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?

Welcome home
It was late when Cassie finally finished her story. She wished there was something more she could do to rectify her wrongdoings against Dani and her father, but at the moment, she could think of none.
Alex had arranged for her safe house where she would temporarily hide until he could prepare for her travel to a more secure location and eventually her freedom.
"Jacob, is it?" Alex asked when he had the chance to talk to the man accompanying Cassie to her new place. When he nodded, he continued. "I hope we can trust that her secret will be safe."
He had no idea of who the man was. All he knew was that Cassie trusted him to bring him along. They had no option now but to do the same.
"Of course. I also want the same thing. I am here to protect my friend." Jacob assured him as they stood outside the room while waiting for Cassie to come out.
