All Chapters of The New Boss Is My Husband: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Arrienne’s POVThe silence in the safe house was different now. Not peaceful—just… waiting. Heavy. Every ticking second felt like a countdown, but to what, I wasn’t sure.Janna sat quietly beside me, her small fingers braiding the hem of my shawl. Her eyes, so much like Jace’s, held a quiet awareness far beyond her years. Across the room, our newborn son slept soundly, his tiny chest rising and falling like nothing in the world could ever touch him.But we knew better.Jace stood by the window, arms crossed, his eyes scanning the dark horizon. He hadn’t spoken much since the night of the ambush. Not really. He was here—but somewhere else, too. His mind always moving, planning, fighting shadows I couldn’t see.“Any word from Aiden?” I asked quietly.He shook his head. “Nothing since his last check-in. They’re sweeping the last safehouses. If Dominic’s still moving, he’s doing it quietly.”I swallowed. Dominic.The name had once been synonymous with loyalty. With family. Now, it tasted l

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

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

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.”

ARRIENNE’S POVDominic’s body collapsed into Cal’s arms before he could take another step toward us. I rushed forward despite Cal’s warnings, my heart pounding painfully against my ribs. Janna peeked from the door behind me, clutching the frame with small trembling fingers, but I signaled her to stay back.Blood coated Dominic’s arms. His clothes were torn. His skin was gray—like he’d been starved of sunlight, hope, and air.“Get him inside!” I commanded.The guards moved quickly, lifting him carefully, but his eyes found mine before he lost consciousness.“A-Arrienne…” His voice cracked, barely a whisper. “He’s coming. I tried… I tried to stop him.”My stomach churned.Nathan.The storm I’d felt wasn’t just intuition—it was a warning.We dragged Dominic into the safe house, laying him on the couch as Mateo called for the medics. Jace’s office door opened violently, the sound echoing like a gunshot.“What the hell—?”The moment Jace saw Dominic, he froze mid-step.His hand curled slow
