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.

Eggs

When I returned home, it was well past midnight, and even Chester, who normally stood by the door waiting, was asleep.

And for the most part, I didn't dilly-dally. I went through my nightly routine like a silent hurricane and passed out.

It was perfect because, just as expected, Lucian was still in his study, probably working on something.

Like yesterday, I woke up earlier, right before my alarm rang. So I caught that to avoid it from ringing.

I found myself in a fetal position, cradling myself on the edge of the bed.

Wow. It's been so long since I slept like this. The same way I slept in my old room. As expected, habits die hard.

My new morning routine took shape. A very early bird should be able to catch at least a worm. Since nothing was guaranteed for me, I decided to match everything with hard work.
