"They might defeat you even though they are wrong and still send you to jail."
If he didn't know Leo well, he would have taken this comment as a mockery. Mark smiled. "If it's that way, leave it to me. I can handle it!" He wasn't afraid of this anymore, knowing who he had become. "I don't give a hell about the money he has. "Well, if you persist in meeting them, go to Durabs Food, you will see them there." This was the most popular restaurant in town with a park for the wealthy class. Unknown to Leo, he was working there. Mark kept his mouth shut, he didn't want to say that he was working there. Mark suspected that Elena and Bennet, as Leo mentioned, must be in the VIP. He wasn't working at the VIP in the camp, he had been there before but because of them, he was going to get there. His greatest aim was to meet with his wife and probably also meet with his mother-in-law. "And guess what, your wife is not only seeing Bennet, both are in a serious relationship and are planning to get married." Leo went further. That love Mark had for Elena was still there. He stopped to imagine if Leo was telling the truth, or if he was telling a lie just to make him go and have issues with his wife. "How did you know all that?" This was where he was going to get the truth. His ears were paying attention eagerly to what his response here would be. "Bennet and I are friends. Close friends." "Wow, so how did Bennet get to know my wife? Did he tell you that also?" "Yes, of course." Mark leaned towards him, listening. He couldn't stop himself from hearing such important information. If there was any lie, he would know. "Bennet told me that one of his friends linked him up with him. The man is working for a greater President, a CEO." "Wow, that's true!" he said subconsciously. Leo stared at him with surprise, guessing why he was accepting it, like he already knew the news. The restaurant that Leo talked about was a famous sightseeing spot on May Lane, it was a cool tourist attraction site with a natural park, and it was a place for the elites in the same society. Bennet, knowing Elena loved high places like this, chose to have a date with her there. Mark grew furious upon hearing what his wife was doing after she promised to stay loyal and faithful to him. "I wish I had never told him!" Leo regretted seeing how Mark was determined to get revenge. He just didn't want him to get into trouble, then he would be accused of being the reason for telling him this secret. He knew that if Mark took any action and got hurt in the process, he would be the one to blame. "I'm storming this place right away," Mark growled. Before Leo could say a word, Mark took to his heels, running towards the road where he caught up with a taxi. He zoomed off. "Take me to Durabs Food!" When he arrived at the restaurant where he was working, the VIP lounge where he had never been there, he went straight to the door by the side of the gate. The security officials at the gate came out to question him. "Young man, where are you heading to?" The leader of the security team walked forward to ask him. Three other guards were behind him, gazing at Mark with mocking eyes. "Who are you and who do you want to see here?" The third officer doubled up his step, coming to the front to ask. "We need to know who he is here to see!" He affirmed what his colleague had just said. This was the very first question the security leader was supposed to ask. "I'm Mark Dan, by name," he didn't want to mention his full name, he could be recognized, and he had already promised his dad not to tell anyone who he was yet. "A friend of mine told me that my wife is here." "Who is that friend that told you?" The third man asked. The rest laughed. "He saw how foolish you were. That's why he told you so, and you also affirmed how foolish you were by coming here." Mark stared at the leader of the team with hate. "Are you still trying to say I can't come here to have a good time, I don't have the money for that?" He was pissed at the way they kept emphasizing who he was here to see. "Will you keep quiet, no one gets to talk when I'm talking, not even you," he scolded. It rang in his head. That is why Leo didn't want to tell him initially. He thought of what to say at this point to avoid getting Leo into trouble, because whatever he said would be relayed to his friend, Bennet. "I need to have my wife come out here, I want Elena. How can a wealthy man with a company like him have an affair with a married woman? Does he value pleasure more than his company's reputation?" "Are you planning to expose him?" They derided him. He breathed so heavily, with the intensity of his heartbeat. Bennet was called by one of the security officers, he wore his clothes quickly and went out. Mark saw him approaching the gate. He was standing with a phone in his hand. He seemed to be making a call. "Young man, what's going on here?" He asked him with disgust as he reached them. From his eyes radiates fury which can't be easily quenched, he has some sinister motives in mind. Mark knew but that didn't concern him, all he aimed at was talking to his wife. Though he stood before him, asking him what he wanted, that he had to ask for him to be called out, Mark still didn't say anything but his look answered the question. His eyes darkened as he looked at Bennet.

CHAPTER 194: THE VERDICT
EPILOGUE : A YEAR LATER The courtroom was filled with apprehension and tension. From a mile away, one could observe and note the seriousness of the faces, how enraptured they seemed to be. The silence in the courtroom could be broken by just a pin drop, and everyone was rapt with attention, staring at the judge, the jury, the hideous criminal with beautiful eyes, slender waist, a beautiful body and the prettiest of faces, but with a heart darker than the devil's. The entire city was out for her, and everybody in the room was dying for justice to take its course. The entire courtroom was filled to the brim, and even from the outside, people were peering through the windows. It was the largest court in the city, but the turn up had been so massive that people had to look from the windows. That was the kind of reception that Karen Shapiro had garnered. A lot of people had heard her story, the murders she had committed, and how she had controlled the underworld of crime. She wa
CHAPTER 193: THE PILL CALLED REGRET
In the days that followed, Jenett Darius felt as if she was living in a dream. She could barely respond to questions that were thrown her way, and she knew it made the chief of police genuinely worried because of the agreement she had made to testify against Karen Shapiro in the court. How was she going to be able to do that when her purpose of living was no more? When her son was no more, the child that she had birthed hadn't even lived to experience the remorse that she was feeling? The removal of the guilt that had filled her chest by turning herself in? On a sunny Monday morning, she was shocked to find the chief of police opening the door to her cell. She jolted awake, and so did Margaret Woods. She had barely spoken to Margaret since she had heard the news of her son's death, and all she had wanted was for death to snatch her too. But no matter how much she wished for it, it never seemed to come. Death knew that it wasn't time for her to go, and it was playing its part by r
CHAPTER 192: AGAINST ALL ODDS
But Karen Shapiro was in no state to do what she had conjured in her mind. She was brought down by a simple Roundhouse kick, and her head was pinned to the floor as the cold metal of the handcuffs clamped on her wrists. Karen Shapiro was bundled back into her room, just like the common criminal she was. ********* When Mark Darius came to consciousness, he instantly found out that his side was hurting and that he was in a hospital. The dream he had been having was the same one that had tormented him during the previous nights, Karen Shapiro pursuing him endlessly with a knife, her screams making him terrified and making him perspire profusely. By the time he managed to sit up in the white, comfortable bed he was in, he was covered in a sheen of sweat. He also acknowledged immediately that the bed he was lying in wasn't his, and that his room didn't have a speck of blue in it. He had always been a green and orange color person from the start. And those were the colors that flound
CHAPTER 191: GAME OVER
When Karen Shapiro came to consciousness, the first thing she recognized was the continuous beeping of the heart monitor machine next to her and the needle that was in her skin. Her head felt as if it had been pounded upon severally and her eyes wanted to close of their own accord. Where was she? What had happened to her? For all she knew about her being in a blue and white room that stank of drugs and antiseptic, she knew within her that she was missing something. Something was wrong. She wasn't supposed to be in the room that she was, and she knew it. But she couldn't place it. At that same moment, the door opened, revealing a nurse in a white uniform that bore kind, brown eyes. Her hair was covered with a nursing cap, and when she smiled, it was cheerful and broad, seeming to light up the whole room. It made Karen Shapiro smile slightly even though she clearly didn't want to, even though her head felt as if a thousand nails had been drilled into it. The nurse proceeded
CHAPTER 190: A MOTHER'S TORMENT
Swallowing, he spoke those dreaded words that Jenett Darius heard in her nightmares for days, those words that seemed to stick in her mind, that had left a firm imprint in her soul. “I'm afraid your son has been found dead amongst the bodies of the dead in the aftermath of the Splendid bar shooting. He was alive when the ambulance left the bar, but he was confirmed dead on arrival at the hospital. He died from several gunshot wounds.” He paused, and Jenett Darius could only hear the blood pounding in her ears and the hammering of her chest. She couldn't believe it, she was hoping it wasn't true. But it was reality, the cuffs on her hands were real and the chief was still standing in front of her. “I'm sorry that I'm the one that has come to you bearing this sad news, Miss Jenett. I wish I could take it back, but it has already happened.” When she didn't speak, he ventured further, touching her lightly on the shoulder. It was clear that he wanted her to say something, to at least
CHAPTER 189: THE AFTERMATH
As soon as he struck Karen Shapiro on the head with the heavy box, he knew that he had only a few seconds before he would totally black out. And that was why without wasting a precious second, Mark Darius made his way to the phone in Derek Campton's hand. Without skipping a beat, he dialed the popular emergency line, his hands trembling. The amount of blood he had lost was going to determine if he got to live or not, and Mark Darius knew that he had lost quite a lot of blood. “911, what's your emergency?” Smiling, Mark Darius was slowly embracing the darkness that was enveloping him. He was fighting to stay alive, he was fighting death, the darkness, and even though it looked bleak, he was sure that he was going to win. He was going to say his location before the darkness enveloped him completely. It had been quite a long day, and Mark Darius wanted nothing more than to lay down and rest. He had been fighting a battle which he didn't know how it was going to turn out, and t
