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.

Battle Royale [1]

This event was like a Battle Royale, a survival of the fittest type of thing.

I already felt anxious about the bidders, but just before entering the venue, Oliver informed us that both Lara and Nicholas would be attending and were already inside.

Over the years, I've had my fair share of nervous jitters, so I've learned how not to show them externally. After all, looking extremely nervous would just inspire my competitors. So, I'm doing the same thing now.

But I guess what worked better was how Lucian looked so chill about the event, as if this wasn't something that he had to prepare for.

Granted, he really wouldn't have had to do anything had it not been for that bombshell that I dropped on the company a while back.

"They're going to want to pry, then they'll try to offend, especially since they've finally found an opening. But just ignore them." Lucian warned me a while back.
