I was starting to worry about Charlotte, breakfast was ready and she had still not come out of her room yet.
“Fill a plate for Charlotte and make her a coffee” I called to Grant “I am going to go get her up, I know she will want to eat and get a workout in before the mega bitch arrives” I ran off to Charlotte’s room, I didn’t bother to knock and instead just ran in. I found her just about to get out of bed, I quickly lifted her up and placed her in her chair. “Come on lazy bones, we need to get you fed before that bitch Daisy gets here”.
Charlotte laughed the whole way to the kitchen, and it was like music to my ears. I pushed her to her spot at the table.
“Once you eat, we will go and quickly do another work out. I want to get you lifting both legs” Warren sat down beside her.
“I don’t get why you cannot be the one to help me get dressed on a morning and a nig

Jack’s POVGod she was magnificent, watching her manage to lift her legs for Warren. I noticed that she kept looking over at. It made me frigging hard, and it was not easy to do my workout. I was relieved when Warren finally left with her. I finished up my workout and went back to my room to shower and relieve myself so I might actually manage to get some sleep tonight. I was just about to climb into bed when my phone went off. I looked down at the screen and groaned as I climbed back out of bed and threw on some pants. I walked to my office where Grant was waiting for me.“I think I have his location boss, if you are ok, I can go and scope it out tomorrow and place some bugs and cameras”.“Be careful, he is not as relaxed as Phillip. Gavin is a paranoid prick”.“You know me boss, I might as well be invisible. No one ever sees me”“I know but been cocky in this line of work will get you killed. You ar

Warning this chapter has some very dark and violent scenes. You can skip this chapter without taking away from the main story line. Phillip’s POV I decided to show my little visitor the rest of my house, I needed to show her my favourite room. I had spent the night fucking all her holes. By the time I was finished she was covered in my semen, and she begged me for a shower. Bless her, as if I would do anything that she wanted. Instead, I left her in the room alone and retired to my room to have a decent night sleep. Now I was revitalised and ready to have some more fun. As soon as I opened the bedroom door she curled up in a ball. I laughed as I walked over and grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out of the room. She screamed and begged me to let her go, while I laughed at her. I dragged her into the room and strapped her to the chair. She looked up at me and then observed the room, I watched her as I saw the look of horror and then panic cross her face. This was

Charlotte’s POV“What plan” I asked Daisy when she came to get me out of the shower.“Now I can not tell you that, if I do you might try and stop it” He pushed me into the bedroom and started to get me dressed. She quickly braided my hair before pushing me back to the kitchen “I will tell you this though, soon you will not be the only women in this house”.I was about to ask her what the hell she meant when Ryan walked over to me “Come on hun lets go get you in the car” He handed me a coffee and a sandwich, and I could not help but feel warm inside. Jack maybe a total twat, but Ryan would always have my back.“Oh my god have I told you how much I love you” I took a sip of my coffee and was in heaven. He pushed me out to the car and lifted me into my seat. I put my seat belt on and was shocked when the passenger door opened, and Jack climbed in. Why was he sitting in the front? I was about t

Ryan’s POV We pulled up at the office and I went to get Charlotte’s chair out of the boot. I was shocked when I came back around, and Lance was carrying Charlotte and placed her in her chair. Warren was stood beside the car not moving. I glanced at Jack who looked between them with a smirk on his face. He knew that they were helping Charlotte as a big fuck you to him and the way he had been treating her. I had never been so proud to work with them, Jack may not know how to sort his shit out but the rest of us would show Charlotte how much we care. After what she had been though she needed to know that she had people in her court. “You guys need to remember that you work for Jack not me”. She mumbled while looking down at her lap. “Jack needs to realise that he is pissing us all of with the way he is treating you” “I don’t want you guys to get in trouble”. “Don’t worry, we won’t get in trouble. We have a very close relationship with Jack, he va

Jack’s POVCharlotte told Ryan that she loved him, I know it was just in passing and because he made her a coffee and breakfast. Yet it still hurt, I wanted her to say that to me. That was not going to happen though as I was being an arse and pushing her away. I hated that I was hurting her, but I needed to keep her at arm’s length until we had Phillip. As I walked towards the car and saw Ryan placing her in the back seat, I made the decision that I would sit in the front. I knew that when I moved away from her that I hurt her. This way she won’t get hurt, I climbed into the front and did not bother to look back at Charlotte or at my men. I just sat and waited until they were all in the car. Lance climbed into the back with Charlotte while Warren climbed into the driver’s seat.“Wow I think Daisy might have been right, seeing me sweaty really does make me repulsive to men. At least I still have two men who like me”. I felt sick to th

Charlotte’s POVRyan came to get me when it was home time with Grant beside him. Grant went behind me to push me while Ryan stood in front with his hand on his hip. It looked like he was holding onto a gun, why would he have a gun when we were just going to get my tattoo? I watched them both as they pushed me to the truck, both of them were looking around a lot and I noticed Ryan also had his hand holding something near his hip. I waited until I was in the car, and they started to drive then I had to ask. “Are you both carrying guns?”They both looked at me in shock “We always have guns on us, its part of our job to know how to shoot. We are bodyguards you know” Grant advised from the driver seat.“I guess, but you guys both seem more on edge for some reason. Has something happened? Do you need to stay here to protect Jack?”“Jack is not in the office, he left earlier to go and meet someone. We are not sure

Phillip’s POVI pulled up a couple of blocks away from the warehouse and walked. I never thought about someone bugging my car or my house. Was Charlotte’s boss really that well connected and smart? He looked so straight, I could not see him knowing how to break the law. As soon as I arrived a woman came out to meet me. I was in shock, I did not do business with women, they had one use and one use only. To be used and abused, I turned around and started to walk away.“Wait Phillip, I can help you get your wife back. I want payback on that bastard Jack and taking Charlotte away from him is the perfect way to do it.”“What on earth can you do the help me?”“I can get close to Jack and distract him giving you an opening to get her back.”“How?”“First, I need to make him trust me and wiggle my way in, feed him little bits of information. Then when he is least expecting it, you com

Ryan’s POVI could not remember the last time I was this alert, all I could think about was that son of a bitch trying to get Charlotte. When Grant finally came in to collect Charlotte to take her to her tattoo appointment I almost ran up and hugged him.“God I am so happy to see you, how does it look from outside?”“Nothing unusual at all, I have been tracking Phillip and his car has been parked in the same place for a while. I have a feeling he might have left it there and is using a bike, as I heard a Harley though the bugs I places around his house.”“Well, that will be easy enough to hear when he leaves again.”“He seems to be busy with his new toy last time I listened in.”“Do I dare ask?”“No, just be thankful it’s not Charlotte as I have a feeling, he did worse to her.”“Sick fuck.”“Agreed, now let’s go ge

Ryan one that bet so one the money that Charlotte got from Phillip and Gavins bank accounts. As for the sex we decided not to find out, so the men are all waiting eagerly. Charlotte told Grant that she did not want the property from Phillip. We have the farm to Doc who is living happily on his own. 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

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
