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 this time
She had lived most of her adult life living a lie. She would memorize her lines, embody a character, and wear her costume, pretending she was someone else.
She had done it a thousand times that she might have forgotten where she had crossed the lines between her reality and fantasy. Somehow, she had lost her way.
She had become what others wanted her to be. She acted in a way that people would love her. In the end, she lost track of who she was.
"More coffee?" Adam offered as they ate their breakfast together. "Would you like something else?" He asked when she declined.
But she could already feel her stomach full. She had never eaten so much food in a long time. Her life had always been about control, limitations, and rules.
She had to watch the food she ate because she could not gain too much weight. She should always look her best. She should act accordingly because her fans were watching her every move. And so forth.
