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?

The destiny
"Hey, boss." Jacky interrupted her busy morning by popping her head on her office door. "You are being summoned upstairs." She said, with the absence of the usual spirit in her voice.
It was no surprise that she lacked the energy and enthusiasm this early morning. They did arrive late last night from their weekend getaway. Then, she woke up early for work.
She was about to head back out to her desk when Dani stopped her by calling her back. "Jacky, what is wrong?"
She sensed something was off with her friend. She might have an idea. But still, it was better to ask rather than make assumptions.
"Nothing. I am just still groggy from the trip and a bit sleepy." Jacky made her excuses. But she could see from her friend's eyes that she was not buying it.
She stood in the middle of the room, contemplating whether she should tell her friend or just deny anything was wrong with her. But was it even a problem that she should even discuss?
