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 lonely existence
"How much more time do you need? What else do I have to do to be enough for you?" She felt torn from her fear of losing him and the possibility that she would end up alone in the end.
The more he worked on his dream, the less time he spent with her. It did not help that her father kept nagging at her that she was not getting any younger.
Her father also insisted that she should be thinking of building a family soon. He did not believe that her modeling career would be enough to give her a bright future.
He reminded her that when her body started to sag and her beauty faded, she would be thrown away just like yesterday's news.
She still remembered what her father said to her. "You are not getting any younger. How sure are you that he will stay committed to you?" John's words, at that time, influenced most of her decisions.
