Phillip’s POV
I 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

Charlotte’s POVAfter our second round I was happily sedated, I sat on Jack’s lap while his hand running up and down my naked back.“I should probably get dressed before the guys get back” I chuckled.Jack looked at his watch and groaned “Your right”I climbed off his lap and quickly put on my bra and dress, I went to reach into him top draw to remove my panties.“What are you doing?” He growled at me.“Getting my underwear” I growled back.“Nope they stay right where they are”“You expect me to work the rest of the day in a dress this short with no knickers on?”He gave me an evil look “Yes” He picked him his phone while I stormed back to my desk “Looks like we might have to take you home to get changed anyway. I just got a message from Reece asking if you are free for a session with him tonight”“I t

Ryan’s POVI didn’t like the idea of us just watching Charlotte on the night of the party, my gut was telling me that Hannah was going to do something to Jack and upset Charlotte. I just could not figure out what, Jack is a smart man, and he would not let anyone fool him. I also know that he would never do anything to hurt Charlotte, even if it meant that we didn’t get to Phillip. He cares about her too much to hurt her.Grant left me at the door as he went up to update Jack on the Doc and Jane. That was another thing that did not sit right with me. We should be focusing on Charlotte and Phillip, not taking in strays.It did not take Grant long to come back and start to update me on what happened last night. I was kind of glad that Jane was now on her own. Doc could be useful, Jane would just be an inconvenience. Just as Grant was about to leave Lance and Warren came out, I looked behind them shocked that I could not see Jack or Charlotte &ldqu
