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 de

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 95

    Sara’s POV We left Gerald’s hideout with a clear target in mind: the warehouse. My heart was pounding with a mix of fear and adrenaline as I replayed his words over and over. If what he said was true, we were walking into the lion’s den—but that was exactly where we needed to be. Zack drove, his face tight with focus, while Gerald sat slumped in the back seat, looking like a man condemned. His silence was heavy, but I could tell he was still holding back, still terrified of what we were about to do. I couldn’t blame him—Richard was powerful, ruthless, and had a network of people who would kill to protect him. “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this,” I muttered, more to myself than to anyone else. Zack’s gaze flicked over to me briefly before returning to the road. “We don’t have a choice. If we don’t take this shot, he’ll keep getting away with it.” I nodded, gripping the edge of my seat. “And more people will die.” Zack’s knuckles tightened on the steering wheel. “Exac

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 94

    Sara’s POV I nodded, my mind already racing. “We go after him. No more waiting, no more hiding. Richard needs to be taken down, and we’ll be the ones to do it.” Zack’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. “It’s not that simple, Sara. He has connections, resources. We can’t just show up and accuse him. We need evidence. Solid evidence.” “I know.” My voice was cold, the rage bubbling just beneath the surface. “Gerald’s confession isn’t enough. We need to dig deeper, find out how he covered it up, who helped him, and bring everything to light. Richard may be powerful, but he’s not invincible.” Zack gave a sharp nod. “We’ll start with Gerald. He knows more than he’s letting on. He may be scared, but he’s our best lead.” I glanced at Zack, my heart hardening. “We can’t trust him, not fully. But we’ll use him. He’s involved, and he knows where the bodies are buried—maybe literally. We push him for details, and we don’t stop until we have enough to take Richard down.” Zack par

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 93

    Sara’s POV I hesitated for a moment before sitting down, every fiber of my being telling me this man was hiding something dangerous, something that had the potential to change everything. Zack sat beside me, his hand resting protectively on my knee, a silent gesture to remind me that I wasn’t alone. But no matter how close we were, the weight of the truth we were about to uncover would be mine to bear. Gerald slumped into a chair opposite us, his fingers trembling slightly as he rubbed them together. His eyes flickered with memories that seemed too heavy to speak of, and for a moment, I thought he might back out. “Your parents… and Richard,” he started, his voice gravelly. “It was never supposed to go this far. What happened—” He broke off, shaking his head as if he was reliving a nightmare. I leaned forward, my voice tense. “Go this far? What do you mean, Gerald? What happened to my parents?” His gaze locked onto mine, and I saw fear there. Deep, unsettling fear. “I was inv

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 92

    Sara’s POV The next morning, I couldn’t get Gerald Thompson out of my mind. His name had been there all along, hidden in plain sight, and yet none of us had thought to dig deeper into his connection to Richard or my parents. I quickly dressed, ready to share what I’d found with Zack and Margaret. As I made my way to the kitchen, the weight of everything pressed heavily on my shoulders. Every step felt like I was inching closer to something dangerous, yet I couldn’t turn back. Gerald could be the one person who had the answers I needed, but I had no idea what I would find once I opened that door. Zack was already sitting at the table, staring at the papers we had gathered. His eyes flicked up as I entered, and he could tell right away that something was different. “What is it?” he asked, his voice low. I slid the paper with Gerald Thompson’s name toward him. “This. We’ve been missing something—someone. Gerald Thompson. He used to work with Richard and my parents. I think he

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 91

    Sara’s POV I frowned. “You knew him?” “Not well,” she admitted, “but I knew enough. Your parents trusted him with their business dealings, at least for a while. But there were whispers. Things your mother never told you. I don’t know all the details, but I do know your father started pulling away from Richard before… before the accident.” My stomach twisted. “So, my parents didn’t trust him at the end?” “I think they started to see what kind of man he really was,” Margaret said, her voice grim. “But by then, it was too late.” Zack and I exchanged a look. Richard’s role in all of this was becoming clearer, but there were still too many unanswered questions. Why would he kill my parents? What did he stand to gain? “What do you think he was after?” Zack asked, his voice hoarse. “Why would he kill them?” Margaret sighed, leaning forward. “Power, money, control. Your parents had a lot of influence, Sara. More than you might have realized. I’m sure Richard saw them as an obstac

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter 90

    Sara’s POV Zack and I hurried out of the hotel, a storm of thoughts and fear swirling between us. The streets felt colder, sharper than before, and the air itself seemed to hum with a new kind of danger. Every step we took away from the hotel felt like a step closer to the unknown, and it was terrifying. Zack kept looking over his shoulder as we reached the car, his hands gripping the keys tightly. “We have to stay a few steps ahead of them. Whoever they are, they won’t stop until we’re silenced.” I climbed into the passenger seat, my heart still racing from Aaron’s call. Richard’s money laundering scheme, Jude’s involvement—it all started to form a web of deceit and lies that spanned far longer than I could’ve ever imagined. This wasn’t just about my parents’ death anymore. It was something much bigger, and much darker. Zack started the car, pulling out onto the quiet street. The night stretched out before us like a threat. “We can’t keep moving from place to place,” he sai
