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?

Impending death
Darkness!
That covered most of the old playground. During the day, excited kids probably filled this place with their bright smiles and waves of laughter. But on a night like this, it was him, his friend, and some men hiding in the shadows.
Did his friend betray him, or was he unaware of the threat he sensed around them? He had not seen a sign of anyone else, but he could feel it in his gut that they were out there.
"Gerald?" His friend called again, and he finally decided to approach him with extra caution. "I knew that was you. But you still frightened me." His friend clutched into his chest as if he was nervous, but he still displayed a smile on his face as he calmed down.
That was another sign of something amiss as far as he could tell. His friend was not easily spooked unless something was wrong in this picture. Alarming bells were already ringing in his ears, but he still could not point out where the enemies were.
