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?

An ugly scene
Alex was late to the meeting that morning, but luckily, Marcus handled it without a hitch, even without him. He still had two remaining appointments before he could drop by the hospital.
This time, he could not pass them off to Marcus. It was a crucial meeting he had to do himself, especially in their current situation.
"Do you have a minute?" His friend suddenly appeared on his doorstep, then continued inside without waiting for an invitation.
His friend did not need one since he would not bother him if he did not have a valid reason. Not when he knew he had an important client already on his way to his office.
"Just a minute, Marcus," Alex responded, looking at his watch, which he did not have to but an old habit that was hard to forget. "What is it?"
He watched his friend pick a chair, sitting on it before his eyes focused on him. He dropped the folder in his hand and finally concentrated on him.
