Chapter 12
Third-person POVThe executive walked in wearing oversized sunglasses and a collar turned up so high it nearly brushed his ears. He moved with stiff authority, as if he expected applause just for entering the room. Several students rushed to greet him, their voices full of forced cheer. One girl told him the glasses looked stylish. Another said he reminded her of someone from a luxury ad. The executive gave a thin smile, pleased with himself, until Benjamin spoke.“It isn’t stylish,” Benjamin said. “He’s probably hiding bruises on his face and jaw.”A quiet ripple passed through the students. The executive's expression faltered before he caught himself. He turned his head toward Benjamin and Elise, who were seated together near the aisle. His lips curled.“You know… I’m surprised you two even dared to show up,” he said.Benjamin leaned back in his chair. “I don't understand, why wouldn’t I come?”The executive scoffed. “Finance is about clients, connections, and capital. People here m

Third-person POVReed Peters did not sound like a man used to being questioned. His voice had the calm confidence of someone who’d been in power for years without anyone daring to challenge him. But the moment Benjamin spoke, that confidence broke. A sharp pause filled the line.“I’m sorry,” Reed said. “Who is this?”“Someone who has seen the truth about your executive,” Benjamin replied. He paced toward the window, the city lights shining like broken glass below. “You hired a man who has been sleeping with students and taking bribes for recruitment. Tonight he almost assaulted a woman using your company’s name.”The hotel manager across the room froze. His breath caught, and he looked like he wished he could disappear.On the phone, Reed inhaled sharply. “What are you talking about? Who are you accusing?”“Your executive,” Benjamin said, voice steady. “The one handling campus recruitment for Trinity Corporation. He’s lying on the floor of room 1214 at Golden Front Hotel. I’m sure you
Chapter 10
Third-person POVThe executive’s scream choked into a wet gasp as Benjamin’s fist drove into his gut. His body folded over Benjamin’s arm before sliding down the wall. He tried to crawl, but Benjamin caught him by the collar and dragged him back like he weighed nothing at all.Elise pressed herself to the side of the bed, shaking so hard her knees knocked together. The sight in front of her did not look real. Only minutes ago she had been pinned down, terrified she would never escape that room. Now the man who nearly destroyed her was curled on the carpet, barely conscious, while Benjamin stood over him like a storm no one could stop.Benjamin dropped the executive again. This time the man didn’t even raise his hands. His eyelids fluttered. Blood trickled from his nose and pooled at the corner of his mouth. His breath came in short, uneven bursts.Elise stared. The color drained from her face. “Benjamin… He looks like he’s dying.”Benjamin glanced at her. His chest rose and fell slowl
Chapter 9
Third-person POVThe elevator doors slid open at the Golden Front Hotel, and Benjamin stepped into the quiet hallway. Evening light filtered in through the tall windows at the end of the corridor, soft and gold, the kind that made even velvet carpets look calm. He rolled his shoulders once, feeling the weight of the day press down on him again.The dinner had been noisy, full of forced laughter and empty bragging, but the moment he left, it felt like someone turned the volume of life back down. He could finally breathe.He keyed into his room and flicked on the lights. Everything was spotless. The sheets had crisp folds, the air held a faint citrus scent, and his things were untouched. For a second he simply stood there as the quiet wrapped around him. He loosened his collar, set his phone aside, and dropped into the couch with a long breath. His head tipped back. His eyes drifted shut. Five minutes of silence, he told himself. Just five.Then it came.A muffled thump from the next r

Third-person POVFor a moment no one moved. The server straightened, his stiff posture turning respectful in seconds.Benjamin leaned back in his chair. He didn’t look shaken or triumphant. He looked relaxed. Almost bored.Ryan stared at the receipt as if the numbers might rearrange themselves if he blinked hard enough.Then Benjamin smiled. Not the warm kind. The sort that came from watching someone trip over their own bragging.“You all ordered well,” he said. “For people who thought I couldn’t pay.”Someone let out a small gasp. Ryan’s face drained a shade lighter.Benjamin stood up, pushed in his chair, and dusted off his sleeve like he had just finished a casual lunch instead of dropping three hundred fifty thousand without a second thought.“Next time,” he added, “don’t challenge someone you don’t understand.”Ryan jolted in his seat. “You—”Benjamin didn’t give him the chance. He turned to the server.“I’m done here.”The server bowed nearly ninety degrees. The same man who ear
Chapter 7
Third-person POVThe server stiffened at Benjamin’s words, the polite smile on his face freezing like wet paint in cold air. For a moment he stood there stunned, as if he had misheard.Ryan made a choking sound that turned into a laugh. “The highest tier? Imperial? Benjamin, do you even know what that costs?”The other students laughed with him. The server cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. “Sir, perhaps I should repeat the price so there is no misunderstanding. The Imperial service begins at twelve thousand per head. With your group size, that would come to—”Ryan cut in. “He knows the number. He just doesn’t understand it.”Benjamin did not look away from the server. “I said Imperial.”Gasps moved through the group. The server blinked slowly, then inclined his head. “Very well, sir. If you insist.”But before he could finish inputting the selection on his tablet, Ryan let out a hard breath. “Hold on. Hold on.” He stepped forward with a swagger that bounced off the
