Hello Bosses

I need your help on

1) Understanding what the issue is

2) The right solution and best way to go about it.

The car is ML350 4matic. From my knowledge through research, here is how I can describe it.

Serpentine Belt sucked inside the engine. the belt was shredded to the extent some tangled around the roller holding one of the pullies and force open the engine as a result a chain got dislodged from its sprocket and the engine refuse to start.

What should I be expecting to fix ?
How much should I budget for this fix ?
Is this a serious that can lead to other complication or reoccurring issues after fix or a straight forward fix ?

The belt is something I mean if it means changing it every 4 months I'm okay. I just want to understand the issue and fix/manage it. as that belt is the one and only issue I faced.

Please I need your advise.
