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?

Friendly hug
"Ah!" She whimpered as she opened her eyes. At first, she was confused but then eventually realized what was happening.
She woke up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat. She just had a bad dream. It had been a while since she last had a disturbing vision. It seemed so realistic that she almost believed it.
She quickly searched the dim room for confirmation that she was only dreaming. When her eyes landed on the figure next to her, sleeping peacefully, she knew that none of what she saw was true.
"Alex." She tried to call his name, but he was in a deep slumber that he did not even stir.
She stared at him with his eyes closed tight. She wondered if he was dreaming at the very moment. She did witness him toss and turn on his sleep, mumbling some incoherent words before.
Unlike her, he did not shout or wake up at all. He just continued to do so until he calmed down eventually after a few minutes and went back to deep slumber.
