The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 7
"Arrienne! Arrienne! Arrienne!"Someone was waving in front of my face. I blinked and looked up—it was Jace. He was leaning against his desk, furrowing his brows at me, still holding a stress ball in one hand."Are you even listening?" There was a hint of irritation in his tone.I gasped. Oh no, what did he just say?"Uhm... what?" I replied hesitantly.He let out a deep sigh, clearly annoyed. "I said, I need your answer. Are you taking the offer or not?"I swallowed hard. This is it.Should I accept his offer to live in his house? Or should I stand my ground even if I have nowhere else to go?Ahh, it’s so hard to find a job these days. I don’t even have any savings—what am I going to do? That guy is so frustrating!From what I saw earlier, he really seems serious about firing me. Has he not thought about how much I struggled to get this job? And now he’s just going to take it away, just like that?What if I just accept his offer? I let out a deep sigh and started walking back. Wait,

Arrienne's POVIt was only four o'clock, but I had already finished packing. I wasn’t bringing everything with me—just the important things. Besides, I wasn’t going to live there forever.I looked around the condo. I was definitely going to miss this place. I had lived here for two years.I remembered how Jace used to be such a good husband to me. I mean, he was a perfect husband. He gave me whatever I wanted, did whatever I wanted... well, not everything, but if he could, he’d give it to me right away without hesitation. I hope he’s still the same as before. I hope he hasn’t changed because of what I did. And yes, it was my fault that we separated.I once met a guy from UP. He was handsome, smart, a gentleman, and rich. A dream guy for any girl. I admit, I did have a small crush on him. But not to the point where I wanted to have a relationship with him.But this guy really liked me. He was hitting on me, and he thought we had "something." But for me, he was just a friend. Then the d

Jace’s POVIt was almost one in the morning, and I still couldn’t sleep properly. Ugh, I really needed my energy for tomorrow since I had a business proposal to present.I thought about Arrienne. Hahaha! She was so funny this morning! What a weirdo. But honestly, she wasn’t like that with other people. To them, she was "prim and proper."I was actually shocked when someone once told me how lucky I was to have married her. They said she was kind, generous, graceful, etc., etc. Take note—graceful?! Was that supposed to be a joke??She’s been a little crazy since we were kids. That’s why she used to annoy me so much. But when I moved to the States… damn, I missed her mischief like crazy.Hhhuuuhhuuuhuhhuuuuhhuu[W/N: Guys, that’s a sound effect of someone crying, hehe]Wait, what was that? Someone’s crying?I sat up.It sounded like it was coming from the balcony.Was that Arrienne? No way, she was downstairs. She wouldn’t climb up here just to cry, right?I opened the door leading to th

"Maico...""!" He suddenly hugged me.O_OHe let go, but his hands were still on my shoulders."How have you been??" He hesitated. "H-how are you two?"I pretended not to understand what he meant."Huh? Oh, I'm doing fine."He smiled.I knew he was referring to how things were between me and Jace."Arrienne!" Jacky called out. "Why did you suddenly..." She glanced at Maico. "..run?" she whispered, not taking her eyes off him.The other three followed behind her, and they also froze upon seeing Maico."Ah, I was just going to the restroom. I told you, didn’t I?"They didn't answer and just walked toward me.Genna and Jacky stood beside me, while Joy and Aya just stared.They weren’t even smiling."Hi, Maico. Nice seeing you... again." Jacky emphasized.Genna subtly pulled my hair."Oww!" I suddenly yelped.Maico looked at me, his expression filled with concern."Why, Arrienne? What happened to you?" Maico asked.I glanced at Genna.She gave me a mischievous smile."Oh, nothing. A MOSQU

Arrienne´s POVI saw how extremely happy my parents were because of what Jace said. Aiiissshhh! That crazy guy! He’s just giving them false hope!They excitedly started talking about what the baby’s name would be if it were a boy or a girl.A name already?? We haven’t even made one yet!Why does it sound like you want to make one? – said the voice in my head.No, I don’t!!Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Jace stood up to check who it was.I followed him.“Jace, hijo!!” Jace’s mom exclaimed when she saw us at the door.“Mom!” Jace said with a smile as he opened the door for her.The mother and son embraced tightly as I walked closer.“Arrienne, baby…” Jace’s mom said sweetly, hugging me.“Mom…” I said.“I’m so glad you two made up. I was overjoyed when Jace told me you were back together. Did you know I even screamed in excitement when I heard?” Jace’s mom kept talking as we walked inside the house.She really never stops talking!“Balae!” my dad called out as soon as we entered the dinin

Arrienne´s POVI'm so happy! ^_^In fairness, I haven’t been late this week. Jace has been giving me a ride every day. We just don’t always go home together. That guy is such a workaholic!Ever since I moved into his room, things have been fine between us. No more bickering, and he’s even become a little sweet to me.Well, yeah, when Mom is around, he’s super sweet. Obviously, best actor.But at least he’s not teasing me anymore!"Hey, I have some gossip for you!" Karen suddenly shouted the moment she walked in."What gossip?" Lucy asked.Psh. These girls are into gossip first thing in the morning!I looked at Karen. What kind of gossip could this be?"You know what? Stop fantasizing about Sir Jace. Because he’s taken!"Oh no!! Looks like they found out that we’re married!But so what if they know? — my other self answered.Yeah, that’s true. We’re fine now anyway. I continued listening, waiting for her to say that Jace is already married."He has a girlfriend, girl!" Karen said.Girl

Arrienne's POVAaawwww, my head hurts so much!Wait, what time is it? I forced my eyes open and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table.9 AM.I need to get up. I need medicine. My head is killing me.Who even told you to drink, huh? See what you got yourself into!I got up and went to the bathroom.What exactly happened when I got home?AiiiissshhHhh! The only thing I remember is Jace helping me to bed.I looked at the mirror. I was wearing my sleepwear.Wait.I don't remember changing my clothes!O_OI instinctively hugged myself. Could it be??Waaaahhhh!!! Did he change my clothes??No way. You probably changed last night and just don’t remember.But no! The last thing I remember is lying down, and then nothing.I went down to the kitchen. I was starving.When I got downstairs, Jace was in the living room reading the newspaper."You're awake. There's food in the kitchen."He stood up and walked with me to the kitchen."Hold on, I'll heat up this soup. Your head must be killi

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

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
