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?

No ordinary prince
After their temporary escape, the couple went back to the party. This time, they managed to find Jacky and Marcus among the crowd. The two men excused themselves to talk to some people, which gave Dani and Jacky some time to be alone.
"How are you two doing?" Jacky moved closer to her and asked in a low voice.
"So far, so good. I think nobody suspects anything yet. I hope nobody will." She added the last part quickly, not wanting anyone to catch them with their lies.
"What about Alex?" Jacky asked in a whisper, not wanting somebody else to hear their private conversation. Luckily, the two men were very far away from them, talking to the other guests.
"What about Alex?" Upon hearing his name, Dani quickly looked at the man in question, wondering if he could overhear them because he, too, suddenly looked at them. Their eyes locked for a brief second before she looked away.
