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?

Not acting as the hero
Evan watched her enter the room. The fact that the royal guards recognized her meant she was telling him the truth. But who was she really, again forgetting to ask her full name?
In his defense, he did not get the chance when he got distracted by her crying and her sob story.
He was left wondering as he loitered in the hallway, waiting for her to come out of the room. He could follow her inside, but he knew when his presence was not necessary. So, he kept walking until he realized that it was almost dawn.
The light outside the window had brightened up the hallways, slightly removing the eerie feeling of the place. Still, it was a hospital. Many people died in this place every day, if not every hour.
"Evan, I did not know that you were here." Suddenly, a voice called him from behind as he gazed outside the window, watching the tiny people crawling down the street like ants, getting ready for the day.
