Pure Perfection

JULIANA'S POV

Our first day at the hotel went by quickly and Estella had quickly warmed up to the idea when I mentioned the around-the-world buffet downstairs.

It was now the second day and I was just about to take Estella downstairs to the swimming pool where I would teach her to swim but I couldn't seem to find one of my small bags anywhere.

The hotel phone in our room began to ring and I quickly picked it up.

"Hi, Miss Hernandez, there's a man here claiming you left you bag in his car. He's asking for your room number, would you like me to give it to him?" I recognised the voice as the receptionist.

That must be Louis. I must've forgotten my bag with him.

"Yeh, let him up." I replied.

I ended the call and waited for the knock that indicated that Louis was here with my bag.

A couple minutes later, I heard two knocks on the door. I got up to open the door for him.

"Hi, Louis" I smiled as I saw him standing outside.

"Hi, Juliana. I was just dropping this off." He said and held up the bag in his hands.

"Thank you" I said as I reached for the bag.

He quickly pulled the bag away, just before I was about to take it.

"Can I have my bag?" I frowned.

"How about you let me take you out in return for bringing to all the way here" he smirked and I instantly felt uncomfortable.

"Just give me my bag back" I said more assertively this time.

"All you have to do is go to dinner with me. I'll even pay."

I flinched when I felt his hand move to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. He smiled sinisterly at my reaction.

"How about you give the lady her bag back." A deep voice said from behind him and my heart began to beat faster.

"Tyberias?" I asked when I saw him come into my view.

"L-Listen dude, why don't you go back to what you were doing before and mind your own business." Louis said, clearly intimidated my Tyberias' massive frame.

Louis, only being about 5"9 was tiny compared to Tyberias' 6"4.

"I'm not going to tell you again, give her the bag and leave." Tyberias said, taking a step closer, making Louis take a step back and bump into the wall behind him.

"Take it, bitch" he said to me and chucked the bag and my stomach, making it fall on the floor and the contents spilling.

"I told you to give it to her, not chuck it. Now get on the floor, pick every thing up, and hand her the bag gently."

Louis gulped and slowly bent down and shoved everything back in my bag, before handing it to me.

"Now apologise for calling her a bitch"

"I'm... sorry for calling you a bitch" Louis said.

"Now get lost" Tyberias said. Louis didn't have to be told twice, he sprinted down the hallway away from us. I heard him mumble 'no good pussy is worth getting my ass beat'.

"What- What are you doing here" I asked turning to Tyberias, still shocked by his presence.

"I missed you baby" he said, ignoring my question and wrapping his arms around me.

As much as I tried to resist, I couldn't help wrapping my arms around his torso and sighing in relief. I missed this so much.

A minute passed of him squeezing my tightly and stroking my hair. He pulled back and was about to place his lips on mine but I hesitantly pulled away.

"Your married. We can't"

He sighed before speaking. "I'm not married" he stated and showed my his ring finger to see it was ring-less.

"Why- How. What about Adrian?" I stuttered.

Flashback (3rd person) - Day of the wedding

Tyberias woke up to find his bed empty and the shower turned on. He quickly realised that Juliana was in the shower.

He was about to go in there and join her, but a text message halted his actions.

Mila- I need to tell you something important, meet me at Rickey's Café.

He left Juliana a note and headed out to meet Mila, curious as to what she wanted to talk to him about.

He arrived at the café and saw Mila sitting at a booth. He went to sit opposite her.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?"
