Chapter 10 Chapter 10- Revealed Truth
JULIANA''S POV
I woke up feeling the mostfortable I''ve felt in a while. I reached out on my bed to try and locate
Este but I frowned as I found it empty. I was so used to waking up with her cuddled up against me.
I stretched and began to get ready.
I had a shower, brushed my teeth and changed into somefortable clothes for the day.
I thanked god that it was Saturday because I was not in the right state of mind to be at work.
I checked the time and it was almost 9. That''s thetesI''ve ever woken up.
I went down to Tyberias'' kitchen to find Tyberias nowhere to be seen. He was probably still asleep.

I decided to make Tyberias breakfast , wanting to repay him for letting me temporarily stay at his ce.
30 minutester
I smiled in satisfaction as I looked down at the dining table in front of me. There was a te with a
stack of pancakes, another with pieces of bacon, and the final te was full of scrambled eggs.
"It smells amazing" I heard Tyberias say as he walked into the room.
"Thank-" I began but stopped as Iid my eyes on him. He was shirtless wearing only grey jogging
bottoms. I already assumed he was going to be muscr but nothing could''ve prepared me for how
good he actually looked. His chest was hard, tanned and covered in tattoos. My eyes trailed down
lower to his six pack and down to the dark trail of hair that disappeared into his pants.
Woah.
I cleared my throat before speaking, slightly embarrassed that I was tantly staring at him.
"Thank you" I smiled.
He sat down and began putting some food on his te.
He stared at me seeing as I didn''t make a move to take any of the food.
"Why aren''t you eating?" He said
"I don''t usually eat breakfast. I don''t get hungry in the morning" I replied
"Sit down" hemanded and nodded to the chair opposite his.
I sat down and waited as he got up from his seat and went into the kitchen.
What was he doing?
He returned shortly after with another te in his hand and ced it in front of me. Then he began
pulling generous amounts of food into my te. While he was doing this, I couldn''t help but to stare at
him in awe.
He actually cared?
I''ve never had someone take care of me like this before. Normally it was me taking care of others. It felt
nice to be on the receiving end.
Once he was satisfied with the amount on my te, he took a seat opposite me and we began eating.
"Do you have any ns for today" he said.
"No"
"Good, neither do I so we can spend the day together"
"Who said I wanted to spend the day with you?" I joked while smiling.
"Trust me, girls would be begging to be in your position right now" he grinned
"Cockiness isn''t attractive" I replied, smiling as I see his grin fade.
"I thought girls liked that type of thing" he said and I shrugged.
i''M nOt LiKe MoSt GiRlS. The cliché and extremely cringe worthy sentence that was overused in many
books came into my head.
We proceeded to eat in afortable silence but there was a question on my mind that I was
contemting on asking.
"What type of work do you do for a living, Tyberias" I couldn''t help the words as they stumbled out my
mouth.
He immediately stopped eating and cleared his throat
"I just sell some stuff. You don''t need to worry about it."
"I don''t need to worry about it? I''m not stupid, Tyberias. I know you do some shady sh?t otherwise I
wouldn''t have been threatened to stay away from you."
He huffed before answering
"Fine, I''ll tell you but you don''t repeat this to anyone. Understood?"
I nodded eagerly
"I sell drugs and weapons to people around the world. But I also have some legitimate businesses to
fall back on like clubs and hotel chains." He said calmly.
He raised and eyebrow, waiting for my reaction.
"Woah. That''s so cool!" I said, moving to the edge of my seat, eager to know more.
"Cool? I didn''t expect that type of reaction from you. I thought you would go running for the hills"
I shook my head at his suggestion
"So do you like... kill people" I asked, strangely intrigued.
"Yes. But only when I have to" He said, analyzing my face for any type of reaction.
The weird thing was, I wasn''t scared. As crazy as it sounded, I knew Tyberias wouldn''t hurt me.
"Are you scared of me now?" He asked.
"No"
"You''re weird." Hemented and I nodded my head in agreement.
"So... what will we be doing today?" I asked changing the subject
"I was thinking we could go to my personal gym so I could train you for a little bit, teach you some self
defense".
I nodded.

I stood in front my mirror and stared at my reflection. I was wearing a sports bra with shorts that
hugged my ass nicely. Agreeing that the bra was too revealing, I threw on a baggy shirt.
I walked down the stares and made sure to follow Tyberias'' exact directions to his gym.
Woah. It was huge.
I walked in to see Tyberias lifting some weights. The sight made my mouth dry. He was wearing a vest
and some shorts shorts that hung dangerously low. His biceps were bulging as he lifted the weight
above his head and the back down. The sweat that was dripping from his skin made it glisten in the
light.
Then, as if noticing I had arrived, he put the weights down, made direct eye contact with me before he
peeled his shirt off his body and used it to wipe away his sweat. I had to wipe my mouth to make sure
there was no drool.
I cleared my throat, "Sorry, I''mte I got lost" I said calmly. I totally wasn''t checking you out for a couple
minutes
"It''s no problem. Let''s get started". He said walking towards arge mat.
I couldn''t help but stare at his behind as he walked off. Damn
"Coming" he grinned as if he knew I was checking him out.
That''s what he said.
I quickly nodded and followed him, standing opposite him in the mat.
"Let''s begin." He nodded
