Benjamin Card Novels & Stories

I held my breath deep in my lungs. Oh my holy God. What do I do? I refused to look out from underneath the protection of the fluffy floral comforter under which I had taken refuge. “I am Benjamin. Benjamin Parker.” He paused. “You can call me Ben. I am staying up the road. I came by to see if you had any, uh, sugar.” His voice was smooth, soothing, familiar.

Anthony tried to convince him when Carlos dropped another bomb on him. "Who is Benjamin by the way?"

I held back the fear and uncertainty in my heart. Lucas glanced at me and weakly smiled. "Don't worry. Sir Benjamin is called the Great Devil for a reason. He had been suppressing the Capital for thousands of years. It proves how powerful he truly is. You might not know this, but he is actually the most powerful grim reaper under the heavens."

He snatched the card away from her and asked with a frown, "What did you say? This card is his, and there's one hundred and fifty million dollars in it?" Hannah nodded with all her might as she replied, "Yes. I just saw it. It really has that amount in there." Benjamin had a complicated expression as he held the card. He glanced at the card and then at Liam. His mind was running a million miles an hour as he was lost in thought for a while.

A small drawer slid out from the paneling, revealing a locked compartment. From it, he retrieved a worn business card. Only a name printed on it: Edgar Royce. He turned it over, thinking. Royce was a fixer. Discreet, clinical, efficient. Not a gossip, not a leech. Just the kind of man you called when your own instincts weren’t enough. Benjamin sat back down, dialed the number, and waited. Three rings. Then a quiet voice: "Royce? It's Benjamin Hamilton." There was a place, before the other person responded.

Which was embarrassing. Benjamin cleared his throat to draw my attention. "Sorry about Benita. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You can ask me whatever you want to know about Xander. If you are scared, he will not tell you the complete truth at times. This is my number Karis." Benjamin handed his card over to me; it also included his W******p line, which seemed very convenient. "Thanks, I will think about it," I replied as I accepted the card from him. Benita, who was now labelled to be the bad guy, excused herself to go to the washroom.

“Denis always admired King Cardinal, and his reign was the most peaceful we’ve had in a long time. All the Cardinals who’ve ascended the throne have made the country prosper, but there were always disputes. Your father, however, was different. He managed to rule without any animosity from neighbouring countries. King Cardinal was fair and talented. When I wrote my brother that letter, I hoped his beliefs were still those he had ten years ago.” We had been staying at Xander’s house for days, and we had not seen or heard from the curator. This had to mean something. If Denis was going to betray us, he would have done it already. He would probably even get a ransom or something for delivering

The bartender came up to them and placed a huge bill before Benjamin who promised he would pay for the drinks for everyone at the bar. Benjamin got up in a wobbly manner. He was unable to keep his balance for a few seconds before Eliza went ahead and caught hold of his arm. He looked at her with a drunk smile before pulling out his credit card in style from his wallet. The bartender took the card from his shaky hand and swiped it across the machine. A beep sound came out from the machine and the payment was successful. Eliza was amazed at how Benjamin was able to pay such a high price with no regrets or concerns.

Leonard continued, "Benjamin moved overseas ten years ago. He moved two days after your father died. Based on his appearance, it's very likely that he was one of the kidnappers that they missed at the time. "I'll send the information on Benjamin too so that you can take a look." Gabriella replied, "Okay, thank you." Leonard sent a document. Gabriella was about to open it when Leonard said, "The thing is, as Benjamin isn't in the system for order of arrest, it's meaningless even if we know that he's connected to Harley." The police hadn't even found Benjamin. It's no surprise that the car accident involving Gabriella's father had been categorized as an ordinary drunk driving incident.
