Chapter 1

"Siapa kau ni, perempuan? Apa yang kau nak? Tolonglah ada sikit kesopanan, ya."

Seorang wanita tanpa seurat benang memanjat ke atas katil, dan Benedict Capulet membuka matanya, menjerit.

Wanita itu muda, cantik, dan mempunyai tubuh yang menawan.

Wajahnya kosong ketika dia berbaring, merentangkan anggota badannya luas-luas.

Posenya sangat mengejutkan.

Benedict mengundur ke belakang, memalingkan kepalanya, dan melambai-lambaikan tangannya, "Tolong, jangan buat macam ni."

"Kalau aku tak buat, kau takkan pukul aku sampai mati? Cepatlah habiskan saja!"

"Kenapa aku nak buat macam tu?"

"Kau mabuk. Bukankah kau selalu buka lampu dan buat macam ni bila balik rumah? Kenapa malam ni kau berpura-pura sopan?" Wanita itu kelihatan sedih, air mata mengalir di pipinya.

"Itu mengarut! Mana mungkin aku jadi lelaki macam tu?"

Benedict tergolek jatuh dari katil, perutnya berasa mual.

Dia bergegas keluar, berlari ke bilik mandi, dan muntah, kemudian menyimbah air sejuk ke mukanya.

Air sejuk itu menusuk tulang, dan dia terus tersedar.

"Apa benda ni..."

Benedict melihat wajah yang tidak dikenali dalam cermin.

Lelaki dalam cermin itu tidak terurus, dengan janggut yang tebal, berbau arak, seorang pemabuk yang kusut.

"Ini bukan aku, ini..."

Dia berasa pening, dan kenangan perlahan-lahan bergabung.

Di atas kapal persiaran antarabangsa, dalam perjudian bertaraf dunia, dia memenangi seratus bilion dolar, terus masuk ke akaunnya.

Tetapi dia dikhianati, kapal persiaran itu meletup, dan dia mati.

Pada hari mayatnya dibakar, tunangnya menangis teresak-esak, pengsan beberapa kali.

Dan dia dilahirkan semula!

Musim sejuk 2010, di Kota Newport, dalam tubuh seorang lelaki lain bernama Benedict Capulet.

Isterinya bernama Bella Forbes, dan anak perempuannya Susie Forbes, berumur empat tahun.

Benedict ini seorang yang rosak akhlak, tenggelam dalam segala maksiat.

Dia kalah setiap kali berjudi.

Dia kehilangan ratusan ribu dolar tunai, sepuluh rumah, sebuah villa, tiga kereta, dan semua harta keluarga yang ditinggalkan oleh ibu bapanya.

Dia mabuk sampai tidak sedar diri, pulang ke rumah dan mengamuk, memecahkan barang, memukul isteri dan anaknya.

Dia perlu menyalakan lampu untuk melakukan itu, dan Bella perlu berpose seperti yang dia lakukan tadi.

Jika tidak, dia akan memukul Bella sampai mati.

Malangnya, Benedict mengalami hiperaktif yang teruk, kekal gelisah untuk tempoh yang lama selepas minum.

Bella terseksa sehingga berharap untuk mati.

Sejak berkahwin dengan Benedict, dia tidak pernah mempunyai hari yang tenang.

Kalau bukan kerana Susie, dia sudah lama mengakhiri semuanya dengan Benedict.

Bila ada duit, Benedict sering tidak pulang ke rumah, main kayu tiga dengan perempuan lain.

Bila duit habis, dia pulang ke rumah Bella. Kalau Bella enggan, dia akan memukul dan memaki hamun, malah melepaskan kemarahannya pada Susie.

Baru-baru ini, dia bahkan kehilangan rumah dua bilik yang terakhir.

Esok, pemungut hutang kata mereka akan datang untuk ambil geran rumah. Kalau dia tak bagi, mereka akan ambil Bella untuk sebulan.

Bella terkenal cantik, ramai yang meminatinya.

Benedict sebenarnya setuju.

Bagi dia, Bella macam mayat saja. Asalkan dia dapat simpan rumah tu, dia boleh gadaikan dan berjudi lagi untuk seketika.

Berjudi macam ketagihan bagi dia.

Kalau dua hari tak berjudi, dia rasa sengsara.

Petang tadi, dia ambil seratus dolar terakhir dari Bella dan kalah semuanya, berhutang empat ratus dolar.

Selepas minum berat, dia pulang ke rumah, bogel, dan rebah di atas katil, mabuk teruk.

"Macam mana aku, Benedict, boleh dilahirkan semula dalam jasad sampah macam ni? Layakkah dia pakai nama ni?"

Benedict mencubit pahanya kuat-kuat, hingga berdarah, merasai kesakitan.

Dia dilahirkan semula, ini nyata.

Dia berasa tertekan; dia seorang penjudi legenda.

Seorang taikun terkemuka, raja judi.

Hubungan, kemahiran berjudi, adab, karisma, dan kekuatan fizikalnya—bagaimana pemilik tubuh ini sebelumnya boleh dibandingkan?

Dia berasal dari Rumah Anak Yatim Kota Newport. Mengenangkan tunang tercinta, Camilla Mellon, yang telah bersamanya melalui pelbagai kesulitan.

Dia telah berjanji untuk menang kali terakhir, kemudian kembali ke Kota Newport bersamanya, bersara, berkahwin, mempunyai anak, dan menjalani hari-hari mereka dengan aman.

Tetapi sekarang, dia dan Camilla dipisahkan oleh hidup dan mati.

Dia teringat Bella yang tidak bersalah dan Susie yang malang di luar.

Benedict mengeluh dan menggelengkan kepala.

"Tiada jalan kembali."

"Dalam kehidupan itu, Camilla mempunyai seratus bilion dolar. Saya harap dia boleh bahagia!"

"Dalam kehidupan ini, Camilla sepatutnya masih di sekolah menengah? Di mana dia?"

"Tak mengapalah, saya akan hadapi perkara ini satu persatu. Saya akan cari siapa yang meletupkan saya nanti. Buat masa sekarang, Bella dan Susie tak sepatutnya menderita begitu banyak!"

Benedict menunjuk ke cermin dan menyindir, "Kau bajingan, kau bernasib baik!"

Dia segera mandi air sejuk, menggosok gigi, merasakan kesejukan.

Rumah itu sudah berhenti menyediakan pemanasan kerana bil yang tidak dibayar.

Dia kembali ke bilik tidur, di mana Bella terbaring seperti sebelumnya.

Tanpa membayar pemanasan, bilik itu seperti peti sejuk.

Dia tidak menutupi dirinya dengan apa-apa, terlalu takut, masih dalam posisi yang sama.

Dia terbaring dengan tenang, mata tertutup, menggigil kerana kesejukan, kelihatan kurang seperti mayat.

Benedict tidak berani melihat terlalu banyak; penyakit tubuh itu menyakitkan.

Bella yang malang, dia adalah isteri orang lain.

Wajahnya pucat, tubuhnya lebam dan terluka.

Benedict memandang ke bawah pada tangannya yang masih agak langsing.

Dia telah memukul Bella, memukul Susie—lelaki jenis apa itu?

Dia segera berpaling, membuka almari, dan mula mencari.

"Jangan susah-susah cari, tak ada satu sen pun dalam rumah ini," Bella menangis tanpa daya.

"Ya, saya tahu."

Benedict menemui beberapa pakaian usang untuk dipakai.

Berbogel dan berinteraksi dengan Bella adalah penghinaan baginya.

Pakaian dan seluar yang baik semuanya hilang, jadi dia terpaksa memakai apa yang ada.

Kemeja putih, jaket hitam, seluar hitam, hampir boleh dipakai.

Benedict yang dulu adalah seorang yang bongkok setinggi 5'7". Sekarang, dia berdiri tegak setinggi 5'11".

Dia kembali ke sisi katil, menarik selimut ke atas Bella.

"Kau dah menderita. Tidur dulu. Saya nak keluar sekejap," suara Benedict tenang dan lembut.

Bella terkejut.

Dia tertanya-tanya jika dia salah dengar.

Bila si bajingan ini pernah bercakap macam ni?

Dia membuka mata, terpinga-pinga.

Benedict telah bercukur, wajahnya pucat dan kusam, tapi masih agak kacak.

Dia berpakaian rapi, berdiri tegak, dengan aura kemuliaan.

Ke mana dia nak pergi?

Dia sudah jatuh miskin, adakah dia masih ada kekasih?

"Perempuan mana yang buta sangat nak bercinta dengan kau?" Bella berkata dingin, menutup matanya.

"Selain kau, mungkin tak ada siapa pun," Benedict berkata dengan sedikit kasih sayang.

Benedict mengerutkan dahi sedikit, "Luka di kaki dan tangan kau dah bernanah. Dan kau ada jangkitan ginekologi?"

"Kau baru tahu? Saya merancang nak pergi hospital esok, tapi duit saya..." hati Bella pahit, air mata mengalir.

Bau jangkitan yang lemah mengganggu deria Benedict.

Dia mengeluarkan tisu dan berjongkok di tepi katil.

Dia perlahan-lahan mengelap air matanya, dengan lembut dan penuh kasih sayang, berkata, "Maafkan saya, semuanya akan baik-baik saja. Untuk kau dan Susie, saya akan menakluk dunia."

Air mata Bella mengalir, mata tertutup rapat, tidak mahu melihat wajah hipokrit ini.

"Kau masih nak berjudi, kau gila! Tak ada apa-apa lagi yang tinggal dalam rumah ini."

"Ya, saya tak ada apa-apa lagi. Tapi rumah, Bella, Susie, mereka tak boleh hilang. Selain itu, kau sangat cantik, dan Susie sangat comel. Tunggu saya."

Dengan itu, Benedict menyelimutkan Bella dan berpaling untuk pergi.

Bella terbaring di situ lama sebelum tersedar, menanggalkan selimut dan memukul katil.

Dia menjerit dalam keputusasaan, hati remuk.

"Benedict, kau bajingan! Kau bukan manusia! Kau bukan manusia!"

"Adakah kau akan kehilangan rumah, saya, dan Susie juga?"

"Susie masih muda sangat, kau bajingan."

Dilanda kesedihan, Bella pengsan.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
