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.

"And who the! Oh! It's you, Mr. Bernard."

Jessica looked ready to screech at the new arrival but stopped when she took a good look in. She even rearranged her face to look less menacing. 

She at least had the mind to realize what being the consultant for such a big project meant. And they seemed to actually know each other already.

"Do you know her too?" She asked Mr. Bernard, looking hopeful for a new ally.

"I do. I've heard of her and was looking forward to getting an engagement, but alas, she was already married by then." Nicholas had a regretful smile that felt venomous to me.

What would he even gain by announcing that?

"You're saying you wanted to be engaged to this- to someone like her?" She caught herself before cursing but sounded no less malicious. 

"Who wouldn't? To get a wife who could stand her ground and choose long-term goals over short-term conveniences? Not everyone would understand that important sacrifice."
