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?

After hearing Edward refer to the accident, something inside of him clicked. Alex abruptly charged into Edward's direction in a swift move, blocking his path, making him suddenly stop.
On the other hand, Dani did not expect what Alex did. She was surprised by the action. She did not know what was going through Alex's mind as if he was declaring war.
Then, after a glaring battle where no one seemed to want to lose. It was Edward who first broke the silence. "What seems to be the problem, my dear cousin?" He asked with a crooked grin but still keeping his eyes focused on him.
Alex maintained an impassive face as he continued to keep his eyes also fixed on the other man. He wanted to stay calm, but he could feel his blood boiling.
He just had enough of his cousin's tricks. He wanted to believe that he had nothing to do with this accident but past experience indicated otherwise.
