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...
Author's POV: In the afternoon Arriving home not getting the information he wanted,Elijah didn't gave up so easily.
An idea popped up in his brilliant mind.
"Please find information about Zaire's lawyer,I want to have them by tomorrow morning."Elijah ordered politely phoning with Bruno."Of course,sir!"He replied and hung up.
The following day... Someone knocked on Elijah's office door.
"You may!"He allowed.
"Good morning sir,I came by to hand you the information about Zaire Bankole's lawyer."Bruno reminded him politely while handing a black file."Thank you!"Elijah nodded and Bruno left his office.
He started looking through the papers finding interesting information about Zaire's lawyer.
Elijah dialed a number.
A soft female voice responded"Righteous Law Firm,I'm Yana Claude,how may I help you?"
Elijah greeted respectfully"Hello,Ms.Claude."
It was silence for a few seconds until she asked politely"Who am I talking to?"
Elijah didn't even bother to hurry and reply.
"My name's Elijah Sinclair Creed.Alexander Leonte's adoptive son."He finally said.
A silence stroke for a moment.
"Yes?"She replied frightened,but Elijah immediately recognized her fear and spoke calmly showing her that she shouldn't be afraid"Since I'm a lawyer too,I know how it feels wanting to win a case,to be more specific a very important case since it depends you."
She didn't say anything until Elijah added biting his bottom lip"I might help you win it,but I need a favor from you,too."
An hour later... It was 01:30 pm when Elijah was sitting at a table in a café waiting for someone.

The doorbell rang when it was hit by the door.
A young beautiful woman with long brunette hair entered the place wearing an expensive black Yves Saint Laurent suit and a briefcase with the same color and brand.
Elijah immediately remarked her and thought to himself"There you are."
She looked around searching for someone not knowing how the person she spoke to looks like.
Her beautiful dark green eyes met Elijah's dark brown ones for a few seconds.
He smiled signaling that he's the one she has been looking for.
She gulped and tried to walk with confidence to him.
"Hi,are you Elijah Sinclair Creed?"She wanted to know asking politely."Right in front of you."He replied smiling and stood up stretching out his hand.
A small smile appeared on her face before she shook his hand.
"Please!"Elijah motioned respectfully inviting her to sit down.She smiled and sat down face to face with him.
"Would you like some coffee?"He asked politely."No,thank you,I'm fine."She responded friendly.
"My name is Elijah Sinclair Creed as you already know."He reminded her chuckling.
A chuckle came out of her mouth too and some dimples found place on her cheeks.
"You must be..."He wanted to start the sentence and let her finish it."Yana Claude."She completed his sentence proudly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you,Ms.Claude."Elijah admitted."The pleasure is mine."Yana admitted too.
"So...I actually invited you here to help you."He confessed finally."Help me?"Yana responded confusedly."Well helping Mr.Bankole getting out of prison and since you help him,I thought,I could help you too with some information about Alexander."Elijah revealed half of his plan.
"I don't really understand.Alexander was your adoptive father,why would you do something like that to him?"Yana wanted to know."Let's just say Mr.Bankole is involved in some of my family business."Elijah was honest and direct with her,Yana nodded understanding.
"Listen,I just want Zaire out of prison,because there are some family business that aren't done yet and he's my key,plus I have some information about my father too that might help you a lot."He explained the rest of the plan calmly.
A silence wave stroke between them,only the chatters from other people in the café were heard.
Both looked at each other waiting for the the other one to say something.
"I'll do it!"Yana accepted smiling Elijah's offer."But if you promise me that no one in your family is going to get hurt."Yana added raising her eyebrows."I'll try my best!"He promised solemnly,she nodded.
Elijah grabbed after his business card inside his left interior blazer pocket and he put his card on the table with two fingers pushed the card toward her.
"Just come by tomorrow at 02:00,so we can discuss the case."Elijah requested friendly."I will."Yana replied with an assuring smile.
Before both said goodbye and left,Elijah asked,if she needs a ride and she politely refused.
Elijah was driven back home where he prepared the papers he needed and spent the evening in his way.
