The devious life of the mafia consigliere Elijah Sinclair Creed is complex.The twenty-seven years old lives in world where he is the only one who can win.Creed's calm temperament is chained in a devious and secretive behavior.With his strategic mind...
Elijah's POV: A month passed since Ezekiel's attack and I decided for myself to work from home.I was busy dealing with the family's business and I finished some uncompleted tasks.
The first month was a hard time for me to realize how much I actually miss Alexander and I was angry,very angry,no furious...very furious seeing Ezekiel destroying the empire that Alexander built for over 30 years.
All this fury and sadness drove me insane in the first month.There were nights where insomnia hit me harder than ever.
Elijah's flashbacks I laid down on my bed in the middle of night trying to sleep,but something kept me away.I stood up and walked through the dark bedroom to the bathroom which belongs to my bedroom focusing on a purpose and that purpose was to reach the bathroom mirror.

I turned on the light which made my face grumping and blended me for a few seconds.I walked bare feet on the cold bathroom floor.I made two more steps until I was next to the mirror,I turned around to see my reflection in it.I placed my left hand on the left side of the sink and the right hand on the right side.
Slowly moved my head full of thoughts down,I squeezed the edges of the sink hard and closed my eyes.
I tried to breathe with calmness,but my breaths became heavier with every breath I took.I wanted to take an object and throw it somewhere,I wanted to escape the fury by breaking something,by screaming,because I was not being myself,but I failed.
I raised my heavy head full of thoughts facing directly the mirror.I looked in it like I'd look in nothingness,I was a completely different person,I didn't recognize myself at all.All I could see my own tired eyes shouting for help which I couldn't give.
I started to look more and more intensely and I could swear I saw Alexander in the mirror,just like I know him.I gasped stepping back being all startled.
I breathed heavily!
My hands were sweating and my forehead too,a wave of coldness entered in my sweaty body.I closed my eyes and shook my head trying to make myself clear that I didn't see Alexander in the mirror.
I walked back in the bedroom starting to feel dizzy.I never felt like this before.Knowing that I should stop the dizziness,I walked back in the bathroom to the cabinet where I have all my medicines.I popped two pills of Dramamine and drank them with some water from the bathroom sink.
I went back in the bedroom and laid down on my bed.I kept my eyes shut tight breathing in a balanced rhythm.
After ten minutes I started to feel better and tried to sleep.
