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?

Damsel in distress
"You look like you are bored." Lance walked behind her, slightly startling her in the process.
He went away supposedly for a few minutes to handle a minor situation, leaving Jacky to fend on her own. But a client stopped him on his way back, discussing an important matter.
It took him an additional thirty minutes before he was able to return to where he left Jacky. He was expecting that she would be gone or mingling with the other guests. But she sat on the side alone, watching the other people went on with their business.
"Yeah, I guess I am." Jacky felt lying would not fool him, so she went for the truth. She returned her hands under her chin and her elbows on top of the table, sulking in her gloominess.
Her excitement when she arrived at this party earlier turned into boredom. What was she supposed to do, pretend that she belonged with these people? Who was she kidding? Certainly not herself.
