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?

Respond in kind
"Fine. Let's go." Marcus stood from his lazy position and walked with her towards the group. Edward walked not far behind them.
She could see that Alex had an unreadable expression on his face when she stood beside him. He did not look unhappy nor mad to see Edward. Alex still greeted his cousin with a smile on his face. But it was never the same when he was talking to Lance or Marcus, Dani noted.
"Hope you don't mind if I join the game," Edward announced to the group, positioning himself just beside Dani.
"The more, the merrier," Jacky shouted, responding to Edward. Unaware of the tension between Alex and Edward.
But Dani had sensed it. She had figured it out during the party that something was going on between Edward and Alex. But they never allowed the others to notice their conflict with each other. The fight was so subtle that not everyone could see it.
