My Devious Soul

The Truth

Author's POV:
"I know you're angry at me,but what he did is illegal."Elijah mentioned while driving,Yana closed her eyes and didn't want to believe him.

Forty-five minutes...
They arrived in the garage and Yana didn't even give Elijah the possibility to let him open the door for her.She did it herself and took the elevator first while Elijah didn't say anything.

"Give me the car key,please."Yana stunned him at the door right when Elijah entered the apartment,she was trying to be polite as possible.

"Come on,Yana.You're being ridiculous."Elijah replied calmly and started walking up the stairs.

But that answer didn't stop her.

"Please give me the car key,I want to go to the police station."Yana added stretching her right hand.

Elijah stopped,sighed and walked down since he was a few stairs ahead and grabbed her by the wrist dragging gently her hand down and uttered with a husky tone"No!"

Yana just watched him angrily.

"Be at least happy that he's at the police station and got not killed by me."Elijah mentioned and let her wrist go and continued his way to his office untying his tie.

Yana was furious and couldn't forgive Elijah in that moment.She walked in the bedroom and checked her phone when she sat down on the bed.It was past midnight.

She took her clothes off throwing them on the floor and got in the bed wearing only a black bra and thongs.Yana closed her eyes and tried to calm down.

After a few minutes,she heard Elijah's footsteps coming in the bedroom.He walked over to the closet and then in the bathroom before he got in bed next too her after a few more minutes.

She wasn't asleep,but didn't say anything.It was dark and quiet in the room,they only heard their breaths.

It was some distance between them and Yana felt a tension,but didn't say anything.

Elijah sighed and turned slowly around and stared at her back.He slowly tried to approached her wanting to put his arm around Yana.

"Not tonight!"She refused shrugging her right shoulder.

He distanced himself and laid on his back sighing,feeling that tension between them,too.

It was silence for a few moments.

"I know that...your heart can't accept the fact that he's a bad guy-"Elijah tried to explain,"He isn't!"Yana exclaimed interrupting him,but then he continued calmly"And I know that in your eyes he's still the same,but you have to understand."

Yana suddenly asked"What is in those boxes?"Elijah replied dryly"Drugs."

Silence stroke for a few moments.

Yana slowly turned around facing Elijah.

He stared at her with his calm gaze.

"How did you...find out...that it's him?"She asked still carefully.Elijah replied"I followed one of his men in the woods,I caught him and interrogated about the leader."

Yana just listened.

"I found a phone in his jacket pocket and tried to find his boss' number so I can locate his position and I successfully found it and it turned out that it was just near me."He added,"I killed him and returned back to the bridge when I saw Ian and in that moment,I knew that it could be him."Elijah mentioned.

He looked into Yana's eyes which started watering and so he placed his hand on her warm cheek gently and tried to hearten her up"Please don't cry,he doesn't deserve your tears."

But Yana bursted into tears even more and in that moment Elijah didn't hesitate and took her into his arms.

His silk pajama shirt got a bit wet from Yana's tears that she shedded.

A few moments passed and she calmed down.

She closed her eyes and stayed like that on Elijah's chest feeling his heart beat while Elijah carefully and softly played with his hand on Yana's soft hair.

He looked down at her remarking that she fell asleep,he smiled enjoying the view.
