The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Maybe Because Of Me?

Sienna let out a long breath as if releasing the last bit of stress from the day.

"Well, it’s a win-win for us," she added lightly. "That’s why we went out tonight."

There was a brief pause before she continued, her tone brightening again.

"We went to Virelle Lounge," she said. "Do you know that place? It’s not far from the Imperial Hotel."

"Yes," he replied simply. "I know."

Sienna nodded to herself, even though he couldn’t see it.

"We had dinner, drank a little, and just... celebrated," she said. "Because today felt like heaven finally decided to help us."

She smiled softly.

"And I just got home."

"I see..." His response was short.

Sienna tilted her head and looked a bit concerned. "Zach," she asked softly, "is my story boring?"

She tried to sound casual, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

On the other end, Zachary cleared his throat. "No," he said firmly. "I was just surprised."

"Surprised?"

"Yes. I can’t believe someone could have such malicious intent," his tone turning colder. "Using guest safety issues to trap you and your team is horrible..."

Sienna agreed. That was exactly what troubled her the most. In their line of work, guests were everything.

"I agree with you. Guests are not just customers," she said quietly. "They trust us. When they stay at the hotel, they trust us with their safety and convenience. That’s why this situation... It’s not just about my career."

Her fingers tightened slightly around her phone.

"It’s about something bigger than that." There was a pause as Sienna took a deep breath silently, "But someone helped us in the end," she added, almost thoughtfully.

"Someone?" Zachary asked.

"Hmm, someone. But, we still don’t know who it was," she admitted. "Well, whoever sent the evidence, they sent it with complete anonymity. No name. No trace. But they have... everything we need to prove we’re innocent."

Her voice softened with curiosity. "It’s strange, isn’t it? As if someone or some people out there are watching over us. Still, I feel so grateful... I hope God can repay their good deeds to us."

Silence.

For a moment, there was no response from the other end.

...

And somewhere far away, in a quiet room lit only by dim light, Zachary listened to her voice.

A faint, unreadable smile touched Zachary’s lips as silence stretched between them, soft but heavy with unspoken thoughts.

He leaned back slightly in his seat, his gaze drifting to the dim city lights beyond his window, though his mind was far from the view in front of him.

There were too many questions circling in his head. Questions he had no intention of answering, at least not yet.

He had helped her. That much was clear.

But why?

He wasn’t the type of person to interfere in someone else’s problem, especially not to this extent. And yet, when it came to Sienna, his usual logic seemed to quietly step aside, as if it had decided to take a day off without asking for permission.

He exhaled slowly, shaking his head just a little.

No, he wouldn’t tell her that he was the one who gave them the evidence. Not now. Or, maybe not ever.
