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?

"Ok. Then, have a good night, Ria. I will see you tomorrow." He seemed disappointed, but he did not insist like the other times. He forced a smile on his lips and then turned around.
Then, Zach was gone, going down the hallway as he disappeared from her sight. She concluded that something might have happened to him. Maybe it was the girl from earlier.
Suddenly, she remembered that she thought she had seen him at the office of Mr. Stark. But she was still not sure about that. Besides, why would he abruptly leave without saying a word, and why did he not mention it just now?
"Sure, I will see you tomorrow." She responded, but she was unsure if he had heard her.
Somehow, she felt guilty for declining his offer. He was there when she needed him. Now that he seemed to need company, she could not oblige his simple request.
