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?

Heavier burden
When Alex heard that Ethan had woken up, he immediately left the office to check on him. He offered to pick up Dani in the office before proceeding to the hospital, but she preferred if they just met there.
But when he arrived at the hospital, Dani was still on her way. She was caught in unexpected traffic but would be shortly joining them. He did not mind since he wished to discuss something with Ethan.
"Good morning, Ethan." He immediately greeted his father-in-law when he entered the room, seeing Ethan silently sitting on his bed. "It is nice to see that you are finally awake."
However, Alex did not anticipate seeing Gerald laughing with Laura on the other side of the room. His mother-in-law seemed to be growing at ease with her stepson.
Not that he had anything against that, but he could not trust a man like Gerald. He believed this man had something planned against them. He was not ready to let his guard down around him.
