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

Charlotte’s POVLunch was amazing, well apart from Jack who kept been nice to me. His leg kept rubbing against mine and it made me feel things I did not want to feel. Jack was a player, and I was not his type, these feelings would just hurt me in the end. I tried to focus on the meal and the conversation instead, but just when I thought I was doing well he would move and his hand would brush mine, or his leg would rub against mine. By the time we were finished and leaving the restaurant I was feeling full, but also very sexually frustrated. Jack made it worse as he lifted me into the car and one of his hands rested on my arse. I was only just starting to get the feeling back, but when Jack touched me, it was like sparks shot out and went straight to my core. The drive back to the office was pure hell, or I could think about was how close Jack was to me and how good he smelt. God, I needed help, thankfully when we arrived back he had to go back to ignoring me. I let out

Jack’s POVI had not been able to keep my body to myself all lunch, after I gave her thigh a reassuring squeeze I lost all control. It was only small things, a brush of my hand against hers or my leg pushing against hers. God, I wanted her, and I prayed she did not notice the bulge in my pants when we got up to leave. The only sigh that Charlotte gave to my touching was a blush here and there. I could not help myself and I made sure to hold her arse while I lifted her into the car. Shit it felt so perfect in my hand. I was not sure if she would be able to feel it but I sure as hell enjoyed copping a feel. The drive back to the office was too short, I knew that once we arrived, I would have to act like she was nothing to me. I was just glad that I was able to watch her in the camera, that was my new dirty pleasure. We arrived at the office, and it took all my will power to walk away without looking back. Thankfully the women had all listened to my warning and not one of

Ryan’s POVAll though lunch I noticed Charlotte blushing, I looked over and saw Jacks leg pushed right against hers. Was he flirting with her? I tried to school my face, I had never seen Jack flirt. Once we were done Jack was quick to get behind her chair so that he could push her to the car. We all stopped when he got her out and his hand went and held her arse.“The sly dog” Laughed Warren as walked over to the driver’s seat.I had to agree with him, poor Charlotte was as red as a tomato. I sat next to trying to hold in my laughter. I have no idea if she realised it or not, but she was leaning towards Jack and it kind of looked like she was trying to smell him. When we arrived at the office, I noticed the sad look he gave Charlotte before he got out of the car. She would have noticed too if she was not so busy looking at her feet. I quickly got out to grab her chair.“Look after her” Jack growled at me before he walke

Phillip’s POVI left Gavin to go do the drop to his main dealer. Once I was in my car, I pulled out my phone and rang the guy who I had at the hospital last time “I need you to go to the hospital and check on that girl again”.“I will go there now boss”.I smiled to myself as I drove off to do the drop. Once I was done, I decided to go and wait for Charlottes boss and follow him. Just as I pulled up, I saw a flash hummer leaving. I saw the guard who saved Charlotte sat in the front. I guess that they are on their way to see Charlotte. I waited a bit longer and out came Charlottes boss flanked by two of his guards. As soon as they pulled out, I followed them at a safe distance. I thought that they would be heading home, but they pulled up at the bank. I was about to get out and follow them when my phone rang.“Boss she is gone”.“What the fuck do you mean gone? She cannot walk”.&ldq

Charlotte’s POVI could not believe that Jack was paying for my tattoos with a blood Harley. I know nothing about bikes, but from the way that Reece looked like he was about to cry I was guessing it was a good one. I tried to hold my breath as Jack lifted me into the car. His hand went to my arse again and I had to hold in my moan. What the hell was this man trying to do to me. Once we were all in the car Jacks phone pinged. I was so used to his phone always going off that I did not think anything off it until he started to curse.“That mother fucker is trying to find me”.“Huh?” I looked at him confused.“Your darling husband, he has just broken into my apartment that I use as my address for everything”.He was trying to find me “He knows I am out of hospital”.“Yes, and I am guessing one of the nurses must have blabbed that you left with us”.I did not know what to sa

Jack’s POVAfter I gave Reece the Harley we left, I grinned to myself as I lifted Charlotte into the car and made sure to cop a feel of her arse. I was about to start teasing her by putting my hand on her thigh when I got a notification advising me that motion had been detected on the camera’s I had in my apartment I didn’t use. I opened the app and saw Phillip walking around my apartment like he owned the place.“That mother fucker is trying to find me”. I should have known he would start to look for me sooner or later. The good thing was he was looking at me though my legal information and not my underground information.“Huh?” Charlotte looked at me with a confused look on her face.“Your darling husband, he has just broken into my apartment that I use as my address for everything”.“He knows I am out of hospital”.“Yes, and I am guessing one of the nurses must have b

Ryan’s POVIt was so amusing watching Charlotte and Jack. I noticed that Jack had left to go talk to Lance. I decided to make the most of the space I pulled out my phone and sent a group text.Ryan – So who is up for a little wager?Grant – Always, what are we betting on?Ryan – How long it takes for Charlotte to move into Jack’s roomWarren – one monthLance – Fuck man I am saying 2wksGrant – Na I think she will take things slow. I am going to say 3 months.Ryan – Ha ha like how none of you said never. I am going 2 months.I wondered what Jack and Lance had spoken about for Lance to think it would only take two weeks. He did not know Charlotte like me and I don’t think that she would let her guard down that quickly. Poor Jack was so focused on ordering dinner that he did not even realise that we were all placing bets on him and Charlotte. I smiled at him happy

Phillip’s POVOn the way to the house, I stopped off at a shop and grabbed a bottle of black hair dye. Now that the thought was in my head I had to find out. I had just pulled up at the house when the girl started to stir and sit up. I grinned as I climbed out and opened the back door just as she was sitting herself up. She looked around confused and then her eyes landed on me.“Wwwhere am I” She stammered.“You are at my house” I pulled her out of the car by her arm and dragged her towards the house.“What do you want with me?” She tried to pull away from me.“I thought that we could have some fun” I winked at her as I dragged her into the house and straight to the dining room. I sat her down on a chair and grabbed some robe I had sitting on the table and tied her up. “I first need to dye your hair, you are too blonde, and I need you to look more like my wife who had black hair” I w

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

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.

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

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

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
