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?

Overstayed the welcome
"Cassie, are you still awake?" He walked to the door excitedly, carrying a paper bag in his hand.
He was supposed to have a late shift, but the operation did not push through. Miraculously, the child recovered from her comatose and appeared to be doing well even without the need for operation.
He had been looking forward to going home earlier than before since she had stayed with him at his apartment. His lonely life had been more colorful with her around.
"In here." She shouted at him, directing him to follow her voice into the small kitchen.
She was not expecting him to come home early. These past few days, he had been practically living in the hospital. He would only come home to take a bath and change, and then, he was off again.
"Where?" He looked around the source of her voice, but he found the room empty. There was no sign of her anywhere. He wondered if he only imagined her voice as his eyes roamed around the room.
