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?

Somehow, she thought she would get used to it, but nothing had changed. She was still as anxious as ever as she waited.
"Are you sure you want to be here?" Her husband asked as he stood behind where she sat. He placed his warm hands on her cold shoulders while giving her comfort.
He probably sensed her agitation as she sat restlessly on the couch. Since she received the phone call, she could not keep still. She had waited and waited until this moment.

"I want to be here, Alex. Besides, he called me. He said he needed my help." Dani put her hand over his, squeezing him gently to assure him she was ok despite how she felt.
