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.

Duty

The Chairman turned blue when the footage focused on Jasper and Alexa.

He finally lost his composure and repeatedly shouted for me to shut off the projection. When that didn't work, he asked security to pull out the plug directly from the socket.

Now, that would've worked elsewhere, for who would dare ignore the orders of the Chairman of the Thornhill group? But we're at the Golden Crest, so the staff and security stayed rooted at their posts as if the Chairman wasn't screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Have you gone insane? Why would you play this video?!" Upon realizing that no one but his detail moved, he redirected his anger towards me.

"Last I checked, what's insane is doing your cousin's fiance at her house while said cousin celebrates her birthday in the next room." I raised both eyebrows at the irony of his question.

"As for why, of course, it's because someone accused me of lying about their infidelity," I said as a matter of fact.
