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 unreachable star
Serena was finally seeing him again later. Not on a date or a set but in a conference room between their legal teams. This time, they would not discuss a script, rehearse a line or fool around.
She was suing him for his abusive behavior, inflicting physical and emotional pain on her during their relationship and threatening her life. Finally, she wanted to be free from his clutches forever.
"Hey! I am sorry if I took time before I could answer the door." Serena said as she hastily opened the door upon seeing who was behind it through the peephole.
She was in the bathroom when the bell rang and had to rush out of the tub to answer it, thinking it could be her manager. Now, she was dripping on the floor with her wet hair.
She did not intentionally plan to be late, regretting listening to soft music while taking a bath, realizing too late that it was not a good idea as she dozed off in the tub. Now, her lawyer was here while she was not yet ready.
