My Devious Soul

Pact

Author's POV:
"Where are we going?" "Where do you take me?" "What do you want from me?"Those were Miriam's questions which didn't get a concrete response until they arrived at their destination,an abandoned hall where other Elijah's men were waiting.

They tied her up on a chair and the integration which was led by Sasha at first started.

"Do you know where Ezekiel is?"She first asked seriously."Why do you care?"Miriam responded not minding Sasha's question.

"I asked you something,where is Ezekiel?"Sasha asked again showing that she can be strict.

Miriam didn't answer first,but when she received a splash of water in her face from Sasha.

"Are you crazy?"Miriam asked angrily.Sasha shrugged with smirk holding the empty bottle of water.

She asked the same question and Miriam replied annoyed"He's out of the city."

Elijah asked with a frown"Where exactly?"Miriam explained"He told me that he will be on a business trip for a few weeks in Frankfurt."

Sasha watched Elijah who just stood there staring into nothingness.

"Do you know when he's going to return back?"Elijah asked friendly."He said,he'll be back a day before an important event where we are invited to."Miriam revealed honestly and annoyed.

Elijah widened his eyes and mumbled"MG."

Sasha and Miriam's gaze moved to Elijah who looked back at Sasha and said"MG,Mafia Gathering."

In that moment an idea popped into Elijah's mind.

The idea of capturing Ezekiel at the event.

"Alright,this is how it's going to be."Elijah announced out loud."I will need you to help capturing Ezekiel."He maintained."What if don't want to?"Miriam asked curiously.Elijah chuckled and walked toward her with his hands in his pockets.

"You have chosen to be an attorney in order to serve right justice,am I wrong?"Elijah asked suddenly and tiled his head to the left,Miriam just narrowed her eyes to him.

"Well would you serve that justice to Ezekiel,if you would know he tried to kill?"Elijah asked curiously.

Miriam was mute and her eyes widened.

"He would never do that!"She took his side confidently after a few seconds.

"Then you must not know him well enough."Elijah maintained with a smirk.He raised his head and looked at Jaques who nodded and walked to him.

He handed Elijah a black folder and he took out a set of pictures with which he was trying to open Miriam's eyes.

The pictures showed Ezekiel at different crime scenes and his victims.

"She's a seventeen-year old girl that he impregnant when he was twenty...Ezekiel bribing the cops when they caught him high...the family he has killed,because they hurt his ego."Elijah mentioned each picture with a causal voice.

Miriam was mute because of the shocks she was receiving when Elijah was showing him the pictures one by one.

"So as you see,Ezekiel isn't an angel."Elijah mentioned after a few moments and handed Jaques the pictures back.

"And neither are you."Miriam said to him with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean,you are the reason why his father is dead even though he adopted you and gave you the chance to a better life."Miriam started being reproachful even though she got it all wrong.

Elijah scoffed"Un tel laveur de cerveau!"And approached Miriam even more and dropped his hands on the arms of the chair startling Miriam.

Their faces were only a few inches apart,Elijah's watched Miriam directly in the eyes making her heart race.

He leaned on approaching her right ear where he whispered with a husky voice"If Ezekiel would have loved his father just like he told you,he wouldn't kill him no matter how much he hates me!"

He slowly distance himself from her and as their eyes met,he remarked the shock in hers.

"So...are you going to serve the justice he deserves?"Elijah asked after a few moments.

Miriam sighed deeply and replied confidently"I'll do it!"

Elijah smiled thankfully and moved his gaze to Sasha who gave him a satisfied smile.
