Phillip’s POV
I 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 POVI watched Charlotte run off crying and sat frozen, she was right. I did not think about what Phillip might try to do with us taking in the Doc and Jane. All I was thinking was that we could get some valuable information off him. I was hoping he might be able to give us something so that I won’t have to let him take Charlotte at the work party.“Are you just going to sit there?” Ryan yelled at me “Get off your arse and go after her”“Do not order me around” I growled at him as I got up.“Then don’t act like a fool” He grunted as he walked into the kitchen, I am assuming to check on dinner.“Fuck you” I grumbled under my breath as I walked away to find Charlotte. She had headed in the direction of the boy’s rooms and the gym. My guess was she either went to her old room or the gym. I was hoping she went to the gym as I would not put it past Phillip to hire

Grant’s POVI Filled Jack in on where I had the Doc and Jane, letting him know that I had locked the door so that they could not leave. I also had cameras and sensor alarms set up around the place, so they would not be going anywhere without me knowing about it. I felt good about how things were going, and I was excited to find out what the Doc knew. That was until we updated everyone, and Charlotte went nuts and stormed off. I guess I didn’t think about how she might feel, I was just excited to get information and get one up on Phillip. After Jack went trailing after her I went to my room, no point hanging around when I can be observing my new guests. I had just got to my room and logged into the computer when I heard the gym door slam and loud footsteps. I guess that Jack and Charlotte are still fighting I chuckled to myself as I checked out the cameras. I was shocked that Doc and Jane were both curled up on the couch watching a movie and eating popcorn. They lo

Charlotte’s POVAfter I stormed off from Jack I went straight to the gym, I needed to burn of some steam before I had to deal with him again. I went straight to the punching bag and grabbed a pair of gloves that were hanging up. I did not bother to get changed I just started to punch the crap out of the bag and my god did it feel good. I did not even hear Jack come, it was not until he came up behind me and started to correct my stance that I realised he was even here. I was not impressed at him coming in here and then starting to correct me. I was pissed at him and needed him to leave me alone until I cooled down, did he not understand that? Was me storming off not enough of a clue?“Try now” he told meI gave him the evils, but I did as he asked and punched the bag again. I hated the fact that he was right, I had more power in my punch, and it did not hurt my wrists as much.“Did that feel better?” He asked.My god I

Grant’s POVI tried to calm down while we all ate, but my pride was bruised, how did she managed to get a hit in without me seeing? Am I starting to get rusty? I noticed that Charlotte kept trying to get my attention and I knew I needed to stop sulking. I was supposed to be showing her how to shoot after dinner, that thought cheered me up and I finally looked up and smiled at her. How could I stay mad when she had a shiny new gun that she needed to learn how to use.“You still want to learn how to shoot after dinner?” I asked her.“As long as you are not too busy”“I will always be free to help you out” I gave her a warm smile.She returned the smile and carried on eating.“Ok Lance and Warren, I think you two are on dishes and clean up duty” Jack ordered as he stood up “I am going to do some work in my office. Grant make sure you look after my girl”“Will do boss

Charlotte’s POVWhile I was shooting, I kept thinking back about the conversation about dungeons and I could not shake the thought away that I was right. The house had plenty of doors that I had never been though, but thinking about it I am sure that they would have the door hidden. As we finished up the lesson and made our way back to the house, I started to look around figuring out where they would have this dungeon.Jack was waiting for us in the lounge when we returned “How did she go?” He asked Grant.“By the end she was hitting the bullseye 9 times out of 10”“That’s amazing” he pulled me into his arms. “We will keep up with the practice and I also want Ryan to bring in the knife training too”“Is that so that you can use me to help torture people in your dungeon?” I made sure to closely watch his reaction as I spoke. I noticed him flinch slightly and knew that I was righ

Jack’s POVI was sat in my office going though some of my less legal work, I thought I might as well get on to it while Charlotte was busy. I had received a message from one of my guards telling me that he think I have a thief among my staff. He reported that some of the stock has been going missing, I asked him to investigate and report back to me. He had just sent me images of one of my workers smuggling out drugs. I paid and treated my workers very well, so to do this was a huge insult. It looks like I would have to bring that person in and punish them. I had not used the dungeons under the house in a while, my hands were itching to inflict some pain on a deserving son of a bitch. I grinned as I called my guard.“Boss, what would you like me to do?”“When is the person next on shift?”“Tomorrow night sir”“Good, I will make sure I am waiting for him when he leaves. Find a replacement for his follow

Ryan’s POVGod, I love Charlotte’s thought patten, how could she think that we would kill her for asking questions? Does she not realise how much Jack loves her? Once we had all stopped laughing and I had removed Charlotte’s knife from the punching bag I started my training. I showed her how to hold the knife so that she could inflict the most damage without hurting herself. I also showed her what part of the body to aim for depending on what she wanted to achieve.“Sometimes you just want to inflict pain on your victim without killing them” I told her.“Yeah, that’s a skill I will need when you send me down to work in the dungeon aye”“No way, I am not letting you take away all my fun jobs” I laughed “The only things you need to worry about is how to protect yourself. Leave the messy work to us boys”She nodded her head and carried on training, I could tell that she was overth
