Jack’s POV
Ryan text me as soon as they were heading back to the office, and I started to watch the cameras. As soon as I started watching I could tell that the women were still gossiping even after I told them to stop this morning. I knew when Grant pulled up as a couple of the women ran over to the window to have a look and report back to the others. I was getting more and more pissed off at them, then Charlotte walked into the office. I have no idea what was said, but her face dropped, and she said something to Ryan. What ever she said must have pissed him off as he shoulders tensed and he turned to face the women and I could hear his raised voice even up in my office. He even showed them the handle of his gun, what ever was said really pissed him off. I will have to ask him what it was.
As soon as Charlotte entered the office I walked over and pulled her into my arms. I missed her so much “God, I missed you” I groaned in her ear “Did you hav
Grant’s POVAfter I dropped Charlotte and Ryan off at the office I headed home. I placed the guns and the knife on the kitchen table so that Charlotte could show Jack when they got home. I was just about to make myself some lunch when Jack rang. I looked at my phone in shock, I thought he would be too busy kissing and cuddling Charlotte to worry about me.He did not even wait for me to say hello before he started talking “Phillip was just here”“Shit, I have not listened to him or watched the cameras at all today. I will go do some digging and find out what he is up to”“Keep me posted, all he did was wave. I don’t trust it”“I will let you know what I find out”He hung up and I went straight to my room to start going though what him and Zac were talking about this morning. I also sent Zac a message hoping he might be able to shed some light for me.Me – Want to tell me
Phillip’s POVI was pissed as we drove back to the house “Fuck” I growled as I punched the front door.Zac quickly unlocked the door and helped me into the house. “We will find them boss”“I can’t not believe I trusted him” I growled. “How did doc and that bitch Jane managed to fool us? She looked like she was in a coma”“They fooled us all boss, I had no idea that doc and her were together”“And now they have fucking got away. Fuck this I need to do something to lift my spirits” I stood up and walked to the door.“What do you have planned Sir?”“Let’s do a drive by Jack Kings office shall we? I would like to see my lovely wife and let them all know that I am still watching and waiting”“I thought we were waiting till the Christmas party. I have already sorted all the arrangements”“We are,
Charlotte’s POVI was freaked out, why would Phillip turn up all of a sudden? It made me realise that the men were right, and I did need to know how to defend myself. I thought they were just being crazy, I was so wrong. I guess they knew more about what kind of man Phillip was then I did.Since Phillip showed up, we ended up getting fast food and heading back to the house. As soon as we got back Jack left me in the kitchen with Warren, Lance and Ryan while he went to find Grant. As soon as he left, I looked at the table and noticed that Grant had placed my new guns and knife there. I sat down and placed my new toys down on the table in front of me. The boys started to dish out the food while I sat looking at how shiny my toys were. The diamonds twinkled so pretty under the light, as soon as Jack came out with Grant, I pulled him over.“Look at my pretty new toys” I shoved the boxes into his lap.“Who knew that you would get so exc
Jack’s POVI was so pissed, Charlotte was scared to let me touch her because she was worried about what the guys would say. I hated it when she was trying to get away from me, I wanted her to always feel comfortable in my arms. I knew that I should not have shouted at Lance, I probably made Charlotte feel even more embarrassed. I groaned as I climbed into the back of the car and put my head in my hands. Suddenly the door opened, and Charlotte climbed in next to me.“I am so sorry, I should not have gone off that like that”“Its ok” She sighed as she put on her seatbelt.After a few seconds of her refusing to look at me I could not take it anymore. I put my hand on her face and turned it to face me. “It’s not ok, I know I embarrassed you even more”“Please can we just leave it?”I sighed as I let go of her face just as the others came out. The drive back to the office was silent with
Grant’s POVI arrived at the train station just as the train Doc and Jane were on pulled up. I watched from a distance as they slowly disembarked the train and looked around to make sure that they were not bee followed. I smirked as they started to walk towards me without even noticing me yet. I knew that Jane would have no clue who I was, but the Doc would. I leaned against my truck watching them get closer and closer, they were just about to walk past when the Doc stopped and noticed me. I smirked at the look of fear on his face.“Don’t look so scared Doc, believe it or not I am actually here to help you”“How did you find us?”“Easy, I also know that Phillip has also hired a hacker to help him find you. So, the question is who would you rather have me or him?”“What do you want with us?”“Information, I am sure you know that we have Charlotte in are care”&ldqu
Ryan’s POVMy god the ride back to the office was painful. I was glad when the others all went upstairs and left me guarding the door. As soon as they retreated upstairs the gossip started.“Did you see him grab her arse”“I know, how the hell did she get him?”“I know right, she is so bla”“She is actually quite amazing once you get to know her” I called out.“Be careful he might shoot us”“I would enjoy it too” I laughed.“You are fucking crazy”“Yep, I am a crazy guy with a gun, so if I was you guys, I would shut the fuck up aye”The office went silent, and I grinned to myself. I had no issue with them thinking I was nuts if it stopped them talking shit about Charlotte. The day was passing by with no more issues or gossip and I was happy when people started to leave. Suddenly I noticed Phillips car pulling up o
Phillip’s POVI made the hacker track Jack’s guard to see where he was taking the Doc and Jane, but all of his searches came back blank. It was like they had disappeared into a black hole.“Fuuucccckkkk” I yelled.“What do you want to do?” Zac gave me a worried look.“We are going to teach that bastard a lesson” I growled. I got up and hobbled over to my gun case. I grabbed out a pistol and hobbled out to the car.“You want to shoot him when all his guards are around? That is suicide boss”“First, he took my wife, now he thinks he can take Doc and Jane. Who the hell does he think he is” I yelled.“I know you are angry, and we have the plan to get him at the work party remember sir”“Fuck the work party, get in the fucking car and drive me to his office now!” I ordered.“Yes sir” He climbed behind the wheel while I
Charlotte’s POVAs soon as I sat at my desk I placed on my headphone and chose to ignore Jack, God I would not be surprised if he made me stand in the entry and piss on me to mark his fucking territory. After being in a possessive marriage, I did not want to feel trapped ever again. I became so focused on my work that I lost track of time, when Jack came to stand next to me, I jumped out of my seat in shock.“Don’t sneak up on me like that” I growled at him.“I was calling your name, and you didn’t listen. Come to the window we are about to see a treat”“What?” I gave him a confused look as he led me to the window and stood behind me with his arms around my waist. Warren and Lance were on either side of me with goofy grins on their faces.“Look down and tell me if you recognise anything” I groaned but did as he asked and felt pani
Jack’s POV“You!” Charlotte screamed at me “This is all our fault” She screamed as another contraction shook her.“Its ok dear, just push” The midwife told her.“Fuuuuccccck” Charlotte gasped as she pushed.“I can see the first head”Yes, first head, we found out when we went for our first check up that Charlotte was pregnant with twins. Ryan one that bet so one the money that Charlotte got from Phillip and Gavins bank accounts. As for the sex we decided not to find out, so the men are all waiting eagerly. Charlotte told Grant that she did not want the property from Phillip. We have the farm to Doc who is living happily on his own. He opened his own clinic and sees all the locals and charges them a super small fee.“It’s a boy, congrats” The midwife smiled as she called me over and I cut the first cord.“One more boy and I win the house Phillip shared with Jane” Ryan rubbed his hand together.It turns out that was the first prize, and the second prize was the house that Phillip shared
Charlotte’s POVI woke up with a grin on my face, it was Christmas morning and today Jack would find out I was pregnant. I rolled over and frowned when I realised that the bed was empty. I heard the shower running so climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom with a frown on my face. “What have I told you about leaving me to wake up to an empty bed” I pouted.“I only just got up to get the shower started, I was just on my way back to you” Jack tried to explain.“Ok” I walked into his arms and leaned up to kiss him “Merry Christmas” I mumbled against his lips.“Merry Christmas my love” He smiled “Come on we need to have a quick shower”“Why?” I asked rubbing my hands up his chest.“Behave” He chuckled “I have things I need to attend to this morning and some important people arriving that I will need you to greet with me”“Really?” I groaned as I quickly showered like he asked.I walked back into the bedroom, and he walked into the wardrobe and came out with a red velvet knee le
Jack’s POVI woke up to Ryan ringing my phone, I groaned as I slid out of bed and left the room.“What” I growled into the phone.“Your delivery is here, where do you want it?”“Shit, coming” I quickly ran down the stairs and got the delivery driver to place the tree in the lounge and the boxes of decorations down in front of it. “I better go back upstairs” I told Ryan as I ran back to Charlotte. I was shocked when I entered the room and the bed was empty, but then I heard the shower running and quickly made my way towards the bathroom. I stood enjoying the sight of her naked stood under the stream of water.“There you are” She grumbled “I did not like waking up in an empty bed”“Sorry babe, I just had so sort out a delivery. I have time to join you now though” I quickly undressed and joined her in the shower. I missed looking after her, I spun her around and started to wash her hair and her body while he tried to find out about the delivery. She seemed surprised that I did not try to
Charlotte’s POVAs soon as we got home, I hid the baby grow in Ryans room and then Grant started to show me around the rest of the property. I was shocked at how large it was, they had their own orchard and grape vines. This place was amazing, lastly Grant took me to see the pigs. They are tucked away behind the cells, what made sense.“Did Phillip get fed to them?” I asked.“Yes” Grant told me. “Does that upset you?”“No” I told him honestly “I am glad that he is dead”“On that note, you now own all of the properties that Phillip and Gavin owned”“What?” I looked at him shocked“You also have all their money too”“No” I pulled out my phone and almost fainted when I saw my bank balance.“Jack has taken over their business dealings, but I am sure if you wanted them, he would happily pass them on to you”“Fuck no, he can keep them”“The Doc was wondering if he could stay in Gavin’s old place”“He can have it” I told him “I don’t need any of the houses or the money. Give them all away to
Jack’s POVAfter Charlotte left, I went back to my computer and booked the holiday. I decided that we would bring in the new year on a tropical island.“Do you not think it was odd that Grant was so eager to go with them?” Warren asked.“What do you mean? He enjoys spending time with Charlotte”“I know, that’s not what I mean. It just seemed like he had to go with them as he did not like the idea of Zac going”“You think that he has an issue with Zac?”“No not that, I am not sure what I think. I just think it was odd how keen he was to go with Ryan and Charlotte”“I will talk to him later at the house and find out what is going on” I told him. “I don’t think it will be anything important” I decided that I better get back to sorting out the payroll while Charlotte was gone. Since she was helping me with the gift cards, we might be able to finish work early.“Have you thought about getting tree for the house?” Warren suddenly asked.“What?”“A Christmas tree, I know we don’t usually do
Grant’s POVI went to see the Doc first thing on Monday morning, while I had been gone, he had gone though and found a few positions that he wanted to apply for. All we had to do now was sort out his resume and figure out what he had been doing for the last few years.I had spoken to one of my old mates in the special forces and he said he was happy to act as a reference for the guy if he needed one. So that’s what we added to his C.V, he had been a medic for the special forces.Once his resume was updated, he sent off for the jobs. “Now I just need somewhere to live” He sighed “I cannot keep living here”“I was going to ask Charlotte if it would be ok for you to stay at Gavin’s old place”.“No one knows were that is” Doc looked at me in shock “He kept that very well hidden”“I have the location, and the property is now in Charlottes name, it’s a nice little lifestyle block. I thought that would suit you”.“Really, is she would be ok with me staying there that would be amazing. I will
Charlotte’s POVI looked at Grant in shock “How did you?” I was starting to panic, would the others figure it out so quickly?“Oh my god, am right” He looked at Ryan “You’re a sly dog how long have you known?”“Not long, I found out the same time as Charlotte”“And that was?”“Saturday morning” I sighed “It was Grace who figured it out when I vomited after smelling coffee”“Shit, so no more coffee for you” he laughed.“Well not for the moment no, but please don’t tell Jack. I want to wait and let him know on Christmas morning”“You should go get a little jumpsuit and wrap it up for him”“That’s such a good idea” I smiled at him, I could get it embroidered with something like ‘Heir to the King’ I laughed.“Ok you have to do that” Ryan told me.“I will, but right now we should probably get back to the office before he has a mental breakdown” I laughed. I could just imagine how much he was stressing, wondering if I would come back.“You going to tell him what she told you?” Ryan asked as
Jack’s POVAfter Charlotte left, I slumped in my chair, now I just had to wait and see what happens. I did not understand why she would want to cameras and stuff disabled. Was she scared that we were lying to her about me getting drugged? I hated waiting, I wanted to leave and go home so I was there when she was finished with Hannah. But I knew that was a bad idea and I needed to be patient and wait for Charlotte to come to me.Warren came and sat in the seat opposite me “What do you think she will ask Hannah?”“I have no idea and that’s what worries me” I sighed.“Lance told me that she said something that shocked both Ryan and Grant that stopped walking in shock”“Does he know what she said?”“No, they were too far away” “Fuck I hate waiting” I growled.“You are not the only one, we all want her to come back home” Warren told me as he stood up and went back to the door.I groaned I needed something to keep me distracted. I opened the internet browser and started to search for roman
Ryan’s POVThe whole time I was in Jack’s office I was on edge, waiting for him to blow up at me for hitting him. I eves dropped on his conversation with Zac thinking maybe he was going to give him my job and fire me. Only he was offering him a job as Charlottes driver, I guess I did still have a job. Once Zac left, I waited for him to call me over. I was wrong yet again as he called Charlotte over instead and started telling her that he had Hannah in the cells, and he had kept her alive for Charlotte. Honestly my head was swimming right now as I watch Charlotte set rules in place for her going to see Hannah. I was impressed when Jack agreed, and I got to go with her. Yes baby, I was going to have a very interesting afternoon.Then Jack offered her a coffee, I was about to step in myself and quickly take it away. Thankfully Charlotte managed to get away herself.Jack then called Grant and Charlotte went back to her desk to wait, now he was going to call me over and tell me this job wi
