Charlotte’s POV
All Jack had to do was wash me and my whole body relaxed, the last thing I remember was him carrying me to the bed and putting a t-shirt over my head. Then it was morning, and he was talking about phoning in sick. I wish I could agree with him and stay here in bed all day, but I knew that I needed to get the Christmas card design finished today and sent to the printer. I should have already done it by now, but Jack is quite the distraction when I am trying to concentrate. Also today was Friday, that meant tomorrow I would be spending most of the day with Reece getting my tattoo work done. I climbed out of bed, leaving Jack behind complaining.
“I am the boss, I should be able to make you stay home with me”
“I have work I need to finish, and I need you there to approve it before I send it off to the printers”
“Fine” He grumbled as he dragged himself out of bed and followed me into the wardrobe. He wa
Grant’s POV“Message her and arrange a meeting place” I told Jane“Ok” She pulled out her phone and I stood right behind her so I could watch “Can you not watch me”“Do you want me to take you or not? I am making sure you are not fucking me over” I growled“Argh fine” She huffed as she sent the message.She got a reply instantly with an address “Are you find staying here while I dispose of her?” I asked Doc.“It’s not like I have anywhere else to go” He grumbled “I have a fucking target on my back”“I will be back to talk after I get rid of her” I pointed in Jane’s direction and then walked to the hallway to grab out a spare bike helmet and a blindfold. “Turn around” I ordered her.“Wait” She stepped back “Why do you have that?”“Because I am not going to
Phillip’s POVI had been stuck in this damn bed for three days now and it was driving me insane. Zac came to see me each day to bring me food and let me know how the plans for Charlottes abduction were going.As I was laid in in the hospital bed feeling sorry for myself, I had a visitor. It seemed that the hacker that Zac found for me had continued working for me.“Sir, I have some information that might cheer you up”“Then you better start speaking as I feel like shit” I groaned.“It turns out that the girl is no longer with Mr Kings men”“What?” I sat up “Did they kick her out?”“No sir, it seems that she left to meet up with a woman”“Describe the woman to me”I listened as he perfectly described the wife of the baby’s father “Keep tracking them for me while I recover, don’t let anyone know what you are doing. I
Jack’s POVI was shocked when Charlotte agreed to me choosing her outfit for the day. I had bought her a very short dress, it was going to fit her like a glove and show off all her perfect curves. As soon as she slipped it over her head, I was instantly hard. God I was not going to be able to keep my hands off her today. I decided that I would give her an hour to get her work done, after that I would no longer be holding back. I kept teasing her during breakfast, I just wanted to keep my hand warm by burring it between her legs. I was so focused on her and that dress that I was shocked when she suddenly asked where Grant was. I had not even noticed he was not here.“That’s right, I was supposed to tell Jack” Ryan turned to me “Grant had to go out last night and he said if he did not make it for breakfast that he would not be able to scope out the office before you arrive”“Did he say where he was going?” I asked.
Charlotte’s POVI had never been so self-conscious in my life. I could feel all the women in the office staring at me as I walked in. I was the one who never wanted to bring attention to myself and made sure to wear the long baggy clothing that hid my figure and before Jack my scars and bruises. As we were walking up to Jacks office, he reminded me that I had an hour. Fuck, nothing like putting the pressure on. I am surprised he behaved himself in the car, but then again Ryan was sat on the other side of me.As soon as I made it inside the office I raced to my desk and got started. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I realised that Warren and Lance had come to stand in the doorway and that they had left the door open. That meant that Jack should behave, I didn’t think he would try anything while they were here to see. It did not take me long to finish the Christmas card template and email it though to Jack for approval. I glanced up at him and saw he had
Ryan’s POVI was in shock when Charlotte came down the stairs, she looked smoking. I am not sure what she was thinking, but she clearly let Jack pick her outfit this morning.“Bloody hell you look hot as” I whistled “I am guessing you let Jack choose your outfit today”“Ok, I am going to go get changed” Charlotte blushed as she turned around but Jack blocked her way.“No, you’re not” He grinned at her “You’re the one who won’t stay home and have a sick day with me, so this is the alternative”“I am going to work to get work done for you” she told him as she groaned and sat down.“I think you are the only worker in history who would choose to go to work when her boss offers her the day off” I chuckled.“I have to get the card design finished” She tried to explain.“You don’t need to explain to
Grant’s POVI left the Doc in a better mood, he had faith that we would deal with Phillip and then he could be free again. By the time I got home in was 3am and I was shattered. I had a quick shower and then fell into bed. I did not even hear the others get up and leave for the office. By the time I woke up I realised that the others would be at the office by now. I checked my phone and saw a message from Jack asking me to swing by the office and give him an update on last night. I quickly got dressed and hopped in my truck. I had just arrived at the office when my phone pinged. I looked down and saw I had a message for Ryan. I opened it and I was shocked, how did he manage to find the rat in an office fun of women? I looked around and noticed that she was sat close to the kitchen. I needed to get Ryan away so he could tell me how he found her.“Should you not be at your post?” I growled.“Sorry boss” He grumbled back as he made his way to the door with me follo
Phillip’s POVAfter I hung up from Gavin, I laid on the bed stewing over what he said. I work closely with Zac every day, he never leaves his house to form a relationship with any of the guards. If he went to the warehouse, they would probably not even know who he is. Suddenly my phone pinged, I wondered who could be sending me a message, Zac and Gavin are the only people who I usually speak to and they both know that I can not see at the moment. I was about to call out for the Doc to read the message when my phone started to ring. I managed to answer it and I was shocked when it was Hannah calling me.“Did you see the picture I just sent you?”“No, I currently have bandages over my eyes”“Why?”“That would be none of your business”“True sorry”“Explain what was in the picture you sent me”“It was a picture of your wife, wearing a very short dr
Jack’s POVGrant left my office advising me that he was going to go and check out the guards at the warehouse.“Not going to ask” Charlotte chuckled as I looked back at her computer.What the hell did she think she was doing? She was mine now “Ok Warren and Lance, I need you to go out and get everyone lunch and make sure to take your time”.“You want us to leave you unprotected?” Warren asked me shocked.“Not at all, I would like you to make sure that the door to my office is locked before you leave. I have my gun and Ryan is on the door if anything happens”“Are you at least going to let us know what you want to eat?” Lance asked with a smirk.“Do you remember that burger place we went to near the wharf that time?”“You mean the one that is an hour and a half away?” Lance looked at me in shock“That’s the one” I g
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
