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?

Gerald quickly stood from his seat to offer her one. "Will you join me for lunch?" Pulling a chair for her beside him.
He quickly set aside his musing as he attended to her. He would not mind eating another meal if she joined him. He could not let an opportunity like this pass by.
However, his mind still would not stop thinking if she had seen him dining with his friend, Mike. But if she had just arrived a few minutes ago, she might not have seen him.
"Actually, I am here to invite you to join us." She pointed at the table not far away from where she stood. "I am having lunch with my husband and a friend when I notice that you are alone."
