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?

He had initially thought she had left with David or walked out after what had happened. But he was mistaken as he felt her presence.
She probably wanted to slap him or curse him for his unforgivable actions. He could not blame her. He believed he deserved it. His physical pain was no match for what he had caused her.
He also thought apologizing would never be enough, especially after the humiliation she experienced because of him.
"Are you alright?" He heard her ask as he felt her fingers on his shoulder.
