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?

A death threat
Ria was at her office precisely on the dot, not late, but just on time, not for lack of trying to be early. However, she had to be honest. It had been such a struggle to get out of bed after having a long night.
Truthfully, she did not have a hangover since she hardly drank much. But she did stay up later than she wanted. She could not sleep. Unfortunately, it was not Edison that bothered her last night but some guy she did not even know.
"Good morning!" She greeted most of her colleagues as she made her way to her table. But she blankly gazed at her still empty desk as she sat on her chair, hardly moving much.
She was between dozing off and daydreaming as her eyelids drooped down and her shoulders slumped on the backrest. "Wake up!" She said to herself internally. "You have to stop this."
But she could not take his eyes out of her mind. She could remember how he looked at her last night. It was like he was out there to get her. But that was crazy.
