Sunit Embrace

Chapter 10: Ethan Carter

I was invited to a grand finally. That I was looking out for a while, I had gotten ready. It was the second week, Since Julia left, god I missed her more then I never thought I would. I was in my BMW 7 series. Rethinking my damn decision, I had the voice recorder on Julia, but it seemed so silent?. Did that fucker take it off.

I zoned out for a moment, before I snapped back to the road. I had made it to the big ball
'The grand Finally' of what?, of nothing, but a gathering for all the important people.

I had parked in-front the the big gate. I let out a sigh, putting the car on 'P', I exited the car, handing the keys to the butler, that was gonna park it away, and hand me the keys later.

I had worn, a navy blue suit, black loafers. My hair presentable, but a bit messy. I still looked good looking, presentable. Like always?. Wasn't gonna get a head of myself.

I enter the ball, walking around, some eyes were on me. I shift my eyes to the side, to see Julia?!, Maxwell.
Julia's hand/arm was between Maxwell's arm. They looked like a presentable couple.

Made my blood boil, "fuck you, Julia. For making me feel like this" I mumble. I still wonder what has she done to me.

My eyes on what Julia's wearing, a stunning black dress, strapless/sleeveless. The top of the dress was tight and straight, around her waist was a black belt that connected the dress..The black large fluffy layered skirt tall to her feet, even taller than that. But her Dior heels that had sliver white gemstones, made it look like it was meant for her. The black gloves to her middle arms, added a touch to it. And her white sliver gemstone bag, matched her heels.

Her makeup perfectly done, not light not dark. But perfect. Her straight silky shiny hair, made feeling it was something calming, relaxing.

Maxwell had seemed to have matched with her, his black suit, black loafers. I knew I could hit that better, be a better man than he could ever be.
What was I even saying?!, they ain't even together but Julia is here to trick him.

I let out an annoyed breath. I walk away, as the ball had started. An old friend had set this arrangement, to help me out, he spoke his part of speech, it was my turn to speak now. I knew Julia would be watching. Remember my words 'I'll know everything. Whenever, wherever'.

I walk up, standing professionally. "This grand, is not for a fight or a tight. But for everyone, that gained success. With NO Cheating and lacking. I'm very proud and pleased. Y'all may enjoy this. And remember those moments." I speak unpleased, my dry tone, kicking in. My eyes on Julia, Maxwell.

I finish my speech, exiting the stage. I had seen Julia walk somewhere, which seemed like the washroom.

I knew I had to speak with her, I ran secretly away from the crowd of achieved people.

Before Julia could walk anywhere else. I pulled her
arms, pushing her in a room. Locking the door.
"What the fuck Julia?, why haven't you been answering my damn calls or texts." My tone stiff,
Hard. I seemed very pissed off. I still don't know why, I felt like that.

"Seems like you've, missed me?, ha." she spoke with a slight smirk. Those words, made me irritated more.
"That's not the fucking point, Julia. Answer my damn question. Why haven't you been answering my calls or texts? When the hell did I tell you even to turn off the voice recorder. Or let Maxwell hold your arm like that?" My tone ached, echoed.

"Mr Ethan, this plan wont work!, I have to get physical for this to work!- I don't know I just did so, why do you care if I answered you or not?, you even sent me some damn letters to my house, and money; For me to get a new phone?" She spoke, sounding confused.

She was right?, why did I care this much. "I don't know." I pause, "I don't know why I care." I utter out. Sighing next. "I just damn do, Julia." I whisper, my tone shattering in me.

She lifts a brow. I stare at her, the room went silent.
I walk to her, lifting her chin up towards me.
"Julia, you sick fucker." I lean to her ear whispering, my breath heavy/hot. "Ignore my messages again, you'll find out what I can do to Maxwell and you." My voice echoed in her ear.

She shivered, I couldn't help myself?, I pull her closer...Holding her tightly against my chest, my hand onto her back gripping tight., as if I was gonna rip her dress apart. "Maxwell is dangerous, if he found out you're against him.
He'll hurt you, Julia...my worst nightmare would be to see you hurt. I wouldn't want that." I whisper against her ear my tone dry but soft, I pause. I push her back.

"Don't think deep, don't think as if I like you?, no. Told you that to be clear on your mission, if you fail, we'll fail with you." I spoke dryly. A winked smirk ghosted the tip of my mouth. But I knew that was far from what I meant.

I turn around leaving her speechless, I exit the room, making sure Maxwell didn't see me.

I walk back to the crowd room.

I was standing, around two girls, having a chat about how they're modelling, company's going. Having my drink, while a small smile on my face.

I could feel Julia's eyes on me, which made me smirk to myself . Hm, jealous?, could be. I think to myself.
Before I realise, Julia had begun to speak to some fucker?, that brought her some fucking drink?
She was laughing, and smiling?-

My blood boiled, but I couldn't show that emotion. I knew she was doing that to annoy me.
Just wait till the mission ends, Julia. You'll find out what's coming for you.
