Rising From the Ashes 23
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

Phillip’s POV I stayed while the doctor sedated Jane and set up the IV’s once I was happy that she was asleep and not going anywhere I left. I needed to pack up the house, she still had family that might look for her. I needed it to look like she had decided to just up and leave. The good thing about that was that she had not introduced me to her family yet. This had been her place and I had just started staying here and giving her money in cash of course. We can not have any trace back to me, I had not even given her my last name. She just knew I was Phil, and I was a plumber, she really had been a stupid bitch. Soon enough I had everything packed and Zac arrived with a moving van. We loaded everything up and took it to the same warehouse. The clothes would come in handy for some of the girls who worked for us as whores. The sweet dresses would work for the other girls that we kidnapped and sold. The buyers always liked them to look sweet and innocent. I was just about to l

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
Rising From the Ashes 208
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
