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?

Haley had three on and off serious ones, but it all ended badly. She had learned the hard way that they all only wanted one thing from her, money and power. They only used her love to get what they wanted. But that was then when she was still naive and foolish.
"Wait," Gerald suddenly pulled back, holding her face in the palms of his hands. Then, he stared at her as if demanding her attention. He kissed her one more time before letting her lips go. "I got to get this."
She did not even notice that his phone rang. Or maybe it was in silent mode. But she sat and waited for him to get back as he moved to the window to talk in private. It did not take long.
