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?

She had to talk to her privately. She had to hear from Cassie what she knew about her father's past and his involvement with the underground society.
"Come on now, Daniella. Let us put the past behind us." This time, he stood up from his seat and walked a bit closer to her. "Why don't you sit down?" He pointed to the chair in front of his desk.
He did not allow her to refuse as he stood above her, forcing her to take one of the chairs he offered. Then, he leaned on the edge of his table, facing her.
