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.

Battle Royale [2]

Awkward.

I resisted grimacing at their reactions. Not that these two deserved my sympathy, but that's one more bleeding heart right there.

Just as I hoped they'd stop to save themselves from further embarrassment, Jessica tried her hand, this time laughing a bit to soften the blow, "Is this how married people are? Easily forgetful?" She acted coy, even smiling teasingly.

But Lucian didn't budge. If anything, he only looked at Idris, who understood the job.

"She was the usher and guest performer for our graduation."

Lucian stayed silent, so Idris tried mentioning more things. It was like a game of awkward jeopardy, and Jessica's face kept on souring as Idris kept mentioning more things.

"The one that fainted by your seat. You called in the medics."

"I see, hello then, Ms. Sanders." Lucian finally offered a curt greeting.
