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?

Bad omen
"My princess, do you like my gift?" A voice asked behind her.
A new car.
It was her very first car.
"Yes, it is beautiful," Dani answered with a brimming smile on her young face.
She rushed outside the door and touched the metallic paint cover of the hood, admiring the latest model of the car she had been dreaming of since she received her license to drive.
"What do you think?" He asked her, moving behind her as she examined every detail of the car.
"I love it." She uttered, hugging him tightly, feeling so lucky to have him in her life.
"What about my other surprise?" He asked.
Another surprise?
She looked at his old, tired face, puzzled by his words. Why did he suddenly look like he was fading in her eyes? The more she stared at his face, her vision seemed to blur, no matter how much she squinted her eyes.
"I wish I could have been a good father." His words turned solemn as if it was full of regrets.
