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 sentimental fool
Several minutes later, he was knocking on his door. He knew he was home because he had asked one of his men to check on his schedule. His man informed him that his brother was not on duty today.
Knowing his brother, he probably was still sleeping or just sulking in his apartment. His men had reported before that he rarely went out, not even with the other hospital staff.
"Jacob, open the door." He demanded when no one responded on his first knock.
He had Jacob surveillance when he decided to move to this city. He was doubtful of his intention and would like to check if he had other ulterior motives.
So far, he concluded that he was just interested in the work offered to him. He had called off his investigation afterward. His brother was a harmless being who could not even hurt a fly.
"Jacob, are you in there?" He shouted when his brother had failed to react to his second knock.
