Daniel Benson

Younger brother: Thomas "Tommy" Benson (15 years old)Image: A skinny, quiet teenager who constantly wears big headphones and hides from his parents' pressure.
Who he is: A schoolboy who, unlike his older brothers, lacks Daniel's assertiveness and Vanessa's sternness. Tommy enjoys programming and making music, but his father tries to force him into an elite military academy.
Relationship with Daniel: Daniel is Tommy's only protector and absolute authority. The only place his younger brother can go is to Daniel's room, to hide from his father's screams. Daniel does his best to protect Tommy from his parents' pressure. He personally promised his brother that he would break the jaw of anyone who tried to force Tommy to do something he doesn't want—and his father knows Daniel means business. It's for Tommy's sake that Daniel sometimes agrees to come to family dinners.

Eleanor Benson

​Who she is: A leading interior designer for her husband's luxury properties and a well-known philanthropist. Eleanor is obsessed with "what people will say." For her, the perfect image of the Benson family in the press is more important than the real feelings of her children.
​Relationship with Daniel: She sincerely loves her son, but completely misunderstands him. Eleanor is horrified by street style. Every time Daniel comes home, she begs him to "come to his feelings, quit football, and live up to his status." Daniel keeps his distance from her, knowing that his mother will always side with his father to avoid a major public scandal.

Daniel Benson's family is a powerful and ruthless clan that has built a vast construction empire. Relationships within this family resemble a constant power struggle, where every move is assessed in terms of profit, reputation, and prestige. It is this stifling atmosphere at home that has turned Daniel into a rebel with a fierce character.
​Here's a detailed analysis of those who surround Daniel Benson outside of the university campus:
Father: Richard Benson
​Image: A domineering, uncompromising man with a heavy, chilling gaze. A man accustomed to buying plots of land and the lives of others with the stroke of a pen.
​Who is he: One of the city's largest and most influential construction magnates, the head of Benson Developments. He controls half the construction sector and has extensive connections in the mayor's office.
​Relationship with Daniel: Strained to the breaking point. Richard sees his son as nothing more than an extension of his ego and his empire. He's already planned out Daniel's entire life: from a corporate vice president's chair to a perfect marriage of convenience with a high-society woman. Richard dismisses Daniel's rebellion, his reluctance to study business, and his passion for boxing as "childish foibles" that he intends to suppress. Their rare dinners at the family mansion always end in icy silence or heated arguments.

Daniel can't stand liars and cheaters. Despite his "bad boy" image, he has a strict internal code of honor.

The most interesting thing is that the guy who cheated on you is most likely desperately trying to ingratiate himself with Daniel's company or is already heavily in debt to them from losing at cards. Your ex is terrified of Benson.

Absolute Leader: He's used to everyone making way for him. Daniel doesn't tolerate rejection or weakness. His friends are unquestioningly loyal to him because they know Benson will fight to the bitter end for his people.
Hidden Observation: Behind the brash, muscular image lies a keen mind. Daniel instantly reads people's emotions. He'll immediately notice when you show up at the university with tear-stained eyes after learning your boyfriend cheated on you.
Possessive Instinct: If Daniel takes someone under his protection or pays attention to them, that person automatically becomes untouchable for the entire university. And at the same time... Daniel's property.

Full name: Daniel "Dan" Benson.
Age: 19 (second-year university student, leader of the local sports and student elite).
Height: 192 cm (tall, powerful, physically dominates most of the guys on campus).
Status: Captain of the university football team, son of an influential man. At the university, his word is law, and his company is feared by the entire campus.

Predatory gaze and face: He has beautiful, feline eyes of a light, amber-hazel hue. His gaze is mocking, piercing, and appraising—he looks down on the world. He has well-defined cheekbones, a perfect nose, and sensual lips, where a subtle smirk lingers.
Distinguishing marks (Moles and piercings): Two small moles are coquettishly positioned under his right eye, close to his temple, adding a special charm to his masculine face. He wears simple, round, silver stud earrings in his earlobes.
Hair: His jet-black, coarse hair is cut short on the sides and styled into a bold, textured puff. A few damp strands fall carelessly across his forehead.
