All Chapters of The New Boss Is My Husband: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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 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

I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I drove to Jace’s office. The OB’s words kept echoing in my head over and over again.Congratulations, Mrs. Garcia… you’re four weeks pregnant.Congratulations, Mrs. Garcia… you’re four weeks pregnant.Congratulations, Mrs. Garcia… you’re four weeks pregnant.Jace is going to be so happy. What will his reaction be? I can't wait to tell him.In just a few more minutes, I’ll be at his office. Just a little longer, and I’ll make you the happiest man, Jace.I glanced at the rearview mirror. That pickup truck behind me… It’s been following me for a while now. I’ve been seeing it since I left the house. Weird. But maybe it’s just a coincidence. Or maybe it’s a different pickup truck that just looks the same. There are plenty of red pickup trucks in the Philippines, after all.It was already two in the afternoon when I arrived."Wow, Ma'am Arrienne, you're glowing today!" one of the employees—probably from HR—told me."Thanks!"Glowing? Haha, of cours

Arrienne´s POVI placed the flowers down and lit a candle in front of the two graves before me. It has been three years since the accident, yet the wounds in our hearts still feel fresh. I have forgiven Jean for what she did. After all, she is no longer in this world, and holding on to hatred would be pointless. We later found out that her parents had planned to take her to a mental hospital, having noticed her deteriorating sanity. They never expected things to turn out the way they did. They believed Jean could still recover. Although we had no fault in her losing her mind, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. I knew exactly why she ended up that way. It was because of her love for Jace—the love she gave to my husband that he could never return. That guilt fades, however, when I remember how Jace died right before my eyes. How I nearly lost my own sanity as I listened to the sound signaling that his life had slipped away. "Mommy!!" I snapped out of my thoughts when li

Jace clenched his phone in his hand, his knuckles turning white. The voice on the other end was a warning—no, a declaration of war.Arrienne watched him, her heart pounding. “Jace… what do we do now?”Jace inhaled deeply, his CEO instincts kicking in. “We don’t panic. We fight.”He turned on his heel and strode toward his study, his mind racing. The lawsuit wasn’t just an attack on his company—it was a calculated move to ruin everything he had built.Arrienne followed him inside. “You said this was a setup. But why now? Why is Cassandra’s family suddenly coming after you?”Jace rubbed his temples. “Because of a recent merger we finalized. We acquired Montenegro Tech, their family’s struggling company. They lost their biggest asset, and now they want revenge.”Arrienne’s stomach twisted. “So this is about money?”Jace shook his head. “It’s about power. They don’t just want me to pay. They want to destroy my reputation, my company, and my name.” He sat at his desk, pulling out his lapto
