My Devious Soul

Trust

Elijah's POV:
Before entering my apartment,I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to fix my mind.

The door got opened by the security system and as I entered the apartment,all the lights were on.

I made a few steps until I reached the living room where someone was waiting for me sitting on the couch.

It was Yana.

At first she didn't look scared at all,mostly disappointed.

Next to her stood Bruno and who immediately bowed as soon as I walked in.

"Thank you for you service tonight!You can call it a night."I announced him with a calm voice.He nodded and left.

As soon as,I heard to door getting closed,I asked watching Yana in the eyes"Are you alright?"

She stood up taking a deep breath while crossing her arms and approaching me.

"Why did you lie to me?"She really wanted to know being very serious and showed no fear.

"I'm so sorry!"I apologized sincerely feeling the guilt on my shoulders."Why did you lie to me?"Yana asked again."It's a long story."I mentioned avoiding to talk.

"I have time."She claimed giving me a sharp look.

I sighed,"Can I trust you?"I wanted to know at first."I don't know,can I trust you?"Yana uttered crossing her arms.

She was right.

I sighed again and started to tell"My adoptive father Alexander got killed by his son Ezekiel."Yana's eyes were calmed and she thoughtfully nodded.

"After Alexander's funeral,I have started investigating his past and found out he worked with Zaire.I tried to get in contact with him,but he refused.Then I've found out that you were his lawyer and thought,if I could help you with the case,maybe he'd help me."I kept explaining.

"Then you must remember when we got attacked in that restaurant."I mentioned,Yana nodded.

"One of the attacker was still alive and I interrogated him thinking that he was sent by my adoptive brother,but he wasn't."I added to my telling.

"Hugo who was Alexander's cousin,was the one who sent him.I had to find a way to get to that event,but I needed a partner."I explained.

"And why was Hugo covered in blood?"Yana wanted to know."That blood was the blood from the attackers,his men.I had to find a way to distract everyone in order to catching Hugo."I answered her question sincerely.

"You...used...their blood?"Yana questioned with a trembling voice and I nodded.

"Don't tell me you-"I knew exactly what she wanted to say,so I interrupted her by ending her sentence"Killed Hugo?Yes,I did.I always revenge myself whenever I consider someone a danger."

Yana was a complete shock and didn't say a word for a few moments.

She returned back to earth by shaking her head and sighed before saying"I want to believe,but I just can't."She turned around and sat down on the couch.

"I mean,I had trust in you,but you just ruined it."Yana added disappointed looking up at me,I nodded understanding.

"I just can't believe you're in the mafia and I can't imagine you like a bad guy."Yana maintained placing her face in her palms."I am not a bad guy,I'm just devious."I admitted sitting down on a sofa chair in front of her and crossed my arms.

A long silence stroke in the room.

"Are you scared of me?"I wanted to know looking at her.Yana slowly raised her face from her palms.
