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.

Rescue

That event left me drained. My already tiny social battery kept on taking hit after hit.

Jessica had to stop pestering because Mrs. Grant gave her an earful about looking desperate. She didn't like me, but she hated Jessica more.

We did get to socialize with Mr. Graham and his family, who seemed otherwise okay, if not for overly emphasizing the family-centered image that they want Windham to have.

In short, they wanted their contractors to be free of blemishes and to look like the harmonious family that they kept portraying. 

So, it was no wonder that they kept on looking at me. After all, I'm the source of these recent blemishes.

It's not that they disrespected me, but they remained curt while actively interacting with Lucian—A clear disparity.

He's got the Sinclair blood flowing through him, after all.

Don't take his position as a project bidder to mean that he should be subservient to the owners of JG.
