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?

Try to escape
Marcus opted to go home earlier than the rest of them after his encounter with Jacky. He believed that it would not be wise to see more of Jacky under their circumstances.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay until tomorrow?" Alex asked when Marcus called him. They were bound to fly home the next day, so he wondered what the rush was.
"I'm sure," Marcus answered over the line. He was still contemplating if he should tell his friend the reason why he had to leave. For now, he only wanted to be alone.
"Is something wrong with the business?" He did not receive any calls that there was a problem that he had to handle personally back home, so he was still figuring out why his decision.
"No. It had nothing to do with work." Marcus knew that once he said that, Alex would figure out what he could not say.
"Is this about Jacky?" He could only assume that it had everything to do with Dani's friend.
