The Royal Contract
A one-night stand was all she wanted, but that was never his style. Still, they ended up together in a night of passion. No names, no feelings, and no complications. Heiress and advocate lawyer Daniella Hamilton had never wanted her inheritance, only wishing to live a simple life. Still, she ended up in the center of an intense war for power. Now, she had to find the balance between the life she dreamt of and the life that she was meant to have. Enigmatic and brilliant CEO Prince Alexander Princeton renounced his title to his birthright, believing that true power should come from building his own legacy. However, the kingdom faced a new dilemma where he was asked to serve his people and sit on the throne. Separated after their one night of wild adventure. They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time. Would their agreement fulfill their dreams, or would it end in a disastrous union?

A big heart
She had always compared herself to a red rose. She saw herself as beautiful. Her career had been vibrant. And almost everything about her life seemed perfect.
But despite that, just like the lovely flower, her life also had many thorns. No matter how exquisite the rose was, it still had hidden imperfections.
The people around her, her fans and her enemies, only saw the smile on her face and the facade she showed to the world.
But they never saw the pain every time a thorn tore into her skin and made her bleed. They had never bothered to look deeper underneath the delicate petals to know how fragile she was.
"I..."
"Do..."
The two spoke simultaneously when the silence became deafening, and the air inside the car became suffocating.
But they had to stop to give way to the other. Both were unsure of what to expect or what to say. Both feared to utter the wrong words.
