Yours, Until Needed

Born into the Thornhill family, Eliana should have been dealing with succession planning and heiress training. But instead, she’s dealing with the crocodile tears of her cousin Alexa. As if stealing her Fiancé wasn’t enough, she’s out to pin everything onto Eliana. Trust issues - Eliana. Popularity issues - Eliana. Landslide - Must be Eliana. In an attempt to end her cousin’s jealousy-ridden machinations, Eliana is forced into a relationship with a childhood disaster, Lucian Alder Sinclair, her most tempting nightmare. Lucian Sinclair has always been synonymous with perfection, at least to most people. But to his family, finding someone who could handle his aloofness has been the top priority. Forced to return to his home country at the behest of his grandfather, Lucian fortunately encounters Eliana who’s in need of a ready-made partner. Constantly up at each other's throats, then into each other’s arms, may the lies they’ve told hold up against discerning family members and unrelenting pursuers.

Craving

Oliver had to confirm the next steps with Lucian twice. Not because Oliver was slow on the uptake but because Lucian told him that we were done for the day. 

"Rest for now. We'll deal with this tomorrow. Mr. Barton surely has a handle on this already." He said as we walked out of the building. 

Even I was surprised as I thought he'd want to stay there, but Oliver just looked mind-blown. He was probably thinking about whether some alien had replaced his boss. 

"You'll end up sending the poor guy to the hospital." I gestured towards the dazed Oliver. 

"You keep on saying unfamiliar words, and now he's broken."

Lucian had a questioning look. It's that, or he thinks I'm spouting nonsense again.

"'Done' and 'rest'? Any of your employees would have the same reaction. Those are foreign words to them, you know?" I turned quickly, facing him while chuckling as we entered the elevator shaft.
