Sounds of music were heard from the apartment where Mark and his wife, Elena, lived. The apartment belonged to Margret, Elena's mom. It was an inheritance from her parents, so when Mark got married to her daughter, since he didn’t have money, he packed his belongings to live with them. He married her out of love, and Elena loved him for being the rich, handsome, and charming guy she knew, but along the line, she began to change, especially as Mark couldn’t give her what the husbands of her friends were giving to her friends. Mark and Elena met when they were both in college. Then, Mark was one of the richest guys on campus, from the prestigious Darius family. Her family, the Wood family, was also a rich one, though not as rich as Mark Darius'. The patriarchs of both families were friends and arranged for their heirs to get married right outside of college, since they already seemed to get along. Margret, Elena's mother, was thrilled as she would be called the luckiest mother-in-l

“So all the insults you’ve been rendering to me in private aren’t enough for you, you had to talk rudely to me and laugh at me in public, right in the presence of your so-called friends?” Mark thundered. Elena turned over to her friends. "You see!" Mark was eager to hear what she had to say. His eyes were blinking countless times. That was how he reacted when he was so furious, but Elena didn't even spare a second to look at him. "See as jobless as he is as I already told you ladies, but this dude ass would come over here to say we shouldn't talk about him!" "Woman, watch the words you use about me!" He barked at her with his fists tightened. If she was not a lady and the person whom he loved so much, he would just give her a punch which would get her mouth shut up once and for all. "Hey, excuse me," Elena thundered. "Close your mouth when rich people are talking." "You are all so rich," he mocked them. "If not for the selfish actions of my step-mom, do you think any of you her

Mark's first thought was to go get Elena and Margret their money from the bank. They were one of the first people he was going to exact his revenge on. He had to do it urgently. He was now the new President, he felt his father didn't need to know what he was about to do, knowing fully well he would try to discourage him. "They don't deserve this money?" He imagined his dad saying this to him. "Yes, I want to set this as a trap, they will wonder where I got it from and start coming nearer. Only then will I show them the door to my heart has been closed." He nodded his head. "Dad, we will meet soon. I want to go pay my debts, all those I owe." "Son!" Darius called him back as he was almost reaching the door. He walked back to listen to what his dad had to say. Darius placed his hand on his shoulder, staring directly into his eyes. "Whatever you are doing, don't let people know who you are still. We are taking out our revenge step by step." "Yes Dad, I've heard you. I'm stil

"Where is Elena?" He asked after a while, still not switching his gaze. The security men stood aside watching what was going on. Mark had become so fierce with Bennet when he was talking to them. Bennet stared at him with a slight grin on his lips. Inside him, he started to think, "This is just a poor fellow that wouldn't cost me any stress to deal with." This belief manifested in the smile on his lips, as his eyes steadily analyzed the man in front of him dressed in tattered clothes. "So you are the poor fellow Elena had been talking about?" "Don't you have eyes? Yes, it's me!" The confidence with which Mark had used to reply to Bennet shocked everyone. This got Bennet pissed so much, he got so furious, he felt like hitting him so hard. "I want to see her right now!" He ordered, which made Mark smirk. "Do you mean my wife-to-be? What do you want to do with her?" He threw some mockery into his statement, which got Mark more angry. "What?" He barked. "Are you saying that you

"Could this be his dad?" She asked herself one more time, but not knowing it was audible enough for Mark to hear. She summoned up courage and shifted over to Mark, shaking all over. If possible, she was going to beg him to forgive both Bennet and her for what they did to him. "Sir please," She shifted back to Mr Darius. "I'm so sorry....... " "Hey you, what are you doing with my dad? What are you doing now, Elena?" Mark interrupted, scolding her. She got scared and attempted to hold Mark on the wrist, while still on the floor, to apologize to him. She saw he was now on another level, no longer one to be toiled with. "Why do you look so frightened, I thought you were so strong?" Mark mocked. It was time for him to mock them, soon they would each be getting what they deserve. Mark's eyes moved from Elena to Bennet. He wasn't going to have any pity for them. Bennet fell on his knees, he wasn't up to Mark's level, he knew. With all the embarrassment he caused Mark, his instinct told
