Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 138
Advertisement
While Noah and Aria were in their own sweet world, Ronnie drove towards the destination Aria had given him. He did not know what was happening at the back and he was not interested to know either. He did not want to eat dog food and see any more of his boss's weird behavior which was only reserved whenever Aria was around.
At that moment, a phone rang killing the silence. It was Aria's phone which he still had with him when she had given him the address. Without looking at the caller ID, he called his boss removing the partition. But what he saw, made his eyes bulge out. Though he was familiar with the way Noah was behaving around Aria, he couldn't stop himself from being shocked.
Aria was sleeping with her head on Noah's chest as he patted her back gently. His head was on top of her's and his eyes were closed. Ronnie stared at the couple through the mirror. If it had not been for the call, he wouldn't have disturbed such a beautiful scene. There was such tranquility and peacefulness in the air, that for a moment he forgot that he was related to the underworld.
Ronnie cleared his thought and called his boss. The phone was ringing constantly, so he had to do something about it. But before he could do anything, Noah opened his eyes himself. He had heard the ringing sound when Ronnie had removed the partition.
"Boss, it's the Madam's phone." Ronnie handed the phone to Noah immediately and sighed in relief that he was not the one who had disturbed his boss's time with his woman. If anybody were to take responsibility, it would be the caller.
Noah took a glance at Aria, to see her frowning. The phone ring was disturbing her sleep. Not wanting to wake her up, he answered the call for her.
"Hello, Ari. Where are you? Are you nearby?" He heard Ivy's voice from the other side.
"Hello, Ivy. It's me." Noah replied, only to render Ivy speechless. She wondered whether she had called the wrong number by mistake and checked her phone screen. But, she had called the correct person. Why did Noah pick up Aria's phone? The next second Ivy smiled in realization.

"Brother-in-law, what a surprise. Wow, you guys are now picking up each other's calls. That's wonderful." Noah was not an idiot to not realize that Ivy was teasing them. He had no problems with it anyway, in fact, he became happy hearing her words. It made him feel warm and contented that one out of the two most important people in his beloved's life had accepted him.
"Aria is sleeping and I did not want to disturb her. We are almost near you."
"Is it? But I cannot see Aria's car anywhere." Noah looked around and saw Ivy standing in front of an apartment complex on the other side of the road. It struck him that nobody told her they would be coming in his car.
"Um... Ivy, Aria left her car at the hospital. We are taking a U-turn, wait a minute."
Ivy looked around her to see if any other car was nearby and right at that moment a black Bentley stopped in front of her, startling her. When the car halted, Aria too woke up from her sleep.
"Are we there yet?" She asked yawning as she snuggled closer to Noah trying to get more of his warmth. Noah smiled at her gesture. She resembled a koala bear, hugging him tightly not wanting to leave his side.
"Ivy is here." He replied, making her pull back and follow his line of sight to see Ivy standing outside the car.
Ivy was an intelligent person. She could practically see the couple behaving all cozy and romantic in the back seat. Not wanting to disturb them, she hopped into the passenger seat, making Ronnie's eyes go wide. He had presumed Ivy to sit at the back beside her sister. Never had he imagined her to sit beside him. He took a good look at her. Just like Aria, she too was beautiful. He had heard from Noah that Aria had a twin. There were minute similarities between them, yet they looked different. He concluded them to be non-identical.

"Why don't you come and sit at the back?" Noah asked clearing his throat. His sister-in-law was highly unpredictable. He too had thought that she would take the back seat.
"And disturb your sweet moments. Nah. I am fine here." Ivy gave the couple a wink and giggled. Aria blushed at her comment while Noah smirked. As expected, Ivy was exceptional and understanding.
Ronnie started driving again, his eyes occasionally darting towards the woman beside him. There was something about her that was attractive, but not in a romantic way. Her aura was completely different than Aria's. While Aria had a strong and confident aura, Ivy looked more independent and stubborn.
"Ivy, why didn't you get your bike today?" Aria asked making the two men's jaw drop.
"That..." Ivy did not know how to continue. However, she had no problem telling the truth. One was her sister and the other was her brother-in-law and the man beside her looked like Noah's driver. Since he worked for Noah, she concluded him to be trustworthy.
"Somebody is following me," Ivy revealed without any glitch in her voice. She looked calm and composed instead of being nervous or anxious. All the people in the car, other than Ivy, were appalled.
"What do you mean? Who is following you and why?" Aria asked, still in shock.
"Aria, calm down. He is a guy from work. He joined our group recently and he has this weird vibe about him which made us wary of him. He had followed all our groupmates before and now it's my turn."
"But why?" Aria continued.
"I have no idea. We have a hunch that he might be the one behind us getting sacked. Since we are on this topic, thank you so much Noah for agreeing to help us." Ivy's gaze was fixed on him as she thanked him and appreciated his help.
"Not a problem and I think it would be beneficial to me as well."
"What are you guys talking about?" Aria looked forth between Ivy and Noah confused.
"I have agreed to help them open a news agency and be their boss."
"You are opening your own news agency. That's great."
"Not I, Aria. It's Max and we are supporting him and Noah will be the big boss." Ivy saluted him, making everyone chuckle including Ronnie.
"By the way, did he follow you here as well?" Noah questioned, his eyes darting around to see if anybody was behind him.
"No, I tricked him by taking the back entrance. Poor guy must be waiting for me at the entrance of the apartment. Oh no." Ivy exclaimed suddenly.
"What happened?" Aria looked at her intently, brows creased.
"How are we going to go inside if he is still lurking around?"
"Not a problem. I'll drive to your apartment basement. This way, he will think that it is one of the residents." Ronnie who was quiet all along answered suddenly.
"But there is another problem. He has been keeping an eye on me for days. So, he might be familiar with the cars that belong to the residents and also this car is eye-catching and expensive. This might alert him more." Ivy said waving her hands.
"Hmm. That is a problem. But since we will be at home only for a short amount of time, maybe he would not think it to be suspicious." Noah stated. He was actually not that worried about this matter. If things got out of hand, he would kill him and end this issue. Somebody was following his sweetheart's sister. How audacious of him!

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
