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?

Respect, passion, and love
"Is that what our relationship is all about to you? Are we just together because we are compatible?" He put her palms on both sides of his cheeks, wanting to feel their warmth on his face.
He could not care less anymore if that would scare her and make her run for the hills. He would come running after her if that was the only way to make her understand that what they had was more than that.
After a few seconds of analyzing her statement, he realized that it was not what he wanted to hear from her. Honestly, he found himself wishing that she was in love with him.
"But..." She intended to say something but had no idea what. She could not find the words to express what she desired, at the same time, what she feared most. Afraid that he might not understand or misinterpret what she might say.
"What about marrying for love?" He voiced out when he saw her indecision.
