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?

The five stages of grief
"Still, thanks, man, for bailing me out." He dropped the phone back into his pocket after taking the call from his friend, David. Then, he let his eyes wander around him, looking at the sun as it rose from the east.
He had to deal with Jacky as soon as he was out of that cell, seeing how distraught she was. He did not have time to deal with his friends or thank them for their help. So, he quickly called them as soon as he was up.
At the moment, he watched his sleeping wife inside their bedroom as he stood outside the balcony. Honestly, he wanted to smack himself hard for putting Jacky through all that.
Last night, he was lucky that Jacky stopped him before he seriously injured the other guy. Or, he might be spending the rest of his life behind bars, rotting for a senseless crime he had no intention of committing.
