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?

Master manipulator
Earlier, back at the palace, a call on Ethan's phone broke the silence that enveloped their privacy. Her father had to excuse himself to take the call, leaving her alone to herself.
On the other hand, Ethan walked along the hallway of the palace, looking for some empty space to take the call. He did not want anyone eavesdropping on his conversation.
"Yes," Ethan finally answered when he was secured inside another room. "What is it, Alex?" He quickly asked, hoping that it was nothing serious.
But nothing in his world was that easy. He had many enemies who would stop at nothing to destroy him, but apparently, his soon-to-be son-in-law was no different.
"I think we have a situation. This is just a precaution, but I already instructed my men to change the plan. I know this is last minute." Alex informed Ethan.
