Rising From the Ashes 22
Ryan’s POVI could not help but tease Jack about Charlotte and I acting like we were dating. I could tell that he did not like the idea, but he also did not want Charlotte to become a target. As I walked towards the gym, I could not get rid of the smile on my face. I wondered how long it would be before he realised that he was starting to fall for Charlotte. I was the only one in the gym what was the way I liked it. I put my earphones in and started my workout playlist. Once it was cranking, I got into my circuit. By the time I was done I was covered in sweat and in drastic need of a shower. The hallway was empty, and I did not see any of the guys on the way to my room. I was tempted to check on Charlotte, but Jack was right after all she had been though she needed her sleep. I went to my room and headed straight to the shower. Once I was done, I laid on my bed and started to read until I fell asleep.I was the first one awake as usual, I made my way to the kitchen and started to cook

Charlotte’s POVI was just about to try get myself out of bed so I could go to the loo when someone knocked at my door. “Come in” I called out while pushing myself into a sitting position. A curvy blonde bomb shell walked into the room and after looking at something down the hall finally closed the door with a sigh.“Man, that guy is sex on legs” She walked over to me and held out her hand “I am Daisy, and you must be Charlotte”.“That’s me” I shook her hand and gave her a weak smile.“You are so lucky to be living in a house full of hunks”.“As soon as I can walk again, and I help them with a job they are working on I will be leaving”.“Then if I was you, I would stall” She giggled. She helped me into my chair and wheeled me into the bathroom and turned on the shower “That Jack guy is both hot and loaded” She grabbed her perfect breasts “I had to screw an ugly old dude for him to pay for these babies for me. Thankfully his wife found out, so he sent me packing. Now I love to think ho

Jack’s POVWhen I woke in the morning, I could already smell breakfast. That was one of the things I liked about Ryan, he always made sure that we had a decent breakfast before starting the day. I quickly had a shower and made my way to the kitchen. The only ones up were Ryan and Grant. I had only just arrived when someone knocked at the door. I gathered that it was the career that I had hired to went to let her in. As soon as I opened the door and saw the big breasted blonde, I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. I noticed the way she looked me up and down like I was a snack she could eat, and it made me sick.“You must be the career I hired to look after Charlotte”.“That’s me” She held her hand out to me “I am Daisy, its super nice to meet you Sir”.I ignored her hand and turned to walk away “Follow me, Charlotte should be awake, and she will need you to help her get ready” I did not bother t
Rising From the Ashes 25
Phillip’s POVI got up and acted like I was going to work. I drove to my garage and climbed into one of my other cars. I drove back to the house and watched and waited for Jane to come out. I did not need to wait long before she came out dressed in a tight red short dress. She never dressed like that, she dressed so sweet and innocent when she was around me. Had the whore been playing me? She got in her car, and I followed. She can not have even noticed me as she drove straight to a large house. She pulled up and sat in her car. I was wondering what she was waiting for, but then I saw a gorges brunet leave the house and climb into a car. As soon as the car was out of sight Jane quickly jumped out of her car and ran towards the house. So, the father of her child was married, and his wife was hot as hell, why on earth was he banging Jane? Yes, she was cute, but she was no comparison to his wife. I climbed out of the car and went to open the boot. I lifted the fake floor a

Ryan’s POV I did not trust Jack not to make Charlotte more upset, so I followed him. I followed him into the room and saw him walk over to Charlotte who was hovered over the toilet. God I was so angry at Jack, this was his doing. What the hell made him raise his voice at her, we could all see that she was already upset. I watched him wipe her face while saying something that I could not hear. He then helps her back into her chair. He turned the chair around to come back out and they both saw me. “What happened hun? Why have you been so upset this morning?” I walked over and crouched down in front of her chair “Did that woman say something to upset you?” “Its not her fault, she saw my scars and reacted the same way any sane person would act”. “What do you mean?” I tried to keep the growl out of my voice. “Look” She yelled while lifting her top showing us the scars covering her stomach and breasts “Who the fuck is ever going to find me attractiv
Rising From the Ashes 27
Charlotte’s POVI was so excited about getting my scars covered. I was not sure Grant realised how much his comment meant to me. Not the getting a stiffy part, but the part about me looking hot. After everything Phillip had put me thought I felt hideous. I liked the idea of feeling attractive again. We arrived at the office, and I saw all the women moving so that they could greet Jack when he came in. I cringed when it looked like he was going to lift me out of the car. Thankfully he pulled back and let Ryan do it. I watched as Jack walked ahead of us with Warren and Lance flanking him while Ryan pushed me behind them. I smiled at the new door guard while Ryan went to push me around Jack to get to my office.Suddenly I heard Jack raise his voice. I looked back to see what was going on. He had gone up the stairs and then turned to face everyone. “I am sick of you women throwing yourselves at me. The next women who try to come on to me will be fired”.
Rising From the Ashes 28
Jack’s POVI hated that I could not help Charlotte out of the car. Walking away from the car like I didn’t care was harder than I thought it would be. Then when I got inside and the women started flocking to me, it made me sick. I probably shouldn’t have lost my cool and told them all that I would fire them if they hit on me again, but I was just so pissed off. I had to ignore Charlotte because they would attack her if they knew I cared about her. I stomped up the stairs to my office and I could hear Lance laughing behind me. I was tempted to punch him in the face I was so angry, but he would enjoy it the sadistic bastard that he is. I tried to focus on my work, but I ended up going to the surveillance cameras and checking up on Charlotte. I do not even realise if she knew she had a camera in her office. I watched her working away, the other workers all stopped for a morning break. She did not even slow down, she could not work all day without a break.
Rising From the Ashes 29
Ryan’s POVI did not realise how much Charlotte had gotten under Jack’s skin until he basically told all the women in the office to back off or get fired. I bet if Charlotte flirted with him, he would be perfectly fine with it. I smiled as I wheeled Charlotte to her office and helped her organise her desk so that she could work comfortably. Once I was happy that she could work comfortably I walked over to the door and watched the other staff milling around while listening in to them. I was soon forgotten about, and they stated talking freely like I was not there. The things they said about Charlotte started to piss me off. They thought that she was shagging Jack. I knew that we would need to do something, or I was scared that they might actually go after her. We already had to protect her from her crazy husband, I did not want to also worry about the stupid women in the office as well. I kept glancing back at Charlotte, but she was so focused on her work I do not
