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.

Crack.

Grandpa looked back at me, finally noticing my intense stare.

Only he is capable of making that kind of decision. So now, I can't deny it anymore. I've been sold off again by the same person.

Crack. Crack.

I am dead sure that I'm imagining it, but my chest felt so tight I've begun to hear cracking sounds.

Surprise, annoyance, indignation, and lastly guilt. His face flashed those emotions every time Aunt Ingrid and Alexa opened their mouths.

They're blabbering—I know they are—but I'm unable to make out the words because, frankly, my pulse may be a bit off—maybe severely off.

Anger, utter disdain, and disappointment are clouding my ability to judge. And I'm standing by sheer willpower.

"Alexa!" My Dad roared at her. Something that he's never done, especially not in public. Not even Jasper's dick going God-knows-where got him roaring like that.
