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...
Yana's POV: I woke up on Elijah's arm and I gave him a soft look admiring him sleeping peacefully.After a few seconds,I remembered that Ms.Takahashi is gone which made my heart ache.
I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep,but I felt a hand on my cheek and when I opened my eyes I saw Elijah with sleepy open eyes.
I smiled and he smiled back.I got more near him and he wrapped his arms around me.
No one of us said something for a while until I asked him curiously"Is it possible to see her just one more time?"
He replied positive.
We drove in the noontime in the hospital morgue where I saw her laying on a metal bed covered with a long white sheet,Elijah squeezed my hand softly when he saw her.
"Mr.Creed,we'd like to know what is going to happen to your mother?Is she going to get buried or would you like to have a cremation?"A staff member asked Elijah,he looked at me as if I'd have the choice.
"Funeral?"I proposed with a low voice and he said the same to the staff member.
And within two days,Emiru's funeral took place in Woodlawn Cemetery at 04:00 pm.
She was dressed in the dress that we gave her as a gift and had some beautiful white moccasins on,her hair was arranged and her soulless hands were on her breast.
The grave was beautifully decorated with a photo of her engraved in the black grave stone and with a photo of us three that we took together at the hospital's event and white roses.
My eyes followed the black coffin that was being lowered into the ground.Elijah stood stiff and tense next to me with his arm wrapped around me.
A few friends of Emiru from the hospital she was hospitalized,Sasha,Bruno,Ariyon,Rachel and Brian,Mrs.Jonas and my parents attended the funeral.
Silence stroke for ten long minutes and as I threw a glance to my parents,my mother nodded and gave me an assuring smile that everything will be fine.
"We wish you sincere condolences!"Wished the lady that we met at the event in the name of other five women before they left.
The others did the same,but gave us a hug too.
At the end were only Bruno,Elijah and I.
Elijah gently let go of my hand and made a few steps in front.I turned my head to Bruno who just stood there emotionless with his hands behind.
Suddenly I felt a cold drop on my forehead,I looked up at the sky which was all grey and raindrops were falling one by one until it started pouring,but Bruno made in time and opened an umbrella holding it.
"Thank you!"I said in a low voice with a smile,he nodded smiling."Mr.Creed!"Bruno called Elijah with a politely tone,but now answer came,he didn't even turn around.
We stayed in the rain for five mores minutes until I started shivering a bit since I was wearing a black dress even though it was July.
