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?

"Would you excuse me?" She told her distant aunt from her mother's side. "I think my mom needs me."
But that was just a reason to get away from the repeated stories of her childhood. She did not want to be rude, but she had heard about those stories for years. Though she loved them, she would like to look for her husband even more.
She quickly made her way to her mother, who was busy talking to his uncle. But as she was walking, she realized that she had not seen his father, too, since the dinner had ended.
