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?

He quickly put them in a suitcase, locked them with a combination he only knew, and carried them out of his private office. Then, he rushed toward his car, hurrying to be at his next appointment.
"Mike!" He suddenly stopped, hearing her voice behind him. "Can I speak with you before you leave?" He abruptly turned to see her running in the corridor to catch him.
He should get going, seeing that he was already late, but he could not turn his back on her and leave. He had to hear what she had to say first because it might be urgent.
