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?

Undoubtedly not laughing
It was getting late, but her eyes would not shut tight. She looked around her, yet she still could not figure out why she felt uneasy. Her gut told her something was not right. Still, she had no clue what was wrong.
Dinner was uneventful since she ate by herself again. Mike did not show up, but that was not uncommon. He called earlier, informing her that he had to stay longer in a meeting and would arrive late at night.
"Maybe I am just going crazy." She muttered, sighing her frustration. It was not a piece of cake to stay in one place when she hardly saw another soul. It was lonely and boring.
It was fine in the morning when Imelda was around, but the rest of the day was torture. She hoped Mike's promise would materialize soon before she lost her sanity.
She wanted to call her friends, even her brother. But she knew she risked her life, brother, friend, and most especially her child by doing so. Therefore, she opted for her silence.
