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

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

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

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

She dumped the bag out on the bed. “This is some of my clothes that will fit you”.“Thank you” I tried to smile as I walked over and pulled out a pair of leggings and a t-shirt.“Happy to help, now let’s go get some food and coffee into you”. She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.I reached out and grabbed Ryan’s hand on my way past. He smiled as he grabbed my phone “I am guessing Jack will have messaged you”
