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?

The sound of silence
The week had passed since she started working with Gerald, and it had not been easy with her schedule. There were nights that she had to work overtime, not wanting to neglect her other obligations.
In a few more hours, she would be free to take some time off. A weekend rest was what she needed. She looked forward to a couple of days away from her job, which meant more time with Alex.
"Jacky, why don't you go ahead?" She said to her friend, who was still waiting for her to finish.
She wanted to finish a few more loose ends on her pending case before the weekend so that she would not have to think about it. By Monday, she could deal with them with lesser possible problems.
"What about you? Are you coming home tonight?" Jacky asked her friend, who she rarely saw at their apartment.
She stepped inside her office and dropped some files she had finished typing, placing them on her table. So, she could check them first thing on Monday.
