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?

Big plans
Gerald had attended countless fundraising events but had always managed to be discreet. He usually did not allow the spotlight on him, anonymously donating so people would not talk about him.
He had lived an extreme balance of fame as a celebrated defender of the weak and anonymity throughout his career, hiding his secret life from the world. A life not acceptable to society but a life of wealth and power.
"I am Haley's date for the night." He answered Dani truthfully. He had nothing to hide because he had done nothing wrong.
He could not see anything inappropriate with him dating a single woman. He was a single man, after all. "Why is there a problem with that?" But he could see that this did not sit well with his sister, judging from her stare.
She had that look that said she disapproved of him going out with her friend, like a mother, not liking the boy her daughter was dating. Well, he had news for her. It was not his problem.
