Rising From the Ashes 190
Phillip’s POVLife was perfect, I got to destroy the thing growing inside Jane. I had expected it to hurt her the most, but I was wrong, once the baby died the wife broke down and cried. Jane tried to comfort her telling her that she will have another baby for her.“Like fuck you will” I laughed “Doc, remove her womb”“What! No please” the wife cried “She is my chance to have a baby, please I will do anything just leave her womb”I knelt in front of her so that I was eye level “Do I look like the kind of guy who does what a woman asks?”“Please” She sobbed.“No” I smirked as Doc started to perform the surgery.Once it was done the wife lost all the fight in her, she let me do whatever I liked, and I loved it. If I told her to bend over and wiggle her arse while barking like a dog, she would fucking do it.I spent most of the next few days with the wife, Jane had lost her appeal. I made her do the clean up or warm the wife up for me if I just wanted a quick fuck. I was now counting dow

Grant’s POVWhile Charlotte was up in her room getting ready the rest of us had a meeting in Jack’s office.“I have sent you all the location of the warehouse where Phillip will take Charlotte” I told them “I have guards who will advise me as soon as she arrives and will make sure that she is unharmed”“Do we have any idea what Hannah has planned that will cause Charlotte to leave alone?” Ryan asked.“No” I told him “All we can do is make sure that the plan goes off without a hitch. What ever happens we let her leave” I told him. Ryan was the one I was worried might mess the plan up trying to save Charlotte.“Fine, I am going to go see if she is ready” He grumbled as he left.“I am going to go check the warehouse and then I will meet you all at the party” I told them as I left. I wanted to make the final checks. Zac had informed me that Phillip would not be there as he wanted to get to the party early so he could see Charlotte arrive. Jack had not been happy about that, but he would h

Jack’s POVAfter the meeting in my office, I felt scared, I know that Grant had everything sorted and I trusted him. I just didn’t like the idea of letting my girl back in the custody of that prick. After Ryan and Grant left, I told Warren and Lance to go get the car ready. Once I had the office to myself, I steadied myself with a couple of deep breaths and then I went out to meet Charlotte and Ryan. Charlotte had just come out of her room and was spinning around for him.“How do I look” She asked him“Stunning as always” He chuckled.“What about me?” I asked as I pulled her into my arms. I was not sure how I was going to let her go tonight.“Where are the others?” She asked.“Grant had to go check some things and is going to meet us there and I think Warren and Lance have gone to get the car out” Ryan told her.“I am so excited about getting to dance with you all” She grinned “Can you be my first dance?” She asked Me.“Would I ever say no to you” I chuckled. I could not wait to dance

Charlotte’s POVDancing with the men was so much fun, but after Lance spinning me around, I needed to go to the lady’s room. I quickly told Ryan where I was going and then wandered off, I thought it was odd when I heard groaning. I glanced over my shoulder and stopped in shock, I must have made some kind of noise as Jack looked over his shoulder and looked right at me. I quickly turned around and ran out of the exit. I realised my mistake when I heard someone right behind me and my face was suddenly covered with a cloth.After that everything went black, and I woke up to someone whispering in my ear. “Time to wake up”I tried to focus as I realised, I was tied to a chair and looked to be in a warehouse or factory of some kind and my ex-husband was right in front of me “Phillip, long time no see”.“I missed you” he sighed as he started to play with my hair, he always did seem to like my hair. After this maybe I go and get it all cut off.“Then why did you tie me up?” I asked him sweetl

Phillip’s POVWhen Gavin turned up, I knew it was time to start the party, what I was not expecting was for Charlotte to manage to free herself. How the hell did she manage to get free, I know that I tied the knots tight. Then she threw a fucking throwing star at his throat and killed him, I was in shock. What the hell had Jack done to her? She was so sweet and now she was killing people with out even flinching.I finally came to my senses and grabbed my gun, I was planning on shooting her in the hand or foot. I just wanted to hurt her, not kill her. She had other plans and thew another throwing star at my hand causing me to drop my gun. My hand felt like it was on fire, I tried to get the star out and she came over and pushed me into a chair and forced my hands behind my back and cuffed me. Shit, I needed to get my head in the game. I had not thought that she would fucking fight back.“Now the hunter has become the prey” Charlotte started to laugh hysterically, and I almost pissed my
Rising From the Ashes 195
Ryan’s POVI could not believe I had punched Jack in the face, but I was just so mad at him. My mind was all over the place as I drove to the warehouse address Grant had given us all earlier. Suddenly I heard a bike and looked to the side to see Grant signalling for me to pull over. I nodded my head at him as I pulled over.“We need to be careful” Grant told me once he got off his bike. “We need to make sure Gavin is there before we arrive”“How are we going to know that? I don’t like leaving her there when she is so upset. She won’t be thinking straight”“My guards will not let anything happen to her” Grant reassured me.“Warren just messaged me” Lance walked over “Turnes out Hannah drugged Jack, they have locked her in the cells and Warren is making Jack have a shower before he goes to the warehouse”“He should stay the fuck away” I growled.“He was drugged man, it was Hannah’s plan. He will be hating himself enough as it is without us joining in” Grant tried to reason with me.“He

Grant’s POVI stayed behind with Lance while Ryan went into the warehouse “Fuck” I groaned once he was inside.“I know, Jack will be pissed about him punching him”“He only did was all of us wanted to do”“That’s true, it’s funny how much we all came to love her in such a short space of time”“Do you think that Charlotte will forgive him?”“I have no idea, but I really hope so. He loves her so much”“Speak of the devil” Lance laughed as Warren pulled up with Jack in the passenger seat.“Is she ok?” Jack asked as soon as he reached us.“I doubt that” I told him “She just saw the man she loves cheating on her and then her insane husband kidnapped her”“I was drugged” He sighed. “Let’s go get her” He mumbled as he led the way to the warehouse. As soon as we entered, we all stopped as Charlotte had been walking towards the exit with Ryan, Zac and his sister.“I need a shower” Charlotte was complaining,“Then let’s get you home” Jack told her.She stopped walking “I am not going home with
Rising From the Ashes 197
Jack’s POVOnce the guard brought me a car, I got Warren to cuff Hannah and throw her in the back while I climbed into the passenger seat.“Sir you should be in the back”“I am not going anywhere near that bitch” I growled.“You were not saying that a few minutes ago” she purred.“Is drugging men the only way you can get laid” I laughed at her “Your so fucked that no man will go near you when he is sober”“Fuck you” She spat.I ignored her and looked out the window, I hated not knowing how Charlotte was. Grant was the only one who had contact with the guards, and he went off with Ryan and Lance. Fuck I was pissed at Ryan, he had punched me in the fucking face. No one dared hit me, and now one of my own men did. To be honest though could I really blame him? I know that he cared about Charlotte, and I was an idiot and hurt her. I groaned as we pulled up at the house and Warren grabbed Hannah and started to carry her to the cells. I quickly ran to mine and Charlottes room to have a quick

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
Rising From the Ashes 211
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
Rising From the Ashes 209
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
Rising From the Ashes 207
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.

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
