Sara’s POV

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Zack stood in the doorway, his eyes red and tired, his face etched with regret. I immediately tensed, my walls shooting back up.

“Sara, I’m sorry,” he began, his voice hoarse. “I couldn’t just walk away. I needed to think, but not without you.”

I crossed my arms, my expression guarded. “What do you want, Zack? An apology isn’t going to fix this.”

He stepped closer, his eyes pleading. “I don’t expect it to. I just… I need you to know that I’m not going anywhere. I’m sorry I left. I was overwhelmed, but that doesn’t excuse anything. I love you, Sara, and I want to help you through this. Even if it means facing the truth about my father.”

I looked at him, searching his face for sincerity. The love was still there, but it was buried under layers of hurt and betrayal. “This isn’t just about your father, Zack. It’s about how you handled it, how you just left when I needed you most.”

Zack nodded, his expr

    Sara’s POV I stared at Zack, my chest tightening with anger, disbelief swirling in my head. “Who told you to even *ask* him, Zack?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. “Who gave you the right to bring this up with him? This was supposed to stay between *us*.” Zack looked confused, like he couldn’t understand why I was so upset. “Sara, I—” “No,” I cut him off, my heart pounding. “It wasn’t your place to involve your father. We’ve been trying to move on, to keep everything between us, and now you’ve opened the door for him to twist things around. Do you realize what you’ve done? That man killed my parents, Zack. And now you’re letting him plant these lies, letting him rewrite everything we know?” His eyes dropped to the floor, his fingers rubbing his temples. "I wasn’t trying to—” “Weren’t you?” I shot back, my voice shaking. “Because it feels like you’re questioning everything. You went to *him* for answers, Zack. You shouldn’t have done that! Thi

    Sara’s POV Zack shifted slightly beside me, the mattress dipping under his weight. I could feel the tension in the silence, the kind of quiet that comes with unspoken words and unfinished conversations. The kind that carries the weight of everything we’ve been through. "Are you okay?" His voice was soft, careful, as if he were afraid of breaking the fragile peace between us. I didn’t answer right away. I wasn’t sure what to say, or even if I knew the answer. Okay wasn’t exactly a word that fit right now. "I don’t know," I finally whispered, still facing away. "I want to be." Zack didn’t respond immediately, but I could sense him shifting again, his hand resting briefly on the space between us, close but not touching. "We’ll get there," he said, though there was an uncertainty in his tone, like he wasn’t entirely convinced of his own words. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stop the thoughts swirling in my head. All the fears, all the doubts about where we stood and where

    Sara’s POV I nodded, my heart shattering into a million pieces. “Okay,” I whispered, knowing that there was nothing more I could do. Zack walked past me without another word, heading to the door. I watched as he left the apartment, the sound of the door closing behind him echoing through the empty space. I stood there, alone and broken, knowing that our lives would never be the same again. The truth was out, and it had torn us apart. Anger surged through me, burning hotter than the betrayal I felt. How dare he walk away from this? I was the one who lost my parents. I was the one whose life was shattered because of his father. And now, instead of standing by me, he was just going to walk away? My chest tightened with rage and disbelief. I stormed after him, catching up just as he reached the elevator. “You’re just going to leave?” I snapped, my voice laced with anger. “You think you get to be the one upset right now? I’m the one who should be mad, Zack. I’m the one who’s hu

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter sixty six

    Sara’s POV After Uncle Jude left, I remained in the café, my mind spinning with the revelations I had just heard. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of confusion, betrayal, and fear. My parents had been murdered, and the man who had plans in raising me had planned to kill them himself. And Zack’s father—the man who had been nothing more than a shadow in my life—was the one who had taken everything from me. I needed to talk to Zack, but I didn’t know how. How could I tell him that his father was a murderer? How could I reveal the truth without destroying everything we had built together? As I sat there, my phone buzzed with a message from Mary. *“Are you okay? What happened?”* she asked. I quickly typed a response, trying to keep my emotions in check. *“I’m fine. I’ll explain everything later. Just… keep this between us for now.”* *“Okay. Just be careful, Sara. I’m here if you need me,”* she replied. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I had to be strong. I

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter sixty five

    Sara’s POV It was an unusually warm afternoon when my phone rang. The name that flashed across the screen made my heart skip a beat—Uncle Jude. I hadn’t heard from him in weeks, and the sound of his voice had always brought a wave of unease. Today was no different. His voice on the other end was tense, more strained than usual. “Sara,” he said, skipping the pleasantries. “I need to see you. It’s urgent.” A familiar sense of dread crept up my spine. Uncle Jude had never been the comforting kind of uncle. He was always more of a shadow, lurking in the background of my life, especially after my parents' death. The coldness in his tone, the urgency without explanation, it all set off alarm bells in my mind. “What’s going on, Uncle Jude?” I asked cautiously, trying to keep my voice steady. “Is everything alright?” “Don’t tell Zack,” he interrupted sharply, his voice dropping to a near whisper. “And don’t ask questions. Just meet me at the old café on Maple Street in an hour. W
