Pure Perfection

JULIANA'S POV

"This way" said the man as we entered the big house.

It had been about half an hour since Tyberias received the text. We had informed his family and Aria and Leona bursted into tears.

Tyberias' dad was furious when he found out and demanded that he wanted 50 men to attack the place where his son was being held hostage. Aria, being the more reasonable one, said it would be a bad idea because they could retaliate and kill Adrian.

So me and Tyberias left Estella at Leona's place to play with Luca and drove over to the place. I tried to call him down on the journey but it was no use.

The man walked us over to what looked like a metal detector and told us to walk through. Tyberias went first and the machine beeped like crazy. Hesitantly, he removed the gun that was tucked into his pants and walked through it again, and no beeps were heard.

It was my turn to walk through and I confidently did so, knowing I didn't have a gun on me. I was surprised to say the least, when the machine beeped for me. I frowned, not knowing what it was that was causing it to beep as I wasn't wearing any jewellery today.

The man held a small, rectangular metal detector in his hand and moved it around my body to see where it was coming from. I pulled away, slightly offended that it started beeping at my breasts.

I mentally facepalmed. I forgot about the pocket knife I had tucked into there. I took it off and the beeps stopped.

The man led us to a big office where he knocked 3 times.

"Mr Ivanov, they're here."

"Let them in." Said a deep voice and we entered the room.

"Aleksei." Tyberias said, shocked that one of his business partners has turned against him. As far as I could remember, Aleksei Ivanov was in charge of the Russian Mafia. He had been allies with Tyberias for years, which is why his betrayal came as even more of a shock.

And then something clicked in my brain. It was him, Aleksei. The man who approached my parents and told them to kidnap me. He must've been planning this throughout the past year.

"Take a seat" Aleksei said and nodded to the two chairs in front of his desk.

In one months time, Tyberias, you will marry Mila and join our families as one. In return, I will let Adrian live. I must also add that when you both get married, I expect you to be fully faithful to each other." Aleksei said, looking between the
