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?

On the road to recovery
A deep wail filled the air, making him stop moving around the kitchen to rush into the other room. He knew the sound was familiar, having heard it several times before.
Once he was by the room, Marcus found his wife in the arms of her best friend, sobbing her heart out. He stopped in his tracks as he observed the interaction between his beloved wife and her dear friend, cautious not to interfere.
"I am sorry." He heard Jacky utter, in between her broken cries, as he stood on the corner, away from their sight.
He could see once again the struggle that his wife was going through. He could feel her pain even in the distance, but still, he was clueless about how to help her.
He tried everything possible, their friend's suggestions and the expert. But it seemed they kept going back to where they started. She was still in misery. Could things ever get better between them? He still hoped so.
