The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Meeting Him Again (1)

The elevator ride down felt strangely short.

Sienna stood alone in the quiet space, clutching her phone tightly as she stared at her reflection in the mirrored wall before her.

On the outside, she looked calm enough—composed, steady, even slightly tired after spending hours with her friends.

But inside? Her thoughts were an absolute mess.

She had imagined meeting Zachary again this Saturday, but she had never expected to see him today. Just thinking about it made her heart beat uncontrollably fast.

The elevator doors slid open softly on the ground floor, immediately pulling her from her thoughts.

As she stepped outside, the cool night air brushed her skin gently, calming her slightly.

The city was quieter now compared to earlier in the evening, though the distant sound of traffic still lingered in the air.

Sienna quickly unlocked her phone and scrolled to find Zachary’s number. But before the call could even ring, a black SUV pulled up right in front of her, stopping so smoothly and precisely that it almost felt intentional.

She halted immediately.

For several seconds, Sienna stared at the car suspiciously.

Then, instinctively, she stepped back, preparing to continue calling—

However, before she could move farther away, the tinted window slowly rolled down.

And there he was—

Zachary sat behind the wheel, one hand resting casually on the steering wheel, his posture relaxed and composed as always. The dim glow from the streetlights brushed softly across his sharp features, making him look annoyingly handsome in an effortless way that instantly ruined Sienna’s ability to think straight.

A gentle smile slowly spread across her lips before she could stop it.

And without realizing it, she found herself walking toward the car.

But the closer she got, the faster her heart beat.

Seeing him like this—calmly waiting for her in the late night, dressed neatly, looking far too attractive for her peace of mind—suddenly made everything feel real. This is not a dream anymore.

His gaze settled quietly on her.

Then he gestured toward the passenger seat.

Sienna’s smile widened without permission, and her heart pounded so loudly she was almost certain he could hear it.

"Get in," Zachary said gently.

At the same time, he unlocked the passenger door from inside the car.

Sienna quickly made her way to the vehicle and slid into the passenger seat. Instantly, the faint scent of his fresh cologne, mingling with the cool air inside the car, filled her nose.

She had prepared so many sentences in her head during the elevator ride, from questions and greetings to something smooth and natural.

But in the end, the only thing that came out was "Hi..."

Sienna was too worried that Zachary would see her happy expression, so she tried hard to pretend to be calm.

She saw him glance at her briefly, and although his expression remained calm, there was something softer in his eyes tonight.

"Hi," he replied quietly.

Sienna nodded, then quickly closed the door and fastened her seatbelt, desperately trying to keep her hands steady on her lap over her bag.

It had only been a few days since they last met. Yet sitting this close to him suddenly felt dangerous to her poor heart.

Her heart was beating faster than usual.

At the same time, however, warmth slowly spread inside her chest, a quiet comfort feeling she didn’t know how to explain.
