Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 509 - Fake Address



"Master Martin, someone suspicious tried to access your address. I have redirected them to your fake address. Do you want me to check who it is?" Alvis's voice reverberated in the room, and Ivy jumped in surprise. She had never expected to hear his AI speak to him the moment they entered his house. 

Joshua chuckled on seeing Ivy's reaction. She looked cute with her eyes wide and lips parted. Only if she was sitting beside him, he would have kissed the hell out of her. "Yes, Alvis track the person," Joshua ordered and smiled widely when Ivy turned to him.

"What was that? How did you do it?" Ivy queried as she kept blinking in disbelief.

"Do what, sweetheart?" Joshua gave her a mysterious smile and raised an eyebrow in pride.

"When did you activate your AI? I don't recall you using any device or ..." Ivy stopped speaking suddenly. "Wait a minute. Did you use your phone? Can you use your phone to activate it?" Ivy's eyes sparkled with excitement, and Joshua let out a deep sigh on seeing her beautiful face.

"Yes and no."

"What?" Ivy was confused by his answer, and she folded her hands, waiting for him to explain more. 

"I will tell you if you only if you come here." Joshua patted the space beside him, urging the girl to come close to him. Although he was liking the view in front of him, for he could stare at his charming Ivy as long as he wanted, he preferred her in his embrace. He wanted her close to him, to his heart.

Ivy's lips twitched, and she narrowed her eyes. "What if I don't come over there? What will you do?"

"Then, I can't do anything. I am a sick person, and you are supposed to help me and take care of me. But my girlfriend does not want to take care of me. What can I do then? I am such a miserable person. The girl I love the most is giving me a blind eye. My heart aches thinking how unfortunate I am."

Ivy rolled her eyes at the man. She realized that Joshua had become more dramatic since the time he had woken up. Also, he had become incredibly touchy. He would never miss an opportunity to touch and hold her in his embrace, kiss her even. Although Ivy liked this clingy side of him, she was also frustrated by him. Only she knew how much energy it took her to calm her raging heart every time he gave her a toe-curling kiss.

"And," Ivy raised an eyebrow when saw the evilness lurking in the man's eyes. She was sure whatever he would say next would force her to go to him even if she did not want to. "If you want to know how my AI was activated, you need to come here, sweetheart. Otherwise, I will not tell you a word."

Ivy sighed in dismay. Now she had no choice but to go to him. She was incredibly curious and wanted to find how his intelligent system. It was the same as the one she had seen in the Avengers movie. Never had she expected to witness such a marvel in real life.

"If I was not interested in your AI, I would not have come to you," Ivy grumbled and sat beside Joshua. Though she maintained an arms distance, she had underestimated Joshua's capability. He pulled her to him at once, making Ivy yelp in surprise. He did not stop until Ivy was in between his thighs. When Ivy tried to move, he pushed his legs closer, forcing her to stay where she was.

"Perfect. This is where I wanted to you." Joshua commented and pecked her cheek.

"Are you out of your freaking mind? What if you were to tear your wounds? Wait, did you tear your wounds? Did you hurt yourself?" Ivy tried to turn around. But Joshua stopped her immediately.

"Relax, darling. I am fine. My wounds are fine too." He tried to assure her but Ivy was not convinced.

"Why would you do such a stunt? Have you lost your mind? Are you an idiot?" She kept mumbling. "What if something..." She did not have the time to complete for Joshua had kissed her ear while his hand pushed her closer to him, forcing her to lean back and turn her head towards their right. Now, Ivy's enthralling neck was easily accessible to him, and he bent down to kiss her.

When Joshua kissed her sensitive spot, Ivy sighed lightly. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to the other side, giving more access to Joshua. Though he wanted to keep going, the pain in his shoulder was restricting him. With one final kiss on her neck, he pulled back. "I would love to go ahead and kiss you, Ivy. But I have other matters to attend to."

Ivy's eyes fluttered open, and she looked at him in a daze. The sight before him was so bewitching that Joshua almost lost control. But before he could kiss her brains out, Alvis spoke again. "Master Martin, I have tracked the person who tried to find your address. It is a man named Berry, and he sent the address to Miss Amber Heard."

Joshua cursed Alvis silently. He wondered if his system was waiting until now to report to him. Why couldn't Alvis speak after some time? Why could Alvis wait until he kissed his darling girl?

As soon as Ivy heard Amber's name, she came out of her reverie and narrowed her eyes at the man who was pressing his forehead. "I see." Joshua stared at Ivy, who was glaring at him, her neck was twisted to face him. He gave her a cheeky grin and thought for a while. "Do a background check on Berry."

"Will do." Alvis went silent again.

"Your ex-girlfriend is sure persistent." Ivy seethed, and Joshua took a deep breath.

"It does not matter how persistent she is. She does not matter to me anymore. All I need is you, and my life will be complete. She is nothing but exhaust gas in my eyes, unwanted and harmful. Why would I want her in my life?"

As soon as Joshua compared Amber to exhaust gas, Ivy started laughing; and Joshua too smiled on seeing her laugh. He was relieved that he had saved the situation. Though Ivy hated Amber as much as he did, he did not want the girl to direct her anger on him when he was just a poor victim.

"What are we doing? What did Amber do now?" Ivy queried and blinked at him. She was unable to see the man clearly in the position she was in. But Joshua had no intentions of letting her go. So, she could only stay still and lie in his embrace.

"Amber must have found out about my discharge. She contacted someone to find out my address, and now she is headed over there to meet me." Joshua revealed, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Will Amber come here then?" Ivy moved forward, startled by the news. But Joshua did not allow her to move. He pulled her back and wrapped his hands around her, making sure to not apply much pressure on his injured arm. Ian's analgesic medicines were working like a charm on him, and he did not feel much pain, though it was highly uncomfortable for him to move.

"Not at all. I don't allow people to find my address that easily. Other than the people I am close to nobody knows where I live exactly. And the address Amber is going to is a fake one I have put in my details to divert stalkers from me. Amber will not be able to find our home until I allow her to.

"Smart man," Ivy was impressed by his thinking, and Joshua smiled widely on hearing her compliments.

"I was born smart, baby." He boasted.

"Yeah, right." Ivy scoffed.

"And I became smarter after I met you." He added, and Ivy smiled at him in delight.

"What is happening now? Has Amber reached the said address?" Ivy shifted the topic, unable to stand the man's intense gaze on her. 

"I am not sure. Let me check." Joshua lifted the laptop beside him and placed it on Ivy's thighs. He then pushed himself forward until his chest was touching her back, and Ivy was securely wrapped in his embrace. 

"Umm, Joshua." Ivy was flustered by how close they were. Although she did not mind the position they were in, she was worried about him and his wounds. It had been only a day when he had woken up, and he was in amazing spirits which she could not comprehend. Was it even possible for someone to be this excited after being unconscious for long?

"Joshua, I can move if you want." She offered.

"Shh, don't move. Stay still." He reprimanded her softly and started to type a string of codes in his laptop until a screen opened. Ivy was in awe to see the speed of his fingers on his keyboard. She had never seen anyone type this swiftly.

"What's this?" She pointed at the screen that was showing surveillance of an area she could not make out. She could not make out what kind of a building it was. But from the looks, she deduced it to be a small manor. It did have a rich feel to it, especially after seeing the beautiful garden.

"I am viewing the surveillance video of the address Amber will be soon going to. This is the recording of the CCTV installed in front of the house." 

"Wait a minute. How do you know that there is a CCTV installed in front of this house?"

"What do you think?" Joshua smiled at the girl and pressed his cheek to hers.

"Do you know the people who stay at that house?"

"I have no idea."

"What?" Ivy was stunned by his revelation.

"I don't know who stays there. I keep changing my address every few months to be safe. All I know is that the manor belongs to a retired army General, and he lives with his wife. And the best part is that they have an amazing dog that can scare the shit out of anyone."

Ivy started laughing as soon as she heard Joshua's words. She already found it hilarious to think that Amber would be going to the wrong address. On top of that, the manor belonged to a soldier. What would happen when an idiot would meet a disciplined soldier? It sure would be a disaster for Amber. She could not even imagine the scenario. She was already laughing even before Amber had reached the place.
