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?

Today
Laura did not wish to leave her husband's side even for a second, but she also understood that her body needed some rest. Besides, Dani would not allow her to stay a minute longer until she had her rest.
She was glad that she also followed her daughter's advice, feeling so much rejuvenated from the relaxing and peaceful sleep she had. Seeing Ethan smiling somehow gave her a bit of hope. It was the only thing she could hold on to that made her leave his side for a while.
Presently, she had just finished taking a shower. Her wet hair hung loosely on her shoulders as she stared at herself in the full-length mirror in their room.
She looked like she had aged by a decade since Ethan had been in the hospital. Her eyes were still slightly puffy from crying and the sleepless nights. Her cheeks had a hollow in the center since she hardly ate anything.
"Oh my!" She gushed as her fingers ran through her frizzled hair.
