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 loose end
Nick was furious that Cassie was able to get away. That was twice in one day that a woman tricked him. But he did not mind Dani since he had other plans for her.
What mattered today was to find Cassie and get her back. She was crucial in his plans, and he still needed the evidence that she held against the Hamiltons.
"You are a fool." Nick looked at the mirror in front of his minibar and saw his reflection. "You allowed her to deceive you once again. You should have taken the evidence at the very start and disposed of her."
He stared long and hard at the man, who almost had it all. He should be married to Dani by now. He should be the one running Ethan's company instead of Alex. But he blew it again and again.
But now, he feared that his plans might not be enough anymore without Cassie. He shoved the entire content of his drink into his mouth, trying to drown himself in his misery.
