2024-10-29 19:42:56Phillip’s POV
I 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”.

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

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 POVAfter texting Ryan I fell into a restless sleep, was he right and Jack did like me? After tossing and turned for what felt like forever, I finally fell asleep only to be woken up by Warren shaking me.“Wake up sleeping beauty its time to train” He pulled back the covers and placed me in my chair. I looked down and realised that I was only in a singlet, and you could see all my scars.“Wait I need to put a long top on”.“You will get hot and none of us care about your scars, you are beautiful and have a smoking figure. If I liked girls, I would be trying to bang you” Warren laughed as he pushed me out of the room and towards the gym. We passed Ryan in the kitchen who looked up at us in shock.“Why are you guys up to early” He called out to us.“To the gym for training” Warren called back without even slowing down. As soon as we arrived, he squatted down in front

Jack’s POVGod, I loved having Charlotte fall asleep on me. Twice now it had happened, and I felt over the moon. After all she had been though to feel safe enough to fall asleep on me was amazing. After Daisy took her away, I retired to my room for the night. I was glad that Charlotte did not notice the huge boner she had caused me. I went straight to the shower and pleasured myself while thinking about her sitting on my lap and riding me. I left the shower with a smile on my face and climbed into bed, and I slept like a baby.I woke up in a happy mood and made my way down to the gym, I missed my workout last night because I didn’t want to distract Charlotte. I noticed Ryan was already in the kitchen on the way past. “Oh, you will get to see how Charlotte is getting on, her and Warren just went to the gym. Breakfast will be ready in about an hour” He called out to me.I could not hide my smile as I quickened my steps towards the gym. I sp

Charlotte’s POVI felt like such an idiot, I made it to my room and instantly went to the French doors leading to the courtyard. I needed to get some fresh air and sort out my thoughts. As soon as I was outside the dams broke and the tears started to flow. I didn’t realise how much I had fallen for Jack until I saw him with another women. Daisy told me that she was going to have him, and I guess she was right. I wiped away my tears just as I head my bedroom door open and close. I quickly wiped away the rest of my tears and spun around. I was shocked when I saw Jack, I thought it would have been one of the other guys coming to get me. Why was Jack here? Should he not be up in his room shagging Daisy? I thought a saw a look of regret in Jack’s eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared.“Come on we are about to leave” He turned around and left.I sat frozen, he was so cold and emotionless. He reminded me of the Jack I knew before

Ryan’s POVHe broke her, I saw the look on Charlotte’s face when she saw Daisy coming on to Jack and he didn’t push her away straight away. By the time he did push her away Charlotte had already left. I wanted to punch him in the face for hurting Charlotte, but right now I had to show the dog out.“This way” I growled as I grabbed her arm.“Ow stop you are hurting me”.“And you fucking deserve it you stupid whore” I pushed her out of the door and slammed it in her face making sure I engaged the lock before I walked back to the kitchen. I was shocked when Jack was already walking towards me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side.“I need to distance myself from Charlotte until Phillip is dead. She is not going to understand, but I need you to let her know I am not mad or anything. I just need to focus and get this job done”.“You like her”.“I do

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

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

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
