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?

Cassie could only wonder if he just missed her as a friend or was that look meant something more as she continued to gaze into his eyes.
Her heart twisted in anticipation, wishing for him to think of her more than a friend. But her mind kept warning not to expect too much from his kindness, frightened that she was setting herself up to fail.
After the short kiss they had shared, they had never discussed anything about it. Suddenly, that incident felt like it was just a mistake or a figment of imagination conjured by a lonely soul.
"I like you, Cassie." He spoke softly and held her hand firmly in his, lifting them until it was in front of his lips. After a few seconds of staring into her eyes, the surface of his tender lips landed on her skin.
Then, his action followed a path that created havoc in her heart. His words, lips, and touch implied what she wanted to hear. Was this it? Was this what she waited for since she admitted wanting him?
