"Hey, witch, stop pacing!" Jacky shrieked.
I couldn't sit still and had been walking back and forth in front of her for a while now. I was having second thoughts about going to the place Jace told me to meet him. What could we possibly talk about? I was so nervous. "It's just, friend, I'm really nervous. What do you think we'll talk about?" I asked, turning to face her. "Maybe he wants to make things right, girl." She said without hesitation. "What if he doesn't? What if we talk about an annulment?" "Oh, girl? I thought you didn't like him? That's the only thing missing between you two, right? What's the problem with that? If that's what he wants to talk about, then it's for the best." She said. You're right, aren't I? Why am I so nervous? "You have a point. You're really smart, Jacky. I'm not surprised you passed the board exams." I just said. But I knew I still looked completely flustered. "You love him, you just don't want to admit it." She whispered. "What love are you talking about?" I snapped at her, giving her a nasty look. She chuckled softly, "Wow, you're so dramatic. You're giving yourself away." She even made a funny face. "And I spoke so quietly, you heard that? You have great hearing, girl!" "You're crazy! I don't have good hearing. Your voice is just really loud." I sat down on the couch. "Tsss. I'm really nervous!" I blurted out. My heart was still racing. She looked at me and stood up. "Whatever. I'm going to my room. I'm getting dizzy from you." She rolled her eyes and walked towards her room. I just sat there, staring blankly, waiting for the time to pass. Until I looked at the wall clock. Sh*t, it's six o'clock already. I better get dressed. Even if it's only a fifteen-minute drive, it's better to be early than just sit here. I went to my room and picked out an outfit. I just grabbed whatever I saw first. Whatever, I'll figure it out later!Jace's POV
Quarter to seven.
Will she come? I'm nervous. I hope she comes. I'm planning to make things right with her and start over. This time, I hope it works. When I saw her in the office earlier, I felt a pang in my heart. I remembered how she left me. It hurt so much. I did everything, gave her everything she wanted, but it wasn't enough. She still left me. I can't get over what happened. To be honest, I was ready to forgive her back then. When I saw her earlier, I didn't plan on getting back together. I thought that you shouldn't force someone who doesn't want it. She doesn't want to be with me, okay, no need to force it. But I changed my mind earlier when I saw her files.Flashback I jumped up when I saw an email from Candy. This must be what I've been waiting for. I opened it immediately and downloaded the attached document. I smiled when I saw Lana's Curriculum Vitae.ARRIENNE JILL RAMOS GARCIA As expected, that's what it said. I was right, she's still using my last name. I stroked my chin and smirked involuntarily. I glanced over all the information there. Personal Information Sex : Female Age : 21 Civil Status : Single Birthday : December 15, 1990 Weight : 110 lbs. Height : 5"3' Nationality : Filipino Religion : Roman Catholic I continued scrolling down when I stopped. Wait, something seems wrong. I furrowed my brow and went back to the first page. I stared at every detail. Personal Information Sex : Female Age : 21 Civil Status : Single Birthday : December 15, 1990 Weight : 110 lbs. Height : 5"3' Nationality : Filipino Religion : Roman Catholic I just burst out laughing when I realized what was wrong. I shook my head and looked at it again. I wasn't satisfied and even bolded it. Civil Status : Single She's using my last name, but her civil status is single. I know she can be a little clueless sometimes, but to make a mistake like this? That's not just a little clueless.End of flashback I looked at my wristwatch. It's seven fifteen. I looked at the entrance of the restaurant. Where is that woman? I checked my phone, but there was no text from her. "Are you ready to order, Sir?" I looked at the waiter who approached me. "I'm still waiting for someone. But a cup of coffee will do." Get here, Arrienne! If you don't, you're dead to me! I thought when we were still together. She was always late for our meetings. I sat down confidently. She'll come, just be patient, Jace. Seven thirty. I rubbed my face. I was tapping my fingers on the table while looking at the entrance. I couldn't take it anymore, so I grabbed my phone and dialed her number. The number you have dialled is either un... I immediately cut off the operator's voice on the other end. She's not coming, huh? I let out a sigh. You're really in trouble, woman, if you don't show up. Seven forty-five. Okay. Enough waiting. She's not coming. It's so annoying. At least she could have told me she wasn't coming so I wouldn't look like a fool waiting for her. I stood up with a frown and left some cash on the table. We'll settle this tomorrow, Arrienne.

The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 68
ARRIENNE’S POV The world felt heavier than usual. Maybe it was the exhaustion, or maybe it was the way the silence lingered too long after the meeting. I sat alone in the safe house’s veranda, nursing a cup of ginger tea, the soft breeze rustling the curtains behind me. My hand instinctively rested on my belly—though the baby was now out in the world, the phantom pressure still clung to me. Postpartum fatigue, they said. Trauma, I believed. Janna was asleep inside, curled beside her little brother who still didn’t have a name. Because naming a child meant hope. And I wasn’t sure how much hope we had left. Jace had been quieter since the attack. Focused. Guarded. But the way his eyes lingered on the walls, always calculating, always expecting the next betrayal—it scared me more than any gunfire. “Ma’am?” It was Cal, one of Jace’s most trusted men. He stood by the door, hesitant. “There’s someone here. Says you asked to see her.” I stood, confused. “Who?” But the moment she ste
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 67
Arrienne's POV The cold air seemed to seep into my bones as I sat beside Jace in the dimly lit room, the walls closing in with every passing second. The weight of our situation pressed down on me, and I couldn’t help but feel the growing distance between us. I had seen Jace battle enemies, face impossible odds, and remain unshaken—but now, I saw a different side of him. One I had never seen before. He was holding on by a thread. The once unshakable leader was now constantly on edge, his sharp focus turning inward as though he was slowly suffocating under the burden of everything that had gone wrong. Every move we made, every decision, felt like it could be our last. He didn’t talk much anymore, his words more clipped than before. He’d taken to pacing when he couldn’t stand the stillness, running his fingers through his hair as though the weight of his thoughts was too much to bear. “Jace,” I said quietly, reaching for his hand, my voice barely above a whisper. “You need to rest.”
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 66
Arrienne's POVThe days blurred together, each one filled with preparations, each one filled with dread. Every morning, the air felt heavier, the shadows longer, and the silence deeper. We had been forced into hiding, a far cry from the life we once led. The constant threat loomed over us like a storm cloud, and there was no predicting when it would finally break.But amidst the danger, there was something else: a deep, aching love that kept pulling me back to Jace. No matter how many walls I built up, no matter how many times I told myself I couldn’t be vulnerable, I always found myself reaching for him, wanting him more than anything. He was my anchor in the chaos.I glanced over at him now, watching him from across the room as he went over blueprints for our next move. The sharpness in his features, the way his brows furrowed as he studied the paper, showed the weight of what he was carrying. His eyes, though hard and calculating, softened whenever they met mine, but only for a bri
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 65
Arrienne’s POVI woke to the sound of silence—almost too perfect. It had been days since we last heard from our enemies, but the stillness felt off. I knew better than to believe we were safe just because things seemed calm. The world around us had been spiraling out of control, and I had the sinking feeling that it was only a matter of time before the storm hit again.I sat up in bed, clutching the sheets to my chest, the weight of the past few weeks still hanging heavily in my mind. Jace had been distant lately, though his eyes never left me when we were together. He wasn’t just worried about me anymore—he was afraid of what we’d become, afraid of losing more than we already had.I took a deep breath and pushed myself out of bed, forcing myself to move despite the exhaustion that clung to my bones. The baby was kicking, a gentle reminder of the life growing inside me. There was so much at stake. More than I ever imagined.As I stood in front of the mirror, I caught sight of the bruis
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 64
Arrienne’s POVThe air in the room felt thick, like the weight of our survival was pressing down on us, crushing everything we held dear. Every step I took, every breath I took, felt like it was an eternity. The sounds of the men approaching only made my heart race harder, my body stiff with tension. I kept my daughter close, her trembling form a reminder of how fragile this world could be.Jace moved ahead, his sharp instincts guiding him. He didn’t need to say a word, but I could see it in his eyes—the same determination that had always been there. He wasn’t just trying to survive; he was fighting to protect everything that mattered.I had seen him in countless battles, in situations where we should’ve been long gone, and yet he had always found a way. He was a master at keeping his composure, at seeing through the chaos. But this time… this time felt different. The weight of what we were facing was heavier, more immediate. The danger was close enough to taste.“Arrienne,” Jace’s voi
The New Boss Is My Husband Chapter 63
Arrienne's POVThe darkness in the panic room was suffocating. My breath came in sharp gasps as I clutched my son tightly to my chest. The weight of the situation crashed over me in waves. The fact that we were under attack again, that my family was in danger once more, felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.I kept my eyes on Jace. He stood rigid, his gun in hand, his face set in stone. The same cold determination I knew so well, the same strength that had kept us alive through every danger, was there—but it was different now. His eyes, normally filled with calculated resolve, were clouded with something far deeper. A raw, primal fear. Fear for us. For our children.I knew what he was thinking. He had seen me bleed before, seen me face down death, but this was different. This time, the enemy wasn’t just after me—it was after everything we had built, everything we held dear. And Jace wasn’t about to let that happen.I reached for his hand, pulling it to my stomach. "Jace," I whi
