The Prisoner of the Devils'

Determinations

Jeane enters the room and finds Starla curled up in the corner. He looks very chaotic, his condition is really concerning, not to mention with a gaping wound on his palm with blood that continues to pour and looks just ignored. Jeane was so pityed, Starla's situation was truly apprehensive.

Starla looks up after noticing Jeane's presence, it's obvious that she feels sorry for him, and she hates being pitied. With a giant step Starla tried to stand up, but unfortunately he fell back because of his body that was very weak. And it made him cry again, he hated looking pathetic, he hated himself who could not fight at all, he hated himself who was so weak in front of Skylar.

"Let me help, Miss!" Jeane tried to help him. But his arm was snapped furiously by Starla.

"No need! And stop looking at me with pity, I hate being pitied." Starla shouted, then tried to stand up again but her body fell back down.

He's really weak.

Despite Jeane's rejection, she still took the initiative to try to help Starla stand up, although she continued to jerk her arm, and continued to refuse her help. "Don't do it, Miss. The wound must be treated quickly before it gets infected." Jeane keeps trying to calm Starla who is still stubborn and does not want to be given any help even though her body is not strong and so weak.

Starla lowered her head and looked at her gaping palms with blood continuously flowing, not even realizing that she had been injured this badly. The pain in his heart exceeded the pain in his palm, so he felt nothing in it. And it was only realized after Jeane reminded him, the wound on his hand was really severe and had to be treated immediately.

Jeane, who saw Starla, had calmed back down to help the girl stand up, and this time Starla complied to help her stand up. "Let me help, Miss!"

Starla is helped by Jeane changing clothes in silence. The girl did not speak or help Jeane even if she just moved her hand. And Jeane continued to patiently help her change clothes and even treat her injuries with great care.

"I'm sorry." - her great-grandson, but Jeane clearly heard the words of the girl who was now lying weak.

"For what, Miss?" jeane asked not to understand.

"Because I've always been rude to you, but you still want to help me. So forgive me," Starla said sincerely.

Jeane smiled nodding. "That's nothing, Miss. It's my job, I can take it. It's me who should be apologizing." Jeane paused her sentence and moved the blanket to Starla's body. "Rest, I'll come out, Miss."

Starla turned to look at Jeane, then said, "Thank you!"

Jeane simply nodded, then passed away leaving Starla to rest.

****

That afternoon, Skylar received a message from her best friend saying that something was being conveyed to her. So, Skylar rushed shortly after work and drove his car at a normal speed to meet his best friend.

After twenty minutes of travel, Skylar finally arrived at the usual place they met. A fine restaurant owned by his best friend's family.

"Then what are you gonna do to that girl?"

The man's distinctive heavy voice was heard after Skylar told him all his plans against Starla. Yes, a few of his friends did know the circumstances that befell his sister, although he did not know who the jerk who could make Gabriella to choose to end her own life. And his best friend also knows that Skylar intends to take revenge on the only family of the son of a bitch.

Actually Xander was not very supportive of Skylar's plan, but Skylar's determination was already round and difficult to remind again. Therefore, he only tried to understand and try to position himself if he was the one who was hit by the incident.

"Isn't that too much?"

Skylar's eyebrows shot high upon hearing the question. "Excessive?" Skylar chuckled lightly. "Not at all, Xander."

Skylar threw a glance out the large window, which featured a view of the open sea with the sun already beginning to immerse himself.

"You sure you're gonna do that?" ask Xander back.

Yeah, Skylar's best friend's name is Xander. They used to be business partners who both started from scratch, they both worked hard to achieve success as it is today. Xander also has a very large company and is quite successful at a young age. Not only their match in the business world, but those of the same age make them more suitable for friendship.

"You must know that, Xander. You've known me for a long time, haven't you? You know what happened to my sister? I guess without even having to answer your question you'd already know the real answer."

Xander persisted and still did not understand why Skylar had to vent to a weak woman. "But the girl was innocent," said Xander who made Skylar turn his sharp gaze back towards her. His eyebrows looked furiously wrinkled. However, the man did not take out a single sentence to respond.

"You don't realize that your treatment is too childish and unreasonable, Sky. How could you hurt an innocent weak woman?"

And this time, Skylar was no longer able to hold her tongue from answering. He took his seat and said, "You won't understand Gaby's suffering. That little sister has made my sister suffer in such a way. The girl even helped to hide her whereabouts when Gabriella held her account. And you say he's innocent?"

"But, isn't Gaby—"

"Stop! Stop talking about it, "cut Skylar quickly. He already knew what the continuation of the man's sentence was and he was completely unwilling to discuss it.

Xander. Instead of losing, it was just that he was really lazy to argue with Skylar. That guy is arrogant. Whatever he says, it will happen and it will prove. They have very often argued like this, want serious things or trivial problems. And Xander, who always raises his hand to give in, lets Skylar do whatever he wants to do. Maybe because this is also their friendship will last until now, because Xander will always give up.

Both were imprisoned in silence. After a long silence, Skylar reopened her voice, "I'll marry her."

Xander was stunned for a moment when he heard the statement from his best friend.

"Married?"

"Yes, Xander. I'll destroy everything that's on him, there'll be nothing left."

Xander let out a frustrated sigh when he heard the terrible threat. Really, that guy never saw Skylar this angry. Seen from the dark look on his face, Skylar seems to be really serious about destroying the poor girl.

Xander has never met a girl who has been the target of Skylar for several weeks. Skylar never told her who she was, so Xander didn't know it at all. However, the shadows of what his cruel friend would do, no doubt made him shudder in horror.

While on the other hand, the man who had just said the vow was completely unable to contain himself from grinning sharply. He could not wait for the moment of vengeance to come.

In a moment, his victorious smile would burst open after witnessing the suffering of the girl.
