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

Charlotte’s POVSurprising I slept very well, I was woken up in the morning to someone banging on the door. In my sleep deprived state, I moaned for Jack to get it. I then came crashing to my senses and realised I was not with Jack. I was staying with Grace, I sighed as I dragged myself out of bed and went to open the door. Ryan was stood looking angrily at Grace who had been the one to bang on my door.“I told her not to wake you” He grumbled.“But its my house and I don’t need to listen to you” She laughed as she pushed past me and entered my room with a huge bag. 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”

Ryan’s POVI woke up early and went to wait outside Charlottes room for when she woke up. I gathered that she would not have had a good night sleep, so I planed on leaving her to wake up on her own. Then Grace came out of her room and walked over to me grinning.“What are you standing around for stud?”“I am waiting for Charlotte to wake up”“Want to wait in my room?” She winked at me.“My job is to keep Charlotte safe, so I would prefer to stand here and wait for her to wake up”“Do you like her?”“What do you mean?”“Do you fancy her?”“What? No, we are friends, and she is with my boss”“Is she though?”“Yes, she is, she is just angry at him and that is fully understandable as I am also angry at him”“You are a big sweetheart” She chuckled “I will be back soon, I need to grab some clothes for her to wear” She gave me a small wave as she went back to her room.I had to admit she was cute in a crazy kind of way.It did not take her long to come back carrying a big bag. She placed it o

Charlotte's POVWe bought the tests that Ryan chose and headed back to the car.“I hope you need to pee” Grace giggled “I am so excited for you”“Lets just get back to your place first” I told her. I was not sure how I felt about the whole thing yet. As soon as we got back Grace dragged me back to my room and pushed me into, the bathroom.“We will wait out here” she told me as she shut the doorI glared at the closed door for a few minutes before finally walking towards the toilet and opening the package to read the instructions. So, from the look of it I just needed to pee on the stick and wait. I pulled out the first test and pissed on it like it said, I then put in on the vanity to wait. I swear that three minutes lasted for eternity. I kept glancing at my phone waiting for the time to be up. Finally, the three minutes were up, and I walked over the check the test. I stood frozen as I looked at it, I quickly pulled out the instructions to check that I was reading it right. I left t

Jack’s POVAfter we had breakfast, we headed over to Phillips warehouses. It was time for his staff to know that they had new bosses effective immediately. I was expecting more fight, but it turns out he paid his staff shit and treated them even worse. Most of them were happy that I was taking over. Grant had the job of moving all of Phillips and Gavins houses and bank accounts into Charlottes name. Once that was done, she can choose what she wants to do with them. Thankfully since I was so busy I did not have time to dwell on the fact that Charlotte was not waiting for me at home.By the end of the weekend, Charlotte was not the proud owner of eleven cars, five houses and six million dollars.

I had spent the last few hours going though and finding all the bank accounts, properties and cars that were in Phillips and Gavins names and moving them all into Charlottes. The wife who I discovered was called Rose sent me a picture of her sat on a nice beach somewhere. I assumed she was fine and moving on with her life.
