Sara’s POV

After the confrontation at the mall, and the conversation we had after, Zack and I found a new rhythm. His apologies were genuine, and for the first time, I felt like we were moving forward together. Conversations that once felt forced now flowed naturally, and the walls between us began to crumble.

Our mornings started with coffee together, a simple yet meaningful ritual. One morning, as we sat at the breakfast table, Zack looked up from his newspaper and asked, "Sara, what do you think about the new project at work?"

Surprised by the question, I paused. "Which project?"

"The merger with the international firm," he said, setting down his paper and giving me his full attention.

I took a sip of my coffee, considering my response. "I think it's a great opportunity for growth. The international exposure could be beneficial for both companies."

Zack nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I agree. I'm glad you see it that way."

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter thirty two

    Sara’s POV The party was in full swing, the grand ballroom buzzing with the chatter of high-profile guests. Zack's grandfather had outdone himself with the event, ensuring that every detail was perfect. The decorations were opulent, with towering floral arrangements and glittering chandeliers casting a warm glow over the room. A live orchestra played soft music, setting the mood for the evening. Zack had been by my side for most of the night, introducing me to various business associates and friends. His presence was reassuring, and I felt more comfortable navigating the social minefield of the event. However, as the evening progressed, Zack excused himself to speak with a group of important investors. "I'll be back soon," he said, giving my hand a squeeze before disappearing into the crowd. I stood near the edge of the ballroom, sipping my drink and trying to blend in. It was the first time this night I was alone, and I felt a bit vulnerable. That's when I saw Derick appro

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter thirty

    Sara’s POV Days turned into weeks, and the atmosphere between Zack and me began to thaw. Our interactions, once marked by tense silences and cold shoulders, started to show signs of warmth, albeit small and infrequent. Each morning began with tentative attempts at conversation. At first, it was awkward and forced, but gradually, we found common ground. It started with the little things. Over breakfast, we'd talk about our schedules for the day. "So, what's on your agenda today?" Zack asked one morning, breaking the silence that had settled over our shared meal. I looked up, surprised by the question. "Um, just the usual. Sorting documents, paperwork. Nothing too exciting," I replied, trying to keep my tone casual. He nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. "We’ve got a meeting with the board. Should be interesting." "Good luck with that," I said, offering a small smile. "Thanks," he replied, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. These small exchanges

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter twenty nine

    Sara’s POV The intensity of Zack’s kiss was overwhelming, I responded in kind, but just as quickly as it began, I pushed him away, my hands trembling with a mix of confusion and anger. "One minute you’re kissing me, and the next minute you’re distancing yourself," I said, my voice shaking. "What do you want from me, Zack?" He stepped back, his expression flat. "It was a mistake," he said coldly. "It won’t happen again." His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall in front of him. Instead, I turned away, my heart breaking. "Fine," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I won’t let you affect me again." Zack didn’t react. "Sara, this is just business." I spun around, my anger flaring. "Really? Because it sure seems like you’re enjoying watching me suffer. This is just business but you’re kissing me when there’s no outsider here." Zack’s face remained impassive. "This marriage is a business arrangement, not

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter twenty eight

    Sara’s POV Since Zack and I got married, we have established a routine of going home together every evening. Despite this regularity, our rides home have been marked by a pervasive silence, creating an atmosphere that is undeniably awkward and uncomfortable. Our lack of communication during these journeys has only served to heighten the strangeness of the situation, making each trip home feel like an uneasy ritual. However, today's events deviated from our usual pattern. After completing my work for the day, I meticulously gathered all my belongings, ensuring I didn't forget anything important. Once I was certain I had everything I needed, I made my way out of the office building. Typically, Zack and I would leave together, but today he seemed particularly reluctant to leave his office. I decided to wait for him outside, by the car that is always parked in the same spot, right in front of the office building. The car, a familiar sight in my daily routine, felt almost like a b

  • Arrogant CEO   Chapter twenty seven

    Sara’s POV The ride to work was tense and silent, much like the days that preceded it. Zack and I shared the backseat, but not a word passed between us. The silence was deafening, a chasm growing wider with each mile. When we finally arrived at the office, Zack turned to me, his voice cold and distant. "We have a meeting with Derick in a few minutes. Prepare the conference room." I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. The thought of facing Derick again after our last encounter made my stomach churn, but I pushed the feeling aside and focused on my tasks. As Zack headed to his office, I remained outside, organizing the necessary documents and setting up the room. Time passed slowly, each minute feeling like an hour. Finally, Derick arrived, his presence instantly filling the room with an air of unwelcome tension. As we exchanged polite greetings, I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling his presence brought. The meeting started smoothly, discussions about business strategies an
