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.

Escapist

This level of productivity was something else. I even managed to learn something I had found impossible for the past many years.

Nothing burned, and no one died.

100% Success!

If I'm being honest, my mood hasn't been great. However, being hyper-focused on learning this and seeing my loved ones somehow helped pull me out of this stupor.

One would think I was learning how to dismantle bombs instead of learning how to fry an egg.

When my parents witnessed the crime scene, I heard them retreat, backtracking stealthily.

So much for having faith in me!

But they didn't make it out. Ultimately, they were the next unwilling tasters for today's lesson.

To their surprise, I succeeded, and I think they were even prouder of this achievement than of my past gold medals or championships.

"My baby, how have you been?" Dad asked, scowling without even hearing my answer.
