The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Sienna, Are You Okay?

"Pardon me, Miss Sienna, we have arrived."

Logan’s calm voice gently pulled Sienna out of the shallow sleep she had unknowingly slipped into. Her eyes slowly opened, heavy with exhaustion.

For a brief moment, her mind struggled to catch up with reality after the endless nightmare of the night she had just survived.

Then she blinked and lifted her head slightly, staring through the window.

Her apartment building stood right in front of them.

The sky was still dark. The roads were nearly empty, the silence almost unreal compared to the chaos still running through her body and mind.

"Thank you, Logan..." she murmured softly.

Her voice sounded weak even to her own ears.

Not wanting to waste any more of his time, Sienna quickly grabbed her handbag and stepped out of the car.

The cold early-morning air immediately greeted her face, but instead of refreshing her, it only made her realize how deeply tired she truly was.

Every part of her body ached. Her shoulders were stiff. Her head felt unusually heavy. Even standing upright took more effort than it should. Still, she forced herself to remain composed.

After watching Logan drive away, Sienna turned toward the entrance of her apartment building.

"Finally, I’m home." She muttered in relief.

Now, she merely desired a warm shower, to rest on her cozy bed, and to get a few hours of restful sleep. She’s truly wishing she could enjoy such restful moments for several days in a row.

However—

She had barely taken a few steps when a familiar voice suddenly stopped her in her tracks.

"Sienna..."

Her footsteps halted instantly when she recognized that familiar voice. Without warning, her heart raced in her chest.

She glanced over her shoulder and noticed a car parked nearby. Standing there was Zachary Sterling.

Instantly, the world around her seemed to pause. She blinked several times, trying to convince her exhausted eyes. Worrying that her gaze was playing tricks on her in the poor lighting.

She knew Zachary was supposed to be overseas, thousands of miles away, yet there he was, staring directly at her.

Before she could even process what she was seeing, Zachary began walking toward her.

"Zach, you..." She can’t finish her words as Zachary now stands before her. Only a step away.

Close enough for her to clearly see him beneath the dim streetlights. Close enough to notice the quiet tension beneath his usually unreadable expression.

But he didn’t speak immediately. He simply looked at her, silently and carefully. His eyes moved across her face as if checking for injuries she hadn’t mentioned. As if searching for proof that she was alright.

Sienna stared back at him, unable to look away.

’Zach, you came... And you even canceled his business trip for me.’ Just hearing her own thoughts was enough to make her smile.

Tonight had been long for her. She had spent hours trying to hold herself together, not allowing herself to think too deeply about any of it. But seeing him standing here, so close...

Somewhere in her chest, the tightly wound knot of tension loosened unexpectedly. She didn’t even know how to put into words what she felt right now... Relief, gratitude, confusion, all of it blending into one.

This man, even though he is in another country, still sent his lawyer and managed everything to assist her, without waiting for her to ask.
