," I said quietly, breaking the silence.Arrienne didn’t look away from the window. "You trusted her."I shook my head. "And that trust almost cost me everything."Her gaze finally met mine, soft but edged with pain. "Trust isn’t weakness, Jace. It’s what makes you human."But that was just it. Humanity had been my downfall. I trusted too easily, gave loyalty too freely. And

Arrienne’s POVThe name burned into my mind.Marcus.I stared at the paper, heart hammering in my chest. No. It couldn’t be true. Marcus was family. Loyal. Always there when we needed him. Jace trusted him with his life, and so did I.But why would May lie?And why had she risked everything to warn me?I folded the paper, shoving it deep into my pocket, as if hiding it could erase the truth. But it was too late for that.I had to be sure. I had to know.Because if Marcus was the traitor... the enemy wasn’t just close.He was already inside.Jace’s POVSomething was wrong.Arrienne had been quiet all night, her smile forced, her eyes shadowed with something she wouldn’t share. I knew her too well. I could feel the distance between us, thick and suffocating.And Marcus—he was acting strange too. Tense. Watching me when he thought I wasn’t looking. Hiding something.Was it guilt?Or was it just me, seeing shadows where there were none?"Marcus wants to meet tomorrow," Arrienne said sudde

Arrienne’s POVThe air between the three of us was heavy—thick with tension, suspicion, and something worse: betrayal.Jace’s eyes were cold, like stone, but beneath the surface, I could see the storm brewing. Confusion. Hurt. Rage.And Marcus… his face twisted with desperation, like a man clinging to the edge of a cliff, knowing the fall was inevitable.I wanted to believe Marcus. I needed to believe him. But the evidence—the footage, the whispers, the timing—how could I ignore it?Unless…Unless someone was controlling the game."I need the truth," I whispered. My voice was raw, shaking. "All of it."Marcus shook his head, his fists clenched. "I was in the archives. But I wasn’t there to leak anything. I was following someone."Jace’s jaw tightened. "Who?"Marcus looked between us, his gaze sharp. "May."Jace’s POVHer name struck me like lightning.May? The one person still holding the strings of this investigation? The one person I hadn’t suspected—because she’d been too close, to

Jace’s POVThe ashes of my life lay at my feet.The house. The memories. Arrienne.Gone.The world felt like static—blurred and hollow, as though I wasn’t really here, wasn’t really breathing. Marcus stood beside me, his face pale, his eyes shadowed with grief.But I didn’t care.Because she was gone.And it was my fault.Three days passed. I hadn’t slept. I hadn’t eaten. My mind replayed the fire on a loop. Her scream. The heat. The finality.But grief wasn’t the only thing clawing at my throat.It was anger.Because someone had done this.And I would find them.Marcus’s POVI watched Jace break, piece by piece. His rage burned hotter than the fire that had taken Arrienne. And I was scared—scared of what he might do.But more than that, I was scared of what I knew.Because deep down, I wasn’t sure anymore.Was it really May behind this? Or was there someone else, someone even darker, pulling the strings?And worse—was it already too late to stop them?May’s POVThey thought it was ov

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

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 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

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
