The Prisoner of the Devils'

Anger

A jolt of pain in her head made Starla wake up from her sleep. Not only that, he also got a shock that made his heart pound. His drowsiness thinned when he found Skylar standing looking at him without showing any expression, while his hand wrestled with a tie that was a complement to his black work shirt this morning.

He chose to switch his eyes when Skylar's gaze never ended. The crazy man always managed to make him feel agitated because the look of his eyes were like sharp objects that could stab him at any time. With a bitter feeling, Starla moved slowly to take a sitting position, and at that moment she stiffened as the tip of her eye caught Skylar's movement. His heart hit hard and he was wary of anything the man would do to him.

Starla thought, Skylar will move closer and hit her suddenly just like the man used to do to her. However, what just flashed in his mind turned out to be nothing at all. The devil stepped silently towards the door, past the bed where he sat stiffly and frozen, then walked out without a word.

The woman let go of her breath that had been choked after the door of the room was closed again. Really relieved. Skylar didn't attack him today. He even fell asleep overnight, without even waking up to serve the man's depraved lust. What's up and why? It seemed that Starla did not care about any answer to that question. He doesn't want to find out why. Starla instead hopes that Skylar is tired of her body, then looks for another woman who is more powerful to achieve her satisfaction, so she ... he was able to break free and protect his own life from the man's vengeful circle. Yeah, I hope so.

"Mrs. The wolves?"

Starla turned to the door as Jeane called out the name and she saw the woman calmly approaching the bed with a genuine smile that never escaped her face.

"Mr Skylar is waiting for you for breakfast."

"Ah, yes ... I take a shower first," Starla replied which made the maid nod politely.

"Let me help, Mrs," Jeane pleaded.

Starla shook her head slowly. "No need, I can do it myself. You can continue your other work, Jeane."

Jeane nodded once more, accompanied by a thin, sincere smile that revealed fine wrinkles in both corners of her eyes.

"Good, Mrs. Wolves."

****

Ariana often times spared when someone has managed to deceive her. No matter how small a problem, he would never accept a lie. And this time, someone had done that ridiculous thing to him. He felt impressed by Gavino's cooperation.

That damn guy seems to be using himself for personal gain. Making it as a deceitful tool that actually shames his pride in front of the haughty and heartless man at all. Oh, of course he's angry. Angry at all those who have been playing tricks on him. Use it in all its subtle ways. Goddamnit! He will never forgive Gavino.

And Gavino has to take responsibility for everything, the man has to pay for daring to deceive him. So, here he is now, to kill that damn guy.

The woman stepped wide towards the place where Gavino's office was located. To hell with those employees who looked at her hard face through their strange gazes. His mind just wanted to get there immediately, and then vent all the anger that flashed in his heart.

The rage burned when his eyes fell on Gavino, who was talking to a man who knew who. Still in the power of the emotion that struck, Ariana's footsteps increasingly agile approaching Gavino who was still not aware of his presence, then with all his strength he hit the man's arm with his caramel handbag.

The man hissed furiously. "You—"

"Why?"

Ariana's voice was no less jarring than Gavino. For God's sake! He was really angry this time. He no longer cares about the employees who witnessed his embarrassing actions. He was even eager to throw his knee-length boots into Gavino's face if it could be easily freed from his beautiful legs.

"You angry? Is that embarrassing? You don't like me embarrassing you? You deserve to be treated like that, asshole! Even more than this!"

The woman was about to swing her bag once more, but Gavino's movements were certainly much faster than hers when the man firmly blocked her hand before smothering and pulling her into the elevator. The man pressed a button that led them to the floor where his office was located. Truly a shameless cheap woman! This damn woman has already smeared her face in front of her own employees.

"What do you do, ******?" gavino asked an angry man after putting Ariana as hard as possible into his private room.

The woman looked at the face of the bastard was no less angry. For a moment, he fixed his gray Jumper dress that had been torn by Gavino's treatment and then raised his chin high again.

"I'll kill you, Gavin! Know it? I don't like it when someone tries to trick me. And you did that! You're damned!" it was right in front of Gavino's face.

"Whatchu mean? I tricked you into what? Don't force my hand to strangle your neck. Tell me!"

Ariana poked her index finger into Gavino's chest and slightly pushed it. "Look! I won't be working with you anymore! You're a fucking con man who only uses me for your sake and your ambitions. You've said many times that Skylar does want me and not just because he uses me. But what do I get? She rejected me without a heart, Gavin. I know you used me as bait just to destroy Skylar. And you're saying that we'll both benefit? You're sneaky!"

Gavino's slight rarity was heard after Ariana finished the sentence. The man took himself to his office chair. "You sure you don't want to work with me anymore? You give up too easily, Ari."

"Will no more! I can get Skylar my own way."

Gavino nodded with a sly smile that adorned his face.

"You don't remember who you are? Skylar can't possibly like a dirty woman like you, Ariana. Don't expect too much" he said, sarcasm that made Ariana look perfect.

"No! Skylar loves me, and I'm sure of it."

"love you? Loving*****like you? Isn't that wrong?" Gavino got up from his seat before stepping over to Ariana who was standing stiff in the middle of the room. "Do I have to tell you that Skylar was never once captivated by women? Never mind a woman, she never even thought of a girl. Girl, Ariana. How can you be so sure that Skylar puts his heart on a woman like you?"

Really am! Gavino's words really touched Ariana's heart and feelings.
