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?

Searching for a needle in a haystack
"I am Ms. Harlowe. I am here to see the duke. He is expecting me." She announced to the men, who looked at each other as if confirming with the other her declaration.
"Did his secretary not inform you that I am coming?" She continued as if she was also surprised by the situation.
Luckily, the desk that his secretary occupied was empty at the moment. Or else her cover would be blown. She wondered if it was just damn luck or fate working in her favor. Whatever it was, she had to work fast before it ran out.
"We were not informed that you will be joining the meeting." One of the men spoke up.
He looked at his partner for assistance, but he seemed to have no clue of her existence until now. He only shrugged his shoulder as a response to his silent question.
