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?”

  • 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
