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?

In the afterlife
Once the lights were turned on, the darkness that hid him from her earlier was flooded with bright light, finally revealing his position. She had easily spotted him sitting behind a beam.
She noticed that he was hardly moving. She could only see a partial portion of his face and body from where she was standing.
Maybe he was sleeping, or he might have been badly beaten, she could only guess. However, she had to find out as she moved toward him.
"Alex, are you ok?" Dani shouted, running in his direction, but one of the men stopped her, blocking her path and grabbing her by her arms.
She struggled against him, shouting, flailing her arms, and even kicking, but it had been no use. The man was big and strong compared to her. But she did not give up as she continued to defy him.
