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.

Plan

My back stayed pressed against Lucian while we walked out of the hall. It probably looked sweet to people. But we're walking like this because I'm trying to stay upright.

Just a few more steps. 

I need to stay upright until they can't see me anymore. The moment we turned into the corner where the elevators were, Lucian hurriedly lifted me off the ground to be carried.

"There's no use asking if you're okay, so I'll ask you if there's anything you want instead." He asked while punching the button to the 50th floor.

"Bathroom," I managed to squeeze out. 

The moment we left the hall, I started to feel extremely queasy, as if under an intense drunken spell, and it was taking everything in me to keep myself from hurling vomit all over Lucian.

Luckily, he's always been familiar with our personal suites, having stayed there when we were kids.
