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?

Empty promises
"Are you not going to tell me what is going on?" Dani asked, slightly afraid, seeing the worry lines on his forehead.
After Alex had hung up the phone and turned to her, asking her to change, she wondered what the problem was. He had turned silent since then. But she let him, thinking that he might need a few minutes before telling her.
Suddenly, he stood in front of her, staring into her eyes in the middle of their room. His face was a picture of a man carrying a heavy burden. She could only wonder what news he had received from that brief phone call.
"I need to tell you something," Alex spoke so softly that it was barely audible in her ears. Or maybe it was the warning bells in her head that prevented her from hearing him distinctly.
But she still understood him, making the hair of her arms stand up in anxiousness and her heartbeat speed up in fear. His expression and his voice said it all. Something was not right.
