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?

Out of the blue
Jacob woke up with a grumbling stomach as his nose involuntarily started sniffing the air. There was a delicious aroma piercing his consciousness, making his body aware of his surrounding.
His mind pondered if he could be dreaming, but then again, why would he be asking that if he was. It just did not make sense as his nose continued to enjoy the enticing smell of delicious food.
"If only I could cook like that." Jacob thought to himself, feeling the lack of food on his stomach. He suddenly remembered the burger he barely ate for dinner last night before the staff paged him again.
He tried to pry his eyes open, but it was a struggle. It was not a hangover since he barely drank last night with his new friend, but he was tired, extremely tired.
His alarm had not gone off yet, so it must still be early, but he could already see the bright light coming from his window. He was not due to the hospital this morning, so he planned to stay late on the bed.
