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?

An open book
Lance woke up hopeful that despite his condition, things would get better. But to hear his friend tell him that the only person he wanted to see was gone. That just put a nail in his coffin.
He felt his world go crumbling down on his feet.
"What do you mean gone?" He had to ask again, unable to accept his words.
He wanted to think that he might have misunderstood his friend's meaning. Well, it was what his heart wished to believe.
"You know what I mean. Eida left and had no plan of returning." Evan repeated, probably hoping that he would finally accept the inevitable.
Of course, his brain grasped fully what his friend said. His mind could fully function again. But his heart refused to acknowledge that the woman he loved had left him.
But why? That was unclear. He needed an explanation coming from her.
"Did she say why she was leaving?" Lance asked his friend, hoping he had some answers.
