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?

A death sentence
She would hand the company to him in a heartbeat just to save Alex. He could even burn it to the ground for all she cared, as long as it would give them their freedom back, hers and Alex.
"Then, give me the paperwork, and I will hand it to you in a silver platter." She challenged him, knowing that she now had the power to deal on behalf of his father.
Her father had already handed his share to Alex even before they married. On the other hand, Alex returned his entire shares to her, even those he bought as an investment before he took over as the CEO, as a wedding present.
The transfer was included in the prenup they both signed before the wedding. What good was the company to them if they were both dead anyway? For now, she needed leverage to keep them alive.
"Well, it is not that simple anymore." He rubbed the palms of his hands along her arms, wanting her to understand that the game had changed.
