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.

Fall from Grace

True to expectations, the Chairman launched an investigation immediately. 

With Lucian's move to secure this private warehouse, they managed to locate the most recent missing inventory, which is solid proof of inventory shrinkage due to theft.

The warehousing personnel explained that they were told to separate the inventory because these wouldn't match the BOQ (Bill of Quantities) and were considered the reserve. No one doubted the practice as that was common for tiles and bricks. They also didn't think much of it because it's been that way for years, and the trucks came during work hours.

Who would assume they were stealing in broad daylight?

"When did you get your hands on those videos?" Lucian asked an expected question.

"I requested them last night but had no idea when they could do that for me. It wasn't exactly easy combing through that much footage before office hours even began. I got it while the meeting was underway."
