My Devious Soul

Wary

Yana's POV:
Three months passed since Emiru's death.

I remarked the first month was for Elijah a hard time getting over his mother's death,but it was the first and last time I saw him smoking.

I was always by his side to comfort him and showed all my love.But one thing left me shocked when I found some photos in his office and a jewelry box.

It was a normal Wednesday morning,Elijah went showering while I was phoning with my mother in the kitchen and preparing breakfast.

"You have an idea what you're going to do on your birthday?"My mom asked curiously."Not really...I'll have to talk with Elijah,maybe he organized something special for us like he always does or we'll just hold a party here."I responded not being so sure."Alright,but please keep me informed."My mom requested.

We hung up and I remembered that I forgot to fill a form out.

I walked to the bathroom door where I knocked at and called Elijah's name loud since the water was running,"Where did you put that form for Mr.Jacobs' case?"I wanted to know."I think,it's in my office on the desk."Elijah responded from the bathroom.

I left and walked in his office were it was all dark.I turned on the light and found everything as I always do when I enter it,tied,clean and sorted.

I walked over to his desk,but there was no file or form on it.

I looked down at the drawers thinking that it might be there.

I was about to open one,but then I thought,if I should go through his stuff or not,but eventually I decided just to go through the drawers quick and if I don't find the red file,then I just leave it to him.

I opened the first drawer where my eyes spotted just some pens,white paper sheets and a box full of pins,all of that organized perfectly.I closed it and moved to the next one where I found all his car and motorcycle keys.I sighed closing it and then I opened the last one.

I thought I found the form,but when I opened the file,I found completely something else.

Inside of the file were a few pictures of death people and in most of those pictures appeared also Elijah.

All the pictures looked like an entire bloody mess!

I knew what Elijah's job demands and I knew he wasn't an angel,but why would he hide these picture in his office?Is someone blackmailing or threatening him?

I was about to put it back when I found a small Tiffany & Co. box.I placed the file on the floor next to me and took a quick glance at the door and saw that he wasn't coming.

I grabbed gently after the box and as I opened it,my eyes sparkled seeing a beautiful diamond ring.

"Yana?"I heard him calling my name in the distance.I closed the box and put it back and so I did with the file.I stood up fast and walked out of his office.

"Did you find the file?"He asked coming toward me with a white towel around his torso showing his perfect V line."No!"I answered being all nervous even though I tried no to be.

"Are you alright?"He asked raising an eyebrow while standing in front of me."Everything's fine."I replied with a smile,he smiled back and gently raised my chin with only his index finger's knuckle so that our lips would only be a few inches apart and our eyes narrowed at each other.

"I love you!"He whispered watching me in the eyes and then kissed me softly even though it felt more passionated as if he does not want to lose me.

I wrapped my left arm around his neck while my right hand found place on his naked warm chest,his body was all warm.He put his hands on my cheeks and we continued kissing for a few more moments.

"Let's have breakfast."I suggested through the kisses."We already do."He replied kissing me passionately.He raised me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

He carried me to the bedroom where our "breakfast" continued for fifteen more minutes and then we had had the real one before we headed to work.

But the thought of those pictures created many questions in my head while I was working.

"Is he being blackmailed?"I thought looking him while he was working in front of me,"Is he going to show me these pictures one day?"

Even though I knew I can trust him,my guts told me that something was off.I mean,if he wouldn't feel threatened,he would throw the pictures away.

And what is with that jewelry box?Is he going to propose me on my upcoming birthday?

Two days later...
Just when I woke up,my eyes spotted a huge bouquet of red roses on my nightstand.I smiled admiring it while trying to sit down on the bed.I took the roses on my laps.

"Do you like it?"I heard Elijah's voice saying,I looked up and spotted Elijah standing in the doorframe with a joyful smile and crossed arms."I love it!"I replied back happily.

He walked over to me and sat down on the bed edge.He gave me a kiss on the lips before he took me into his arms and wishing a happy birthday.

"Well you're being a bit early.You have to wait until midnight."I remarked laughing.Elijah laughed too and replied"So what?It's like it is your birthday today since we'll have dinner with you're parents tonight and it'll last until 01:00 am."

"You're right."I mumbled still admiring the roses.

"Why don't we have breakfast?"He suggested after a few more moments.I smirked looking at me and replied"Like we had three days ago?"

He chuckled and responded"If you want to?"

I raised my eyebrows before I smashed my lips on his.He held me by my neck not wanting to let me go.

I stopped kissing and looked him in the eyes while his right hand was still on my neck.

"Now let's have some actual breakfast."I said.

He smirked and nodded and we walked in the dining room where the entire table was full with delicious and good-looking food.

We sat down and had a beautiful breakfast together.

"So what do you want to do today?"Elijah questioned raising his orange juice glass to his mouth,I shrugged while chewing and then suggested,if we could go out and so we spent the day in the mall until the evening was about to come.
