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?

Better off living on the street
It was starting to darken as the streetlights illuminated the streets. Buildings shone their bright lights that radiated out of the clear glass windows.
When she tilted her head to the growing darkness, she wondered if the moon and the stars still lingered above the sky tonight. The clouds or the city smog have covered most of the world above them. She could not see anything beyond, only the spreading shadows.
"I better head home. It had been nice to meet you, Claire." The boy stood before her in the busy street under a dimly lit streetlight. "And thanks for the meal and this." He pointed to the jacket she bought at a flea market at a low discounted price to keep him warm on a cold night.
She was impressed with Neil. The boy was intelligent, if that was even his real name, as he wiggled his way around the city without difficulty and haggled prices with merchants with ease.
