Charlotte’s POVI woke up and noticed that the house was quiet, I smiled to myself as I climbed out of bed and started to get ready for work. I looked at my body in the mirror before getting in the shower and noticed that my bruises were all starting to fade. It must have been almost a week since he last came home. I knew that meant he was probably with another women, but that was the least of my worries. I quickly showered and got dressed grabbing my bag before locking up and walking to work. I used to drive until he sold my car on me, now my only way to get to work was on foot. I was not allowed any cash or a bank card of my own. I suppose that I should be lucky that I was allowed my phone, not that anyone ever contacts me apart from him. My family and friends all stopped messaging and calling me a while ago. I arrived at work just as my boss pulled up outside. I did not want it to look like I arrived with him, even though I didn’t. The women in the office were obsessed with him, th

loved the book. The only thing is with 5 people you have 5 pov, there are chapters with one or two new sentences because of the pov. at the end Christmas morning would be so lovely if there was a little more about that morning with her family, also the epilogue could be a little more specific.

Started this book on Bubble Novel app. It seems to be plagiarized. No author listed. Found it here with author so will finish it here. It has started out very intriguing.

This book could have easily been reduced to half the length with all the repetitions. Waste of money to pay to only read one paragraph that is different in each chapter from the previous ones , when reading the same incident from different people’s perspective.

Ryan’s POVI saw her as soon as we pulled up, she was the only girl in the office that showed kindness. The others just wanted to fuck Jack. I got in my position behind Jack and the other guys. Most people thought we were his only guards, they would freak if they knew how many he had posted around him. I took my position by the front door, I knew all of Jacks enemies and none would make it past me alive. As soon as she saw that Jack was in the building, she pulled herself away from the wall and made her way towards me. I felt sorry for the girl, I knew that things were bad for her at home. I noticed the long tops she wore even when it was hot. The days off she would take and when she came back, she always wore a bit more makeup. I knew what she was hiding, and I wanted to help her, but she always kept everyone at arm’s length. I knew that the only people in the office she would talk to was me and her supervisor Gail. I also spoke with Gail, but it was all about her. We both knew what

Jack’s POVI was pissed, where was that wanka hiding? My rival had a new 2IC who was trying to steal away my business. I did not like anyone going against me, I knocked Gavin my rival back years ago. Now he was suddenly back and had a guy who was too bloody good and was getting in my way. As we pulled up to the office, I saw the girl that Ryan likes to talk to move against the wall. She was the only girl in the office who did not throw herself at me, she did not even give me a second look and I hated how much that bothered me. I was good-looking guy and stinking rich, I could not understand why she did not check me out like the other girls. The only one she seemed to talk to was Ryan, she would always make him a coffee every morning. I arrived at my desk and started to look though surveillance footage. I had the guy’s face, but I could not find anything else out about the guy. It was like he was a ghost. He was trying to get all my contacts on his side and turn them against me. I stil

Charlotte’s POVI was shocked when I opened my eyes and saw Ryan with our boss. I thought a saw a glimpse of worry on Jack’s face, but then it went back to his usual look of stone so maybe I was wrong. Ryan on the other hand looked super worried. “Charlotte hun are you ok? Are you in pain? The ambulance is on its way”. Ryan bent down right in front of me.I thought about his question “My head” I went to try push myself up and realised that I could not feel anything from my waist down “I can’t feel my legs” I sobbed.“It’s ok we will get you checked out, I will make sure that arsehole can never hurt you again”.I looked at him in shock, how could he promise something like that? I noticed Jack had left to talk to another guy. “You can’t save me from him” I looked up at Ryan “I have nowhere to go, I need to go back to him. I have no one else”.“You can stay with me until you get back on your feet” He smiled at me and took my hand.I was about to tell him I could not do that when the amb

Jack’s POVI watched the medic asking Charlotte questions, while he was doing that, I was looking her over while she was distracted. Since she was only in nickers and a bra, I could see the small scars and bruises that littered her body. I felt sick thinking that she had been suffering and I didn’t notice. I was her boss, and she was one of my best workers. As soon as we arrived at the hospital she was whisked away, and a doctor stopped us from following.“I am sorry, but you are unable to come with her, if you wait here a nurse will show you to her room where you are more than welcome to wait” He did not wait for a reply and instead ran off in the direction that they had taken Charlotte.“How long have you known her husband was beating her?”“A while, I was wanting her to trust me a bit more”.“Then what?”“I still have my old flat, I was going to let her stay there till she was back on her feet”.I could not be mad at him as I know that she would not have let him help her if she did

Phillip’s POVI had been having so much fun the last few days. I had found a new girl who was so sweet and innocent, just like Charlotte used to be before I broke her. I sent Charlotte a message letting her know she would be coming for a walk with me after work. I arrived a few minutes before she finished and noticed the guard giving me the evils. What a jack arse, who did he think he was to look at me like that. He was a lousy bodyguard, I probably make more a day than the poor bastard makes in a week. Charlotte came out and I noticed the look he gave her. Did he like my wife? The dirty beggar. I made sure to wrap my arm around her waist so that he would know that she was mine, well mine for the next little while at least. “I suppose that you have noticed that I have not been home the last few days” I had to hide my chuckle.She looked up at me and nodded “Yes” she whispered. I loved the fear I saw in her eyes. I was going to miss that.“Well, that’s because I met someone new, she is

Charlotte’s POVAs soon as Ryan and Jack left, I fell into a deep sleep. I was vaguely aware of the nurses checking on me, but I did not wake up fully. By the time I finally woke up it was morning again. I looked towards the door and saw Ryan stood there.“What are you doing here? You should be at work”.He grinned at me as he walked into the room and adjusted the bed for me so that I was sitting up. He then handed me the remote “I asked Jack if I could be your guard instead and he agreed”.“I am not sure why I need a guard, I don’t think Philip is stupid enough to try hurt me in a hospital and even if he was, he would be looking for me in a public hospital, not a private one”.“That’s his name Phillip?”.“Yeah Phillip Lord”“Do you know what he does for a job?”.“He told me he was a plumber”.“You don’t believe him?”.“We had a broken tap and he got someone in, if he was a plumber why did he not fix it?”.“Did you ask him that?”.“I preferred not to provoke him” I laughed “Why do I ha

Ryan’s POVWe left the room and walked down the hallway. I waited while Jack ran one of his other guards to come and stand outside the door overnight. I cast another look towards Charlotte’s room. I hated leaving her, but I knew we had to go home and get some sleep ourselves. Once the guards arrived Jack told him that he always keeps an eye on Charlotte. Even if a nurse went into the room, he needed to watch to make sure they did not try to hurt her in any way. Once Jack was happy, we went down to the car. The drive back to the house was quiet with us both lost in thought. I was worried about Charlotte, I was guessing Jack was thinking about ways to get Phillip now that we had his name. As soon as we pulled up Grant came running out to meet us.“How is she?”I grinned at him, out of everyone here Grant and I were the closest. I considered him my best friend. “She is ok, they need to do an x-ray in another few days as she has a lot of swelling. Boss said that she will be coming to stay

Jack’s POVAs we got back to the house I went to my office and tried to get some work done. I looked over the surveillance footage again of him stood right outside my office. I tried doing image searching on his face, but nothing came up. I held my head in my hands feeling like a failure. I had no idea that she was being abused. I saw her everyday and she worked closely with me working on all my meeting and advertising needs. I did not even notice Ryan walk in until he spoke.“You ok boss?”I looked up at him shocked that I did not hear him come in “just stressed that he will try get to her in the hospital. I think I might talk to them about her coming home sooner”.“I am happy to be there tomorrow and make sure she is safe if you like. She knows and trusts me”.As much as I wished it could be me to stay with her. I knew I had to go to the office and act normal. Also, she seemed to like and trust Ryan, I knew that she would feel safe and comfortable with him “That would ease my mind,

Ryan’s POVI was so glad that I was close to Charlotte, I hardly got any sleep last night because I was so worried about her. I was shocked at how easy it was for her to give up Phillips information to me. I thought she might have been still in love with him and reluctant. It seems I was wrong, and she wanted nothing to do with him. I hoped that we would be successful and kill the piece of shit. Charlotte deserved better, she deserved to be happy. I did not even notice Jack had arrived until I heard his angry voice.“You are supposed to be guarding the door not chatting”.“Sorry boss, she just woke up so I lifted the bed for her so that she could sit up. I will go back to position now”. I tried to cover my arse, but I knew he would see right thought me.“What did you do to make her cry?” He glared at me.“He didn’t do anything, he just asked me about some burns that he noticed on my back”. Charlotte answered for me glaring right back at Jack.“How did you get burns on your back?” Jack
