The Prisoner of the Devils'

Childs

His emotions seemed to be toyed with when the young man's amazed gaze never turned away. His face darkened with breaths that began to suffocate the chest. Regan never felt this angry just because of a trivial matter. However, it seemed like the damn man had indeed crossed the line.

Skylar almost approached the man as the wife held herself back, which made her duck to stare at Starla's tense face. The woman shook her head slowly, hinting that she would not do anything in the crowd.

For a moment, Skylar let out a rough breath. Directed his gaze at the figure of the man who was still unaware of his anger, then returned to the face of the wife.

"We're leaving!"

Starla looked at Skylar with an astonished look. "Fruit—"

"Forget it!"

The man then pulls Starla's arm, forcing the woman to leave the place before her anger returns making her rage destroy whatever is around her.

****!

Twenty minutes after that, they finally arrived at the hospital. The figure of the woman who was lying half-sitting on the bed the patient frowned confusedly as she looked at the two lovebirds. They look awkward. Ah, naw. It seemed like only Starla was so, while Skylar looked ordinary with her calm, resolute face.

The awkwardness was clearly visible in Starla's facial rays. Not to mention his blue bead that looked hollow and empty. What was? Is there something going on between them?

The woman cleared a faint throat. He opened his voice after a long silence.

"So, how?"

The question that barely had an explanation made Skylar frown before replying. "What how is it?"

"Are you really a man?" Grace began to rise in a fully seated position with a completely unshifted gaze from Skylar's face. "Of course I asked about the baby. Did you guys never think of that?"

The obvious question made both of them stunned. Starla gulped roughly at her bitter-tasting saliva. I want him to laugh. Laughing at him who was expecting a baby. If only ...if his marriage to Skylar was based on love and sincerity, maybe now the baby is residing in his womb. But in reality, it didn't happen.

Had Grace known all of Skylar's plans, she couldn't have asked such a sensitive question. The question that made Starla's heart look like it was being sliced open. His eyes suddenly warmed. He blinked quickly, dispelling his tears that almost poked and embarrassed himself in front of Grace. Her breath feels tight. The woman lowered her face while linking her two trembling fingers, hoping that by doing so, she could strengthen her heart to stay afloat. At least, after leaving that place.

Next to him, Skylar looked calm as if nothing had happened. However, no one knew that within that calmness was also a tension that rained down the corner of his heart ferociously. His mind suddenly stifled. The man really did not know what answer to throw. I don't know why there was a foreign feeling that hit her when Grace told me the question. Is it because the woman mentioned a baby? Her baby? His kid? His own flesh?

It is undeniable that he also wanted a baby, his own flesh and blood. However, what if the offspring came from the womb of a woman who became his rival? The woman who had helped Arlan to destroy his sister's life. The woman who has been her personal toy all this time. Worth it?

The heavy breathing finally sounded. For a moment, he glanced at Starla through the corner of his eye before finally deciding to make a sound. Divert the gripping atmosphere by answering questions from the woman. However, that answer was immediately restrained as the door of the VIP room opened from the outside.

"Aunty?"

"Aunty, long time no see. I miss you, you know?" said the boy after taking off his embrace.

Starla nodded lightly. "I miss you too, Akala. Where have you been?"

"From park. You wanna see it? Mommy said you like parks too. I'll accompany you if you want, Aunty."

Really, Starla was unable to hold back her gel smile as she scanned the handsome boy's face. So cute and adorable with her chubby cheeks. Her blazing happy eyes were never sidetracked until she did not realize that Skylar had been watching her from the side of her face. The man had never seen his wife smile so sweetly and sincerely like this. Never at all since he decided to turn off the rays of happiness that exist in the woman's life.

"It doesn't seem necessary because I'll be home soon. It's starting at night and you're going to school tomorrow, aren't you?"

Akala nodded steadily in front of Starla's face. "May I visit you when the holidays come?"

Starla's smile grew even more glistened under Skylar's gaze who still let her blue bead look at the nod's face. And that is certainly unknown to the owner.

"of course. I'll wait for you then," Starla replied calmly even though she hesitated a bit when she said that. The woman doubted her life which was already on the edge of the horn. He could die at any time with Skylar, right?

****

After leaving the hospital, Skylar decided to have dinner at a fancy restaurant in the city center. As before, they passed through the activity with a blanketing silence. It is very common for them every day.

After a few minutes after dinner, they finally walked towards the parking lot when Skylar suddenly heard the cry of a woman who was no stranger to his sense of hearing.

"Ah, very happy."

The woman approached, approaching the two with calm steps. Her sensual beautiful face seemed to harden as the look in her eyes accidentally caught Skylar's hands muttering possessively the slender waist of his wife. For a moment, he slammed Starla with a piercing look before turning to Skylar's handsome face.

"You're having dinner with, Starla?" ask her in a trivial and condescending tone. However, there was no reply from Skylar. The man even returned his gaze no less sharp with his firm face that tightened ruthlessly.

"I really miss you, Skylar."

Starla, who was standing next to her husband, frowned in disgust when she saw the woman wrap her hands around her husband's neck. And what the woman did was to successfully burn Skylar's emotions. He took off his embrace on Starla and jerked the sexy woman's arm roughly which made the owner scream in shock.

"Gosh! You hurt me, Sky!"

"Listen, Ariana." Skylar emphasized his voice. He slashed the distance on the woman and stood right in front of her. "Don't force me to hurt you more than I just did!"

He finished the sentence in one breath that made Ariana scared. Skylar then moved from that place after his hand was stretched out again, grabbing the wife's hip. Leaving Ariana unmoved with a look of disbelief.

"Damn it!"
