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?

A cold heart
She had been in her office most of the morning working on her cases, but now it was time to leave. She checked her watch and realized that Alex would be picking her up soon.
"Jacky, can you come inside for a moment," Dani called her friend and assistant.
Jacky immediately entered the room, looking at her with curiosity as she paced around the room. She placed a few of the files she had already finished signing on the table near her friend.
Then, she took those files that still needed her attention, planning to bring them with her. She arranged to stay at the hospital with her mom and work on her other case in her spare time.
Her heart refused to accept that her father was still not out of danger, as the doctors explained. But her logical mind wanted her to prepare for the worse.
He might seem fine now, but his heart was unstable, and anything could still happen to him. The doctors feared that another unexpected attack could be fatal this time.
