Sara’s POV

The day after signing the contract, I went to work feeling a mix of anticipation and dread. The other personal assistant had resumed, bringing a sense of normalcy back to the office. But Zack seemed determined to make my life difficult, piling on menial tasks with a newfound cruelty.

Every assignment felt like a deliberate attempt to break my spirit. From organizing files in an already impeccable order to running unnecessary errands, Zack’s demands were relentless. His harsh demeanor was a stark contrast to the calm, albeit serious, man who had laid out the terms of our agreement.

As I struggled through the day, my mind churned with doubts and questions. How would I cope with living under the same roof as Zack? Could I maintain the facade of a loving wife in public while enduring his hostility in private? Each task he assigned felt like a test, pushing me to the edge of my endurance.

Hours later, Zack called me into his office. His expression was as unreadable as

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter fifty one

    Sara’s POV The night was restless. I tossed and turned, sleep eluding me as the events of the day replayed in my mind like a broken record. The memory of Zack's words, his pleas, his attempts to fix what was shattered, haunted me. But it was Cassandra’s voice that echoed the loudest, taunting me with the knowledge that I wasn’t the first, that Zack had lied to me, hidden things from me. I felt betrayed, a fool for trusting so easily. Finally, just before dawn, I gave up on sleep altogether. I got out of bed and stared out the window at the city below, the lights beginning to flicker out as the sun started its slow climb over the horizon. The morning light did nothing to chase away the darkness that had settled in my heart. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. It was still early, but I needed to get moving. The sooner I was out of here, the better. I freshened up, threw on some clothes, and made my way to the lobby. The hotel was quiet, only a few guests milling about. I ch

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter fifty

    Sara’s POV I rushed outside, my chest heaving with every breath, the tears that had been threatening to spill finally breaking free. The night air was cool, but it did nothing to soothe the fire of pain and betrayal burning inside me. I pressed a hand to my mouth, stifling the sobs that threatened to escape, but it was no use. The dam had broken, and there was no holding back. I sank onto the steps, burying my face in my hands as the tears flowed freely. Everything felt like it was falling apart. Six months into this marriage, and it seemed like every day brought a new secret, a new lie. How had we gotten here? How had everything gone so wrong? For a moment, I considered ending it all—just walking away from this mess, from Zack, from everything. It seemed like the only way to stop the pain. But even as I thought it, my heart ached at the idea of leaving him. Despite everything, I still loved him. But how could I stay when it felt like I didn't even know the man I married? I

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter forty nine

    Sierra’s POV He hesitated, as if weighing his next words carefully. “Because, Sierra… you’re more important than you realize. And there’s something coming—something bigger than the Lawrences, bigger than me or you. You’re at the center of it, whether you like it or not.” A cold shiver ran down my spine. “What are you talking about?” “Just trust me,” he said. “I’ll explain everything in time, but for now, you need to keep your eyes open. The Lawrences may protect you, but even they can’t shield you from what’s coming.” I stared at him, my mind spinning. I wanted to push him for more answers, but the weight in his voice—the urgency—kept me silent. Instead, I found myself asking, “Why now? Why tell me this tonight?” He leaned back, his expression softening slightly. “Because waiting any longer would’ve been a mistake. You deserve to know the truth, Sierra. Even if it’s only a fraction of it.” Before I could respond, movement in the shadows caught my attention. M

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter forty eight

    Sierra’s POV Liam: Hey. About earlier. I think we should talk. Meet me at the park tonight? The park. At night. The idea felt both thrilling and dangerous. I hesitated before typing back a response. Me: What is this about? His reply was almost immediate. Liam: Everything you’ve been wondering. Just trust me, okay? Trust. That word carried so much weight these days, and I wasn’t sure I could give it freely anymore. But the curiosity gnawed at me, and before I could overthink it, I typed back: Me: Fine. What time? Liam: 8 PM. Don’t be late. I shoved my phone back in my pocket, my mind racing. If Liam was finally willing to explain things, then I had to go. Maybe this would be the moment everything finally started to make sense. Later that evening, as the clock neared eight, I stood at the bottom of the staircase, clutching my phone tightly. Bella was sprawled across the couch, scrolling through her phone. She looked up when she noticed me hove

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter forty seven

    Sara’s POV But Zack moved back, avoiding my touch. "No, Sara," he said, his voice strained. "I don't want to hug right now." I felt a sharp pang of hurt. "Is this how it's going to be whenever we fight or argue? I thought we were stronger than this." Zack's eyes flickered with frustration. "I need space. I want to be alone right now." "Really?" I asked, incredulous. "You need space? I thought we were past this. I thought this shouldn't be an issue. Do you not trust me?" He sighed, rubbing his temples. "I don't know if I can trust you right now, Sara. How can I, when something like this happens?" My heart sank. "You don't trust me? After everything we've been through?" He looked away, his jaw tightening. "You take time when you're offended too, Sara. It's not just me." "That's different," I argued. "What’s happening right now isn't even up to that. This is serious, Zack. We're supposed to be a team, and you think I would betray you like this?" Zack shook his head

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter forty six

    Sara’s POV We decided to take a break from the stress and spend the day together. As we lingered over breakfast, the tension from the past weeks seemed to melt away. Zack suggested we skip work, and I couldn’t help but agree. We needed this time to reconnect, to find our footing again in our relationship. Back in our bedroom, the morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over us. Zack’s hands were gentle yet firm as he pulled me close, our lips meeting in a passionate kiss. The world outside ceased to exist as we lost ourselves in each other, the intensity of our love growing with each touch. Our bodies moved in perfect harmony, the previous night’s soreness replaced by a burning desire. Zack’s touch sent shivers down my spine, and every kiss felt like a promise of forever. We spent hours exploring each other, rediscovering the connection that had brought us together in the first place. Afterward, as we lay entwined in each other’s arms, I couldn’t help
