Underestimated Retribution

Chapter 9: You Don't Deserve Pity!

"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 him he was going to pay dearly for it. His eyes got soaked with tears, he was imagining his fate before the richest man in the country and his son.

"I'm not moved by a crocodile's tears." Mark growled. "You're a man, why should you be crying?" He knew how this statement would hurt Bennet, so he said it.

Bennet tried to defend himself but no one was willing to pay attention to him. So he kept quiet, sobbing as he buried his face in between his legs.

"Elena, I never believed you could turn to this!" Darius shrugged his shoulders.

"Let me tell you I later stopped the helicopter and went down halfway. This happened before it crashed. I was in my house when the pilot called me to report they were going down. I knew what that meant."

"I chose to remain deceased as everyone thought, including my son, to see how everyone who had behaved well while I was present would act. I wanted to see everyone's true character."

"You don't need to say anything, Elena. I've seen what I wanted to see. You can never in this world become my son's wife. Never!" He stood up in anger. Elena jerked backwards in fear, clamping her hands together in supplication.

"Please dad!"

"Shut up! Don't call me dad," Darius barked, almost sending Elena across the floor. This was the man who treated her before as a daughter. She couldn't believe she had just messed up her chances. Just like they say, that opportunity may present itself once.

"And moving to you, Bennet. You were so dumb to take up a married woman out of all the single girls in the world?"

"I'm so sorry sir!" He begged him, but Darius didn't even listen to him.

"I sent one of my men to link my former daughter-in-law with you, but you didn't know," Darius said to Bennet, and Elena, with Bennet, were left gasping in shock.

"We are trapped!" She muttered. "I can't believe this actually happened."

Elena was shocked, her body vibrated with so many sparks. It was as though electricity was being passed through her body.

"You were searching for a wealthy man, right? This is the end of your search!" Mark mocked her.

"You didn't want to stay with me, but now I'm far beyond your reach!" He muttered proudly, walking over to her and pushing off her head round in a dominant style. "But now I'm way off your league, all I wish for is divorce. Soon the entire process will be finalized."

"Please don't do this to me!" Elena begged, but Mark rolled his eyes with disgust at her.

"You don't deserve pity and I wouldn't grant you what you don't deserve," Mark snapped.

"So this is the wicked woman you called a wife?" His dad asked, staring at her with disgust in his face. His words made it seem as though he didn't even know her from the onset.

"She's the one and only wife I loved so much!" Mark replied.

"Hmmm!" Darius twitched his face. Elena's heart skipped at the comment, the expression on his face. Now she had realized what Mark said was now coming to reality. She had lost him.

She panted heavily, eager to hear what next would be said about her.

"I hated her right from the first time she walked in here, she is arrogant and disrespectful!"

This comment alone sent Elena's heart rumbling and her hormones shattering her emotions. She was no longer herself right now.

Elena realized that not only would Bennet be the only one to get punished, but she and even her mother, as well. In fact, she will be the main character. Her mind flashed back to the last threat Mark made before leaving the restaurant after they had finished torturing him. Only if she knew how soon things would turn around, would she have supported him? She thought within herself.

It was only a twenty-four-hour difference. He had moved from the wretched bastard she called him to a billionaire that was very rich.

She shook terribly.

"Do you think what you are going through now would make me pity you?" Mark smirked.

She was surprised that the man who had been dying once to have her, doing all the things to get her attention, was treating her right now like a slave, like someone he didn't know from eternity.

"You have already imagined me giving you your money so soon, but you will go through a lot to get it. I'll give you ten times the punishment you gave me."

His sinister smirk accompanied a chuckle which sent a dangerous aura through the entire room.

Danger loomed in the air. No one knows what's going to happen at the next minute.

"Bennet, because you chose to date my wife of all women in the world, I've sent your company's name to the appropriate agency, the government will soon force you to resign."

This was the truth, he would be called for trial by the appropriate agency, then the board of directors would force him to resign.

He smirked. "After you resign, I'll take over the company from you. It has been bought already by the government."

Bennet sank to the ground. This was a great secret he never expected to hear.

"What am I going to do now?" He cried. Elena couldn't control her tears either. Bennet was her last hope, and it was now she needed him the most that this was happening.

"We will do anything for you, please don't just do this to us!" Bennet begged. "I have a lot of bills. If this happens, how will I survive?"

"Well, I don't think you had such questions when you were going around, spending time with my wife. Remember last night how you hit me so badly and insulted me like I was worthless? I don't think you should think about that now." Saying this, he stood up and walked out of the room.

Bennet and Elena knew they were stuck in a difficult situation.
