By the time Sienna reached the small hotel on the outskirts of the city, the airport was already far behind her.

She paid the driver in cash and walked through the narrow glass entrance without looking back. The lobby was quiet, with only the low hum of an air conditioner and the occasional movement of the receptionist behind the desk.

She gave a false name, paid for two nights in advance, and accepted the key without asking for anything more than a room.

The room was nothing like the places sh

  • The Billionaire I Met On My Worst Night    Chapter 169 — Back to Julian

    Sienna waited until the second morning before making her move.Julian had visited her at the hotel the previous evening and offered to let her stay with him.She had not accepted immediately.She had wanted him to believe she was still uncertain. Still afraid. Still worried about causing trouble for him.But after another night alone in the small hotel room, she made her decision.She couldn't stay there forever.Julian's loft offered something the hotel could not.Safety.Privacy.And, most importantly, someone who trusted her.She checked out before sunrise.She had no luggage with her. She carried only her handbag and the clothes she was wearing.But she knew that wouldn't matter.Some of her clothes were already at Julian's loft. A few personal things remained in the master bedroom and bathroom, reminders of how often she had stayed with him whenever she wasn't at her own apartment.She took a taxi across the city, watching familiar streets pass through the window.Julian's loft w

    By the time Sienna reached the small hotel on the outskirts of the city, the airport was already far behind her.She paid the driver in cash and walked through the narrow glass entrance without looking back. The lobby was quiet, with only the low hum of an air conditioner and the occasional movement of the receptionist behind the desk.She gave a false name, paid for two nights in advance, and accepted the key without asking for anything more than a room.The room was nothing like the places she had been accustomed to.The carpet was worn near the doorway. One corner of the curtains hung slightly crooked, and the bedside lamp had a yellowed shade that cast uneven light across the walls.Sienna placed her handbag on the chair and stood in the center of the room, listening to the unfamiliar silence.For several seconds, she simply stared at the bed, as though waiting for someone to tell her what she was supposed to do next.No one came.She slowly removed her coat and laid it across the

    Sienna remained in the quieter section of the terminal, sitting near a row of closed shops with her handbag resting against her knees.She had already made her decision.She had not boarded the plane.Now she only needed to make sure nobody realized it until it was too late to stop her.Her phone remained switched off. She did not want Vance—or anyone connected to Edward—to have any reason to contact her while she was still inside the airport.Time passed slowly.Announcements echoed through the terminal as passengers moved between gates, collected their belongings, and disappeared through the various exits. Sienna kept her head down and waited.Eventually, she looked toward the departure board.Her flight was no longer listed as boarding.It had departed.Sienna stared at the screen for several seconds.A quiet breath escaped her.She had done it.But she was not safe yet.Vance still needed to leave the airport believing that she had boarded.She remained seated.Minutes passed.The

    The car rolled beneath the covered entrance of the airport, and the change in surroundings was immediate. Beyond the tinted windows, luggage carts rattled over the pavement, airport staff moved between waiting vehicles, and travelers hurried through the automatic doors with phones pressed to their ears and passports tucked into their hands.Sienna kept her face turned toward the window, watching the stream of strangers disappear into the terminal while her handbag rested against her side. She had spent the entire drive calculating what Edward expected to happen next, and the answer was simple enough: she was supposed to walk into that building, board the plane, and become someone the Stewart family no longer had to think about.Vance turned off the engine but did not immediately get out. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard, then at Sienna, his expression unchanged."We have time before boarding," he said. "I'll stay with you until you're through security."Sienna nodded slowly, f

    Sienna had barely taken two steps into the hallway when Edward's voice came from behind her."Sienna."She stopped."Come back inside."Sienna hesitated before turning around. She walked back into the room and found Edward standing beside the table, his expression calm. Charlotte remained seated beside him, while Eleanor and Jacob were still on the opposite side of the room, watching her carefully.Sienna looked from one face to another. "What is happening?"Edward pulled out the chair in front of him. "Sit down."She slowly sat.Edward looked at Sienna for several seconds before speaking. "You asked what the consequences would be."Sienna swallowed. "Yes.""I've made my decision."Her fingers tightened around the strap of her handbag. "What decision?""You're leaving the country."Sienna stared at him. "What?""You heard me.""Where?""Somewhere far from here." Edward's voice remained firm. "You will be sent to a remote area in a developing country where you will live without the pri

    Edward opened the folder.The sound of the cover sliding across the polished table seemed unusually loud in the quiet room. Sienna sat opposite him with her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her handbag resting against the side of the chair. She tried to keep her expression composed, but her fingers kept moving against each other. Charlotte sat beside Edward, while Eleanor and Jacob occupied the other side of the room, watching their daughter carefully.Edward removed the first document and placed it on the table."You asked why everyone is here," he said. "This is why."Sienna glanced down. Her eyes moved across the page before stopping at a particular section."What is this?""You know what it is.""I don't."Edward pushed the document toward her."Read it."Sienna picked it up. She read the page slowly, then lowered it."This doesn't prove anything."Eleanor leaned forward slightly. "You haven't finished reading it."Sienna looked at her mother before returning her attention to Edw
