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?

She woke up, realizing that she was sleeping in his bed. She did not remember coming over to his apartment. But she instantly recognized his room upon opening her eyes.
She looked around, trying to see her surrounding, finding nothing was amiss from what she remembered. The room looked just like she had left it before leaving that day.

When her hands touched his pillow, it was warm to her touch, as if somebody had just woken up and left that side of the bed.
But that left her puzzled as her eyes roamed again around the room. But nobody was there. She could not sense any movement or noise coming from the bathroom.
He was dead, as she repeatedly told herself.
"That is not possible." She mumbled as her mind searched her memories. It was impossible unless someone else slept beside her last night. But why could she not remember anything?
