The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 177

Just past nine o’clock, the plane finally touched down at Ashford Airport.

Jet–lagged from the long haul flight back from the States, with a layover in Lakewood, Zach felt like he had run a marathon. The hours up in the sky had taken their toll, and he was drained. But the thought of his sister waiting for him injected him with a second wind. As soon as he disembarked, he was off like a shot, his suitcase wheels barely touching the ground, leaving Leo and Collins trailing behind..
