A one-night stand was all Daniella wanted: no names, no strings. But fate had other plans. As a reluctant heiress caught in a power struggle, and Alexander, a CEO forced toward a throne, their paths cross again. This time bound by a contract. Will their deal protect their dreams or trap them in love neither expected?
“I hope not. Go have some fun. Maybe spend the night over at his place.” Jacky suggested as she moved out of her room. Jacky felt like it was time that her friend tried again for a real relationship. She believed that there was something with the way Alex and her friend were interacting. She…
“Vincent, I have a new assignment for you.” He started instructing him of what he wanted to be done. “But I want this done quietly.” “No problem. What is this about?” He asked curiously as to what the secrecy was all about. “You will soon find out.” He told him as he held his chin…
