The Prisoner of the Devils'

Cruelty

Starla was helping one of the special guesthouses cook at the residence when the bell rang out, making her look back at the other hostesses who did not seem much different from her age.

"Madam, it looks like it ...."

The guesthouse looked uneasy, afraid that the one who had just rang the bell was Skylar. Starla who understood the unrest only gave a faint smile before nodding lightly.

"Alright," he muttered and placed the fruit knife he held onto the pantry table with a heavy heart.

Skylar does not allow him to work in the kitchen or anywhere, no matter what reason Starla does not understand. However, he assumes that Skylar allows him to work only for the man. On the bed, of course.

Of course, Skylar must have been injured or made his body blisters that made the imperfections seem if the man re-claimed himself. Yeah, that's the reason the guy is of course.

The man had always returned sooner since Starla tried to escape the house, and at the time she almost died after being kidnapped by the hitman. But, when his shady eyes turned on the wall clock that showed four o'clock less, making him frown in wonder. It's not time for the depraved man to come home. Anyway ... Skylar couldn't possibly ring the bell just for wanting to enter his own residence. It's very strange, isn't it?

Starla steps into the living room to kill her curiosity about the guest ringing the bell. However, Starla was so shocked when she accidentally heard a voice that was not unfamiliar to her.

"Mrs. Xander?" his voice was a little surprised with a frown confused.

Starla did not expect the man she was meeting this afternoon to be Xander, her previous boss at work, just before being forced to stop by Skylar.

Xander stepped wide and immediately grabbed the tiny body for a moment, then took it off again and looked anxiously at Starla's face.

"You okay?"

Starla sees Xander, who has been researching her entire body.

"What's up, Mr. Xander?" asked the woman in surprise after nodding steadily.

"Starla, listen to me ...." Xander cupped the two cheeks of the woman without relieving any anxiety on her face.

"I'm Skylar's best friend. Know it? All this time I searched for you everywhere, but I did not find you. I even just found out that .. that you're Skylar's wife."

"Mrs. Xander —"

"I know why Skylar married you. I know everything Skylar did to you, Starla. And .. and I will help you get out of this place. Youunderstand?"

There was nothing in Xander's mind other than saving Starla from the demon man. Xander really did not want to see the woman suffer because of Skylar's treatment. Moreover, he would not allow Skylar or his enemies to kill Starla.

He looked at Starla full of anxiety, watching her line of face that was no longer as bright as it used to be. There was no sweet smile, only emptiness. Even when he found the girl for the first time after months of disappearing, the smile seemed to sink and change with a face of fear.

Starla nodded quickly with her teary eyes, enduring the fear that struck her. He was afraid that Skylar would find Xander here, and that Skylar would kill him. "Yes, I get it. But, a—I'm afraid .. I'm afraid if the man finds me. He'll be pissed and kill you when he finds out, you're the one who got me out of here."

Moreover, given the incident of the kidnapping, Skylar would definitely not be responsible for killing Xander brutally just like how he killed the psychopath cruelly.

Starla did not have time to answer, the woman suddenly felt someone pulling her violently, then screamed loudly when her gaze caught Skylar who hit Xander's face hard until the man bounced off to the floor.

"Damn it! Keep your hands off my wife's body!"

Xander got up and hit Skylar in the face. Making Starla who was standing not far away from them and again let out a startled screech from her lips.

"You're a traitor, Skylar!"

Again. Xander attacked again. Then he deftly pulls Starla into his arms, protecting the woman from Skylar's rampage. However, Xander's treatment really makes Skylar more and more black. Unable to hold back, he pulls Starla back, distancing her before brutally attacking Xander again. Very-very brutal.

"I told you, keep your hands off my wife's body! Don't you understand?"

Starla screamed stifled while covering her mouth with both hands. Her tears welled up when she saw Xander who seemed to no longer be able to move under her husband's rule. Skylar actually hit the man inhumanely.

"H—stop!"

He circulates the view, looking for the whereabouts of Andreas, but none. He only saw two workers not far from them. Those workers can't possibly do anything about it, they're just weak women just like her.

"Skylar, please stop!"

Knowing that Skylar would not stop, he ventured out, trying to get close and pull Skylar's arm with his small hand shaking violently.

"Sky .. You can kill him. Stop that!"

Skylar who heard the shrillness of the request immediately stopped his action. He turned his head, looking at Starla's pale face with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Why?" His breath turned breathless. "You're afraid he's dead?"

"No. Not like that ...." Starla shook her head quickly which made those tears drip down her cheeks.

Skylar growled furiously. He told the workers to go home and called Andreas to bring the man who had been lying helpless on the floor. Whether the man was still breathing or not, he did not care. In his mind just wanted to teach a lesson to the stubborn man who was crying as he pleased in the corner of the room.

After making sure the room was quiet, Skylar approached and slapped Starla on the cheek until she fell to the floor. Starla screamed loudly when she felt her hair being pulled violently by Skylar, forcing her to stand up and obey her orders. His outstretched hand tried to hold his own hair to relieve some of the pain, but could not. Skylar's pull is too strong, even he thinks that soon his scalp will be released.

"You want to die? Tired of living, huh?" Skylar growled furiously. "What did you do, ******?"

I don't know what made Skylar angry. The man really did not know not even understand why suddenly his emotions burst just because he saw Xander who was hugging his prostitute wife. And he got even more angry when the damn woman told him to stop beating Xander. Starla seems unwilling if anything happens to that jerk.

Goddamnit!
