Benedict Spinoza

Bukan perkara yang mudah menerima seorang wanita yang disodorkan kepadamu hanya karena terlalu lama sendiri! Tidak masuk akal! "Begitulah, mau dikatakan apa? Nasibmu memang sejelek itu, mengadulah pada Tuhan." Benedict mendecih, ia menggeleng mendengar kalimat terakhir Cathy, ia tidak percaya Tuhan. Juga tidak percaya dengan keputusan keluarga besarnya yang menjodohkannya dengan wanita keturunan budak, alias miskin. "Selain sifatmu yang arogan, ternyata kau juga banyak omong." Kalimat yang berhasil membuat Benedict hampir memecahkan gelas akibat genggaman tangannya yang terlalu kuat. Ini pertemuannya dengan Sharon, calon istri dari neraka, dan perempuan yang baru ia lihat pertama kali ini pun-lah yang berani mengeluarkan kata-kata lancang seperti itu. Benedict dan Sharon layaknya musuh, padahal mereka belum mengenal lebih jauh tapi benih kebencian tumbuh begitu cepatnya di masing-masing hati mereka. Akankah Benedict berhasil merasakan cinta yang diberikan Sharon kepadanya saat mereka memutuskan menikah? Dan apakah Sharon juga mengalah atas keegoisan pria yang telah menjadi suaminya itu?

18+ Niat ingin bertemu dengan calon tunangannya, Emily justru dimanfaatkan oleh kekasihnya, dan berakhir tidur dengan Benedict, CEO Maven Group yang dikenal dengan sebutan si arogan berambut perak! Di saat Emily berusaha melupakannya, Emily justru kembali bertemu dengan pria itu, bahkan ditawarkan untuk menjadi "wanita"nya! --- Benedict menyampirkan rambut Emily, lalu melabuhkan kecupannya di bibir gadis itu. Ciuman hangat itu dalam sekejap berubah menjadi panas, hingga membuat Emily meremang. Dia tak tahu, apa ini demam ataukah panas tubuh mereka berdua yang menyebabkannya. Emily tahu, dia harus memberikan sedikit makanan pada anjing pemburu agar mau berburu untuknya. Anggap saja ciuman ini adalah makanan itu. Jadi, ketika Benedict mulai bergerilya meminta lebih dari sekedar ciuman, Emily mendorong Benedict. Lalu, memberi satu tamparan keras pada pria itu, membuat Benedict yang tidak mengira akan hal tersebut tertegun. "Apa yang kau lakukan?" seru pria itu. Emily mengetatkan genggaman di tangannya. "Kau mengambil kegadisanku, Tuan berambut perak, setidaknya kau harus membiarkanku menamparmu meski sekali."

On Benedict Bradford’s birthday, he posted a link on social media with a taunting offer: [$1.99 buys you a prank—target: Sansa Stormcloud.] So when I arrived at his party, the guests drenched me in water, hurled glasses, smashed cake in my face, and shoved me down the stairs. Benedict sneered as he stood over me, arm slung around Lina Kipling. “You think you’re fit to marry into the Bradfords? Pathetic. “You’re not even in Lina’s league. You’re worth nothing more than a couple of dollars!” I picked myself up, dusted off my dress, and handed him an invitation. “You know, Benedict, the Bradfords have another heir. “And shortly afterwards, you’ll address me respectfully as your sister-in-law.”

A decade of planning culminates in a nearly bloodless coup in the Kingdom of Aleghor. King Benedict takes the throne with the intention of eradicating the corruption which was synonymous with the rule and name of his predecessor, King Atomas. It is a task that proves to be harder than overthrowing the kingdom itself and while Benedict sometimes compromises his values while acting with the best intentions, his actions will take their toll on himself and those who support him. When loyalties start to fall into question and control starts to slip away from Benedict, how far will he go to ensure the survival of his dream to eradicate the corruption and bring peace to all men in the kingdom? How far and long will the loyalty and love of his supporters last? This fantasy is set in a city against the backdrop of a city similar to Pompeii and the volcano, Vesuvius. A character similar to Samson in the bible helps to create an epic fantasy story including romance and tragedy. With the events similar to the life of Samson described in this novel, do not expect this story to be religious. It isn't. It is also only one part of the overall story. It is also not a retelling of the end of Pompeii.

When it's time for us to say our vows during the wedding ceremony, Jessica Fletcher, my wife, leaves the stage just so she can confess her love to her first love, Benedict Olson. "Once upon a time, we had vowed to stay together for the rest of our lives, Benedict. It's unfortunate that we've missed out on the chance to do so in this lifetime. Would you be willing to stay with me in our next life, then?" Touched, Benedict pulls Jessica into his arms. Then, he turns to tell me, "Oliver, I've already given Jess to you in this lifetime, so you must take good care of her for me." Everyone gasps in shock, thinking that they'll soon witness two men fighting over the same woman. But I merely smile at the sight of Benedict and Jessica embracing each other tightly. Then, I take off my ring before passing it to Benedict. "Why wait till your next life to be together? Since you've already made a vow to stay together for eternity, I might as well grant your wish."

The day Yancy Shepherd died, Benedict Page poisoned our dinner. His eyes were wild, and bloodshot, as he watched me writhe in agony. There was a madness in his gaze, but worse was the hatred, a disgust so deep it twisted his face into something unrecognizable. "If it weren't for you forcing your way into our lives, Yancy wouldn’t have died from heartbreak. You ruined us! It’s all your fault!" A photo slipped from his trembling hand and landed at my feet—Yancy at twenty, looking radiant, her smile as bright as a blooming flower. I collapsed to the ground, my strength fading fast like a rose withering in the final grasp of winter. Helpless, I waited for the darkness to claim me, consumed by despair and bitter regret. Why hadn’t I listened to the system and killed him when I had the chance? But when I opened my eyes again, everything was different. I stood watching Benedict flee our engagement ceremony. My brother moved to chase after him, but I quietly raised a hand, stopping him. This time, things would be different.
