The Prisoner of the Devils'

Cooperate

"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?"

Ariana tried to refrain from raising her little fist on that perfect face. For a moment, he fell silent as his mind suddenly floated at the moment where it first met Skylar. A bar where he works, a nightclub owned by the man. They are indeed acquainted just like that, without touch and flirt, especially intercourse.

Seduce and seduce men, Ariana including women are proficient in such small things. However, for some reason Skylar had never fallen into his circle of disdain. The man always rejects his shrewd self about something related to the satisfaction of the desire of men. Makes Ariana think that the man is an abnormal man, does not have more desire for a woman. Homosexuals. Yes, at that time Ariana thought Skylar was gay, same-sex.

Later, the man offered a job. That is observing a woman, in return they will spend one night together. Of course Ariana did not reject that, and accepted it when she was only used at that time. And because of the one night they spent, it caused a feeling of love for the untouchable man.

"T—of course! We spent the night together. You're wrong to think our relationship has gone too far. And it signifies that she's also in love with me" she said confidently.

Gavino chuckled with both hands slipping behind the pocket of his black work pants, while his gaze was not at all diverted from Ariana's pretty face. "You're overconfident, Ari. You're just being used and you consider it love? Very amusing. But you take it easy, I can help you, dear Ariana."

"Stop calling me that. You're repulsive. Fuck your rotten excuses. I can get whatever I want without your help, Gavin," Ariana's sergeant before turning around, was about to leave Gavino from the room when the man made a sound that made his step stop instantly.

"It's a pity that you don't seem to know the truth."

Ariana looked at the man with the same frown. "What do you mean?"

"I'm right, aren't I? There's one important thing you don't know." The man shakes his head before continuing. "Skylar .. the man you love is apparently a cunning bastard who is trying to destroy an innocent and sweet girl."

The hanging sentence made Ariana's head even more heated. "Just tell me, damn it! Don't buy me time just to hear that shit!"

Gavino's vicious smile returned. "You know the woman who's Skylar's wife now? He was a younger brother of a man who had driven his younger sister crazy and died by suicide. And you must have guessed why Skylar was rumored to have suddenly married. The man you love married that woman out of revenge. He wanted to hurt the woman, crush her body to nothing, just like what his brother did to his own beloved sister."

Ariana was stunned in front of Gavino. The news that he just heard was really surprising, from the beginning Skylar did not tell him why to use him and he did not ask much questions. But apparently, the truth is really surprising.

"You understand what I mean, don't you? You can get Skylar easily. Get rid of that worthless woman, maybe? Or do you have other plans now? I can help you, Ariana."

A vendetta? Not because of love? Skylar married only because of his sister's revenge? Gavino's explanation doesn't really make his brain work. He did not know how detailed the incident was, and would never want to find out even though his mind kept wondering. However, he understood, very understanding with the direction this man spoke. He could easily take Skylar's attention and heart by eliminating the woman. Of course Skylar will look at him with a look of admiration for having helped him.

He looked into Gavino's eyes fixedly, looking for lies within. But there is no. The man was really serious with the sentence he just said. And that suspicious gaze was of course clearly read by Gavino's sense of sight.

Gavino's eyebrows shot high. "You don't believe it? I can prove it all if you side with me one more time, Ari. You won't regret it."

The woman swore in her heart that she had never done any harm to anyone. She is a comfort woman who does a lot of work and is not educated, but she always avoids committing a crime that can endanger others. However, for this time, he dismissed all of those stances. For the sake of one name, in order to gain the heart of a dear man, he decided to do everything he had avoided all along. Just for this time.

"Mrs. The wolves?"

Slightly gasping, Starla turned her head and found Andreas who was standing not far behind her back.

"Have you been there long?" His melodious and soft voice made the man's smile engraved while shaking quietly.

"Just now," Andreas replied then stepped up and took a position next to Starla. "You don't feel cold?"

"It's cold. I think my body's immune to feeling anything worse." Starla chuckled at her own answer.

The woman was indeed just wearing an ordinary house dress, without arms and only limited to the knees. Starla certainly knew such clothes were completely unsuitable for long standing outside the balcony, while the winter wind continued to pierce her tiny body, even piercing into her inner bones. However, it was no big deal, his skin was already insensitive to any touch it seemed. He is numb.

"I thought you were with her" continued the woman again.

"I've been ordered to keep an eye on you from now on" Andreas said.

"For what?"

Starla sighed softly and cast her gaze towards the garden below after realizing Andreas had given no answer to her question. Of course Skylar ordered this man to watch over him so as not to run away, for the madman would not be able to let go of him before he was brutally crushed and died horribly in his hands.

"Don't think like that" Andreas said as if guessing what Starla was thinking right now. "Mr Skylar sent me to take good care of you. He didn't want the last night and night kidnapping to happen again."

Starla's lips formed a thin arch when she heard the sweet and slurred speech. Sounds silly to him.

"You don't want to go down there?"

"no need. Just look at it from here."
