Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 36

Sarah's POV.

I stood at the large windows of my office, looking out at the city below. The view was impressive, but my thoughts were miles away.

It had been a few days since I slammed the door in Richard and Wesley's faces.

A part of me wondered if I had overreacted, but the larger part of me knew that it was time to take control of my life.

I was done being pushed around, done letting them dictate my emotions.

Richard married me for his inheritance-that truth still stung. But what hurt more was that I spent years hoping he'd fall in love with me.

That one day, he'd see me as more than just a means to an end. And Wesley?

I didn't even know where to start with him. He claimed he was helping me with my business, but instead he was just using me to get under Richard's skin.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I needed to stop thinking about them.

I had more important things to focus on, like my company. After everything that had happened, my business had become my lifeline.

It was the one thing I could control, the one thing I was proud of. And now, I was determined to take it to the next level.

A knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts. "Come in," I called, turning away from the window.

Zoe stepped inside with her usual clipboard in hand.

"Sarah, you have a meeting in an hour with the team to discuss the new product launch. And I've scheduled a call with the potential investors for tomorrow morning." "Thanks, Zoe," I said, smiling at her. "I'll be ready."

She hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Are you okay? You've seemed... distracted lately."

I forced a smile, not wanting to burden her with my personal drama. "I'm fine. Just a lot on my mind. But I'm focused, I promise."

Zoe nodded, still looking a little uncertain, but she didn't press further. "Alright. Let me know if you need anything."
