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?

It might be his instinct as a father to shield her from anything that he thought might harm her.
However, she was not young and naive anymore. She was capable of handling the hard truths, no matter how grim it might sound. She had to know the reason behind the secrets hidden from her.
"It would seem that Cassie stumbled on a secret that I had kept from everyone. I always suspected that she was the one who told you about it." Ethan closed his eyes for a few seconds as he recalled the scenes in his mind.
