Chapter 621: Wrecked
Neither of the girls had expected the car ahead of them to ram into them. They were unprepared for it and so the impact of the accident was huge. They were almost thrown off their seats and Aria even hit the dashboard hard.
"What the fuck!!" Ivy cursed when she composed herself. Compared to the other two, she was quick to come out of her shock and she noticed the car reversing immediately after slamming into them.
Ivy's eyes widened when she realized what was happening and she immediately started her car. But to her horror, the engine refused to start and she could only watch the car in front speeding towards them.
"Aria, Maggie, jump." That was all she could say before she removed the seat belt and jumped out of the car.
By then, Aria and Maggie too had composed themselves and they too had realized the gravity of the situation. Though barely a few seconds, they too managed to jump out of the car before the other car rammed into them again.
Meanwhile, Kaito had pressed on the accelerator hard after reversing the car when he noticed the driver jump out. His eyes dilated in fear when he realized who it was and his terror only rose when he saw the two other women jump out of the car immediately after. But it was too late for him to stop his car.
Kaito slammed into the car with a bang and the impact was so huge that the other car moved back before it toppled over.
"Boss, that's Madam and her sister. I...I..." Only Kaito knew how scared he had been to see them here and to think that he had almost hurt them, kill them even. He turned back to face the man who had given him the orders only to find him staring ahead in horror. His face depicted how terrified he was and Kaito let out a deep breath in relief.
What if the ladies had not jumped out of the car in the nick of the time? Just the thought of it was enough to send chills down his spine. He sat still for a few seconds to calm his racing heart.
Noah blinked a few times and when reality hit him, he opened the car and ran outside in panic. He was sweating profusely and his worry only rose when he saw Aria's condition. She had wounded her forehead and blood was trickling down. She seemed to be in a daze for a moment.
It was only when she sensed someone's gaze on her that she came out of her trance and turned her head. Her lips parted in shock when she saw who it was and she looked at him in astonishment.
"Noah, why...." She did not even get to complete her words when the man rushed to her and pulled her into her embrace, hugging her tight.
Bewildered, all Aria could do was blink in confusion.
"I am so sorry, Aria. I...I..." He stammered, not knowing how to apologize for his mistake. He was still petrified to think what the outcome of the second collision would have been if the girls had not left the car.
"I did not know it was you and I ordered Kaito to...to..."
"Wait," Aria pulled back at once. "We need to leave from here. Let's talk at home."
Noah gave her a puzzled look as he helped her to stand up. He could not comprehend Aria's reaction, not when he was too muddled to make sense of anything that was happening around him.
Aria pressed on her wound to stop it from bleeding turned towards the fleet of cars that was approaching them.
"Jared's men are following us. We need to leave now." She exclaimed and Noah finally understood what was happening. He held Aria and brought her to one of the cars while Kaito just looked on. Though his Boss did not speak a word other than nodding at him curtly, he understood what was wanted of him and he nodded back at him immediately.
"Is Jared too following you?"
"I don't think so." Aria shook her head slightly. "But I am not sure."
"Okay, wait here. I will bring Maggie and Ivy."
Aria stayed silent and pressed on her wound while Noah ran towards the other two girls who were frowning in disbelief as they stared at Kaito. Ivy was especially vexed when she saw the state her car was in. The front bumper and headlights were destroyed and her car would not even start. She glared at Kaito who just gave her a sheepish smile in return.
"Ivy, don't blame him. I was the one who misjudged the situation." Noah stood in front of her, obstructing her view and Ivy's gaze snapped to him immediately. She gave him an unimpressed look before she looked at Maggie.
"You can scold me all you want. Let's leave from here before Jared's men get to us."
Though Ivy was furious, she swallowed her anger and followed Noah towards the car, taking the back seat while Maggie sat beside her. Noah sat behind the wheel and glanced at Aria in concern before he started the car.
"What about the others?" Aria stared at Kaito and the other men who were frozen in their spots.
"They will return once they finish dealing with the pests."
The women understood what was bound to happen once they left the place. But nobody said a word for they trusted Noah's men to take care of Jared's men easily. They were clearly stronger and more skilled than them.
Noah just nodded at Kaito and left the place even before Aria could drop her next question.
"Are you alright, Noah?"
"Are you okay, Aria?"
The couple asked at the same time and Ivy rolled her eyes immediately after. Even though she had a belly full of fury, she stayed mum and observed the man who had wrecked her car.
"I am so sorry. I thought it was Jared. I..I..." Noah bit his lip and looked at the two women behind him through the rearview mirror in remorse.
Aria was just about to stop him when Ivy beat her to it.
"Noah," Her irate voice made him glance at her again.
"I am sorry, Ivy. I am really sorry, Maggie."
"It's fine." Maggie brushed it off as though it was nothing. Even Aria did not speak a word but Ivy was far from accepting his apology. She glowered at him and Noah cowered in his place, not liking her look of accusation.
"You owe me a car, Noah. Until then, do not expect my forgiveness."
