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?

"Marcus sent their apologies for not attending tonight," Alex stated.
Alex ran his hand through hers, sitting alongside her at the backseat of the car.
They finally had said their goodbyes to her parents and guests and were on their way back to their apartment. He could sense that her wife was exhausted but not physically, more likely emotionally.
He pulled her into his arms, letting her back to rest on his chest. Then, he started rubbing the palm of his hands on her arms, then making his way to her shoulders.
"Yeah, Jacky also texted me about what happened to her." She leaned closer to his body, enjoying the feel of his warmth enveloping her. "She assured me that it was nothing serious."
It would have been better if her friend had been there to support her. Besides Alex, her parents, and a handful of others, Jacky was the only person she could count on to understand what she had been going through.
