Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 600 - Sisters In Action - Part 2

Joshua had no idea what the sisters were upto. The moment he saw the two come down, he glanced at them before he returned to his work. Although he kept a watch on Jared's car by hacking through the surveillance system, it was becoming increasingly impossible as the man drove further away. The path he was driving towards did not have any cameras, and this made Joshua grit his teeth in anger.

"Where the fuck is Jared going? This place leads them out of the city." He exclaimed startling both Aria and Ivy.

Already they were on tether hooks whenever they thought about their secret mission. Joshua's words only served to add more to their dread. But oddly, they were not that terrified. Apprehensive? Yes. Terrified? No, never.

"Joshua, I will drive Aria to the hospital before I go to the agency."

Ivy's heart was filled with guilt. But she did not have the courage to tell him the truth. First of all, Joshua was still injured and she did not have the heart the tell him what she was up to. She knew what the outcome would be. Moreover, Maggie herself had prohibited them from telling anybody else about their plan although they had no idea why. 

Ivy and Aria could only swallow their guilts as they lied to Joshua.

Joshua gave Ivy a mysterious look, making her worry all the more. Her palms turned clammy and she so desperately wanted to tell him everything. For a moment, she even had an inkling that the man had seen through her and knew exactly what she was up to. 

"Come here, Ivy." Joshua beckoned her with a finger and Ivy's heart sank at his expression. His face was completely serious and she could not detect his state of mind. Even his eyes were cold and Ivy started to have an ominous feeling all of a sudden.

Ivy stood rooted to her place. Her legs felt as though they were weighed down by lead balls. She gave Joshua a pitiful look but the man was having none of it.

"Ivy." His tone held a warning in it and this time, Ivy started walking towards him. She just moved a step closer to him and stopped right after.

"Closer," Joshua commanded and Ivy took another step towards him.

Completely disheartened by her actions, Joshua glanced at her and this one look of his was enough for Ivy to start walking until she was right in front of him. She was barely able to register what had happened next.

The next moment, she found herself being yanked by the man sitting on the couch. She tripped and fell over him with Joshua catching her quickly. His warm lips touched her cold ones, taking Ivy by a storm. Ivy's eyes widened instantly. But even before she could comprehend what was transpiring, Joshua released her.

"Now you can leave, my darling." Joshua rubbed her head dotingly and gazed at her lovingly. If not for Aria's presence, he would have kissed her long and hard.

Ivy was still in a daze even after she walked out of the mansion. Aria had to nudge her quite a few times to bring her out of her reverie.

"Though I would love to tease you right now, I prefer we get going. We still need to divert Noah's guards away from us." Aria took the passenger seat while Ivy started the car.

Both Aria and Ivy had long known that Noah had appointed guards for their safety. Every time they left the mansion, these guards would follow them stealthily and keep an eye around them, protecting them secretly until they returned home.

"You are right. But how are we going to find Maggie? We do not know where exactly she is right now." Ivy stated her concerns as she drove out of the mansion with two cars following them closely.

"Maggie will send me a signal shortly. You do know I have another phone which I used to contact her before. Right?" Aria turned around and stared at the two cars behind her and pressed her forehead.

It was not a great deal for them to find out where Maggie was currently. But it was quite stressful to handle the guards following them. Noah's men were not easy to fool, and it would not be long when they would realize that something was wrong and report it to either Noah or Joshua.

"But before that, how are we going to tackle the guards?" Ivy drove at a moderate speed, making sure to keep the guards in sight until they came up with a plan.

Silence ensued between them until an idea struck Ivy. Her eyes glinted and she glanced at Aria who was still lost in thoughts. Not wanting to disturb her, Ivy increased the speed of her driving, forcing the two cars behind her to accelerate too. But they still lagged behind.

With narrowed eyes, she steered the car towards the road that had the highest traffic at this time of the night. With slow-moving traffic, the guards almost lost them until they found the car with the two sisters waiting for the signal to clear.

"Okay baby. Gear up." Ivy exclaimed and the moment the light turned green, she zoomed at such speed that Aria was forced to come out of her thoughts. 

"What are you doing? Why are you driving like a hurricane?" Aria was baffled by how reckless Ivy was driving. But she did not doubt her sister's skills and sat still as she watched the buildings pass by in a blink.

"Didn't you notice, Aria? I managed to escape from the guards. We will not have to worry about them for now."

Ivy winked at her and Aria immediately turned behind, only to find the two cars still stuck in traffic.

"As expected of my brilliant sister." Aria praised with a smile.

"Fortunately, I drove my car today." Ivy sighed and took a turn, shifting lanes to confuse the guards lest they were to catch up somehow.

"Why do you say so?" Aria queried and looked at her phone.

"All other cars in Joshua and Noah's mansions have a tracker, dear sister. If we were to use it, they would have found us quickly."

Right at this moment, Aria's phone beeped and Ivy stopped talking.

"This has to be, Maggie.. Are you ready, Ivy? It's time to kick some ass."
