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.

Introspection

ALEXA

Boredom, anger, and frustration. Alexa kept on insisting that she'd die soon from any or the combination of those factors.

Supposedly staying at St. Cecilia's Retreat Facility, Alexa couldn't be seen or heard by anyone as she hid in one of their clan's hotels. Stuck like a mouse in hiding, all Alexa could do was waste her time staring at the ceiling.

She could have and should have been in the middle of planning her next moves, but Jasper fucked up all of her plans. It wasn't like she expected him to succeed, but she didn't expect him to fuck up so badly and implicate her in the process.

Alexa knew about the Orwell's internal investigation. In fact, the moment she got wind of it, she immediately left for the Retreat Facility, citing the need for self-introspection. 

Who else didn't know that Jasper's biggest expense was Alexa and everything she liked? So when they trace the money trail, it'll end up with her.
