Jack’s POV
I called out the number plates of three cars including the Honda. I was shocked when the culprit didn’t step forward. I had been watching and saw him nod at someone who stepped forward in his place.
“Please be aware that I have the license images that belong to the owners of each car” I growled “I will not tolerate people trying to play me” I glanced around the room and noticed that he had still not stepped forward. That was fine “Guards make sure no one leaves this room until I am finished” I turned around and left the room with the three workers. “Lance go with them and you” I pointed at the guard who had been helping me “Go and help him”
“Yes sir” He nodded as he walked off with Lance. I waited until they had gone before I spoke to Warren “I need you to make sure no one leaves this room, if they do warn them to go back. If they keep coming, then shoot them&rdq

Grant’s POVI opened my camera and started to check up on the Doc, he seemed relaxed watching the rugby on TV and having a beer and eating a frozen pizza. I went thought the old footage and he was just relaxing and seemed to be enjoying him time on his own. I guess after all he had been though he needed some time out to just chill. I was just about to turn off my laptop and include myself in the conversation the others were having when Jack rang me.“I need you to run the plates and get a picture of the licence for a red Honda civic licence HHD158” He started talking without even bothering to say hello.“Hi Jack, how are you” I grumbled as I started to look up the information for him.“Wanting solid proof before I go inside” He grumbled back.“Licence has been sent to your phone” I told him.“Thank you, can you make sure you get dinner for you guys. I don’t want Charlotte goin

Jack’s POVWe arrived home and Warren opened the boot and we all had to step back and cover our noses. The guys had pissed and shit himself.“That’s disgusting” Lance groaned as he helped Warren pull him out.“Please, I am sorry” The guy begged.“Mate you just soiled my car, that alone warrants punishment” I growled as I waved over one of my other guards. “Can you get one of the juniors to clean this” I gagged motioning to the boot.The poor guard turned a bit green as he nodded as he and walked away.“Get him to the cell and hosed down” I ordered, he fucking stinks.“God I am going to need to scrub myself clean after this” Lance gagged “In all the years I have been doing this sort of work, not once has someone pissed and shit themselves because they were locked in a boot”“Obviously he only knows how to act tough when really h

Charlotte’s POVIt was nice to hang out with Reece again and get more work done to my tattoos, but my mind kept going back to what Jack was up to. Was he using the dungeon under the house? Ryan was a good distraction and he hardly shut up. He was trying to buy a suit online for the work party while Grant and Reece were telling him that was a bad idea and he needed to go in and try one on. I chuckled as I listened to them, I agreed with Grant and Reece. He was too bulky to not go and try it on first.“You need to listen to the guys” I told him.“Argh, fine” He groaned “Will you at least come shopping with me then? Give me a girl’s opinion” “As if you even need to ask” I told him.“How are you coping?” Reece asked me.“Fine, why what time is it?”“Still early” He glanced at his watch “9”“Still, plenty of

Jack’s POVBy the time we were finished with Jessie for the night, he was missing half a thumb, 1 hand, 1 leg, 1 ear and 1 testicle. He kept drifting in and out of conciseness due to the blood loss. I was not ready for him to die on me yet, so I called in a Doc I had on the payroll. I checked the time and started to panic when I saw it was midnight. I did not want Charlotte to see me before I got cleaned up. My Doc arrived and I told him to patch Jessie up so that he did not die overnight. Once Charlotte went back to see Reece I would come back down here. I might even let Warren and Lance go with her this time so that Ryan and Grant could have some fun.I watched the doc dress Jessies wounds while casting me worried looks “Don’t worry Doc, unless you steal from me and lie to me, I won’t let this happen to you”“He stole from you?”“Yes, and then tried to get someone else to take the fall by threatening to hu

Ryan’s POVI felt like I was falling behind, all the others had a suit to wear to the work party and I had nothing. I had been looking online but I had no idea how to measure myself to make sure it would fit. I had been venting all of this while Charlotte was getting her tattoo. Grant and Reece were fully against be buying a suit online, but I don’t want to go shopping on my own. I need someone to let me know if I look like a plonker or not.“You need to listen to the guys” Charlotte piped up.“Argh, fine” I Groaned “Will you at least come shopping with me then? Give me a girl’s opinion” “As if you even need to ask” She smiled at me, and I could not help but return it. Hopefully Jack would be ok with her coming shopping with me. We all know how protective he can be. I started to scroll though my phone looking for suit stores when I noticed that Charlotte had not spo
Rising From the Ashes 164
Grant’s POVOnce Charlotte and Ryan started to talk about shopping, I quietly removed myself and walked back to my laptop. I wanted to check on what Jack and the others were up to, thankfully we had cameras set up all around the dungeon. I quickly logged in and saw them dragging him into the room. I always enjoyed watching people break and spill. Turns out the guy was a gambling addict, still no excuse for stealing from someone though. I watched Jack play with him while making him gamble with body parts. It was a good way to teach him that gambling is bad, not that he would live to learn from the lesson. Ryan came to join and laughing that Charlotte was asleep, I had a huge respect for her high pain tolerance. I wondered how she would cope getting tortured, not that I ever would harm her, but it was an interesting thought to ponder over. I filled Ryan in on what he had missed, and we carried on watching together. When Jack finished up, we went and woke Charlotte up to s

Jack’s POVI woke up and realised that Charlotte was no longer in my arms. I sat up just as the bathroom door opened and she walked out in just a towel. I noticed the bags under her eyes instantly.“Are you ok hun? You look like you did not sleep a wink”She blushed as she looked down at her feet. “Don’t worry about me” She quickly walked over to the wardrobe and disappeared.What the hell? I quickly climbed out of bed and followed her “I will always worry about you, talk to me” I spun her around to face me.“I just feel like you keep me in the dark, and I know that you should as some of the stuff you do is bad, but then my mind starts going over time trying to figure out what you are hiding, and it won’t stop” She blurted out.“I am happy to tell you everything, I thought you didn’t want to know”“I don’t and I do, Argh I am such a mess&rd
Rising From the Ashes 166
Charlotte’s POVMy mind was all over the place, I had spent most of the night wondering what Jack was keeping from me. Was it really a thief he had in the dungeon or was it someone else? Maybe it was not even a real dungeon, but a sex dungeon and he had another woman down there. I didn’t really believe that though as he had been so sweet when we made love before he fell asleep. Maybe it was Phillip, and he just didn’t want to tell me?I finally gave up trying to sleep and got out of bed and had a shower. Jack was still fast asleep, so I decided to let him be. I was hoping that the shower would have helped me feel a bit more human, but I still felt dead when I climbed out and went back to the bedroom to get dressed. I noticed that Jack was sitting up in bed with a confused look on his face. I could not blame him, it was usually him who was awake before me on a morning. I noticed him observing me and wanted to run away and hide. All the men were too goo
