Charlotte’s POV
I had finally finished setting everything up on my computer. I glanced over at Jack who was focused on what ever he was working on. I suddenly felt naughty so sent him an email advising that my legs were shaky and asking if he could assist me to the bathroom. I watched him as he glanced at me confused, I gave him a wink and watched as he went back to his computer I hoped to read my email. Suddenly he was out if his seat and walking towards me.
“Let me assist you princess” He chuckled as he lifted me into his arms.
“Are we leaving?” Ryan asked looking at his watch.
“Nope” Jack told him as he walked me towards the bathroom, as soon as we were in, he closed and locked the door behind us. “Do you actually need to pee?” He asked as he placed me down.
“Yes” I giggled as I ran into the cubicle and closed the door. I did my business and went back out to wash my hands. He came

Grant’s POVFuck that was an intense tattoo session, everyone was walking on eggshells and Charlotte was giving Jack the cold shoulder for the whole time. I was glad when it was finished, and we got to leave. I had never been so happy knowing that I came on my own, so I did not have to ride back with the others. I got on my bike, and I arrived back before the others. I decided to wait in the kitchen to see if we were getting takeout or if Charlotte would be cooking for us again, though after that session I was not sure she would even want to be in the same room as Jack. I hoped that they would be able to work though it as Jack had been so much happier and more relaxed since they got together.The others arrived back, and Charlotte was the 1st one though the door, she did not even glance as me as she went straight down the hall to her old room. Fuck I guess she really was mad. Jack came in with the others and they all looked broken.“Where

Charlotte’s POVI was so angry at Jack, I ignored him the rest of the session with Reece. I could tell that the others all felt awkward, but I was just so angry. Once we arrived home, I did not even think and just stormed off back to my old room. It was not till I sat on the bed that I realised where I was, and the fear set in. I quickly closed the curtains and made sure that the doors leading to the patio were locked. I was not risking anyone getting in. I sat on the bed and started to think about what happened, maybe I had overreacted. I would not be happy if Jack sat around in his jocks in front of a heap of women. By the time Ryan came to get me for dinner I had calmed down and was just feeling embarrassed about the way I reacted. I sat down and gave everyone a weak smile. Jack returned with the food and looked at me in shock as he placed the food on the table and grabbed some plates before finally sitting down next to me.I ate silently while sneaking glance

Jack’s POVI watched Charlotte caressing the steering wheel, I guess she liked driving. Maybe I could go out with her one weekend and let her do the driving. I was about to climb into the passenger side when Lance stopped me.“Let one of us, we can keep an eye out and shoot if anything happens. You will be safer in the back”“What about Charlotte?”“I will keep an eye out for both of you” he told me as he pushed me towards the back of the car while he climbed in the passenger side.Once we were all seated Charlotte started the engine and took off. I was glad I was in the middle seat so that Ryan and Warren could stop me from going flying. “Not a rally car” I called out.“You guys drive this beast like a bunch of nanas let me drive it like it deserves to be driven” He laughed as she floored it around another corner. We arrived at the office with a screeching of breaks in record

Grant’s POVThe day after our cards night I spent the morning in bed just listening to Phillip and Zac drone on about total shit. By lunch time I was over it and decided to go and check out where Jane was been held. The security around the place was shit, I snook in the back entrance and found Jane strapped to the bed alone. I could see that all her vitals looked fine, and her stomach had started to grow. I guess Phillip had kept his word and no harm had come to her. Since I had made it all the way in, I slipped a listening device under her bed before I left. I arrived back home and carried on listening, as soon as I realised, they were still talking about the same old crap I turned it all off and went for a workout. I just wanted Hannah to come up with a plan already so that this could all be over. Things had gotten too quiet, and I was starting to get restless. I decided not to join the others at Reece’s place and played some video games instead. I needed to sho

Phillip’s POVI did not see Zac for the rest of the day as he went and sorted out the warehouse and men for me. I slowly walked around my house making a list of things I would need for when I had Charlotte back. I knew that she would not be as complacent this time and she would try to escape. I would need to make sure that I broke her spirt, a girl who feels like she has nothing to live for is more submissive. Since this has been our home and I had no reason to fear her leaving, I did not have any chains or rope to tie her up with. I would need to update the bed to have shackles and install a lock on the door. I would also need a long chain so that she could walk around the house without been able to get out. I sent a list of things that I needed to Zac and told him to grab them while he was out. A few hours later he came back with everything I wanted.“Did you get the warehouse and men sorted?” I asked him.“Yes, the men are available to

Charlotte’s POVJack kept leaving the room to take phone calls and he looked really stressed. I felt bad invading his office, he should not feel that he needs to leave the room to talk on the phone. I sighed as I carried on working on the backdrop for the Christmas party. Jack came back in, and I waved him over to look at what I had been working on. I asked him if he was ok and just blamed it on work, my gut was telling me that he was hiding something from me, and I had learnt to trust my gut over the years. I carried on working until Jack told me it was time to leave. I was not getting any tattoo work done today, Reece had told Jack that he would just do a whole day for me on Saturday and if I was up to it Sunday as well. It would be nice to have a couple of evenings free. I want to talk to Lance about my dance lessons, the Christmas party was not far away.We arrived home and I started working on dinner with Jack helping me, he told the others that we wer

Jack’s POVThe worry about Charlotte been alone with Phillip was eating away at me, I needed her to be able to protect herself. I was so worried about losing her, I chose to be the one who stayed and helped her cook. I needed to be close to her, I sent the others away so that I could have some alone time with her. I noticed that she kept giving me odd looks, I knew that she would have picked up that something was wrong. I was just hoping something would come up so that I could point her in the wrong direction. Thankfully Warren brought up her self-defence lessons, I could use the face that I have enemies to my advantage and get her learning to defend herself. I would get Grant to teach her how to shoot as well, then as long as she keeps the gun on her she will be able to defend herself. I was hoping it would only be minutes that we would not be there, but you have to be prepared for the unexpected. I trusted Grant and is his men said that they would protect Charlotte th

Charlotte’s POVLance grabbed my hand and dragged me up to the bedroom. I had not even looked at the dress yet, I wondered what Jack had chosen for me. We arrived and Lance walked straight into the wardrobe and putted out a garment bag. He placed it on the bed and winked at me.“Go on then, open it”I slowly unzipped it and inside was a stunning silver ball gown. It was what I would imagine I would get married it if I ever got the chance for a real wedding. I pulled it out and ran into the wardrobe closing the door behind me. I quickly got dressed and looked at myself in the full-length mirror. You could still see a lot of scars on my arms and chest area, but hopefully by the party they will be all covered with tattoos. I opened the door and motioned for Lance to come in “So what shoes do you think?” I asked while motioning to the row and rows of shoes that Jack had bought me.“Oh my god, this is heaven” Lance gri
