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?

Stranded for the night
When Dani went out, Alex had already started the fire. She welcomed the heat that was coming from the small fireplace. Dani began to feel the chill in her bones, so the warmth should help her ease the ache in her body.
She was not expecting that it was going to be that cold after getting wet by the rain. But she believed that after a little while, she would be back to normal.
"Alex, what are you doing?" She asked while she sat near the fire, looking at him, working on something on the stove.
She marveled at the way he moved in the kitchen. As if he was totally at ease whenever he was preparing food. She had observed this during their first dinner at his place.
Now, seeing him again working on the counter made her realize that any woman would be lucky to have him as a husband. She would consider him. Honestly, she thought as she stared at him. If she was looking, but she was not ready for such a commitment.
