Phillip’s POV
I 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

Jack’s POVAfter we grabbed lunch we drove towards the garage, when we arrived, we all put on our street clothes and masks before climbing into a Commodore. Once we were ready Lance drove us to the warehouse. We left Warren behind to follow on foot, I needed him to take photos of who we were meeting. As soon as we pulled up a woman walked over to us.“Hi Mr King, it’s nice to meet you in the flesh.”“How did you find out about me?” I asked, I had been living two lives for years. I wanted to know how this young girl who only looked to be twenty-one figured out who I am.“The other night you were here, you walked out and took your mask off as soon as you entered your car. As you drove down the street, I recognised you.”Shit, she was right I did remove my mask as soon as I got in the car. I was such an idiot “So what do you want?”“I know that you have Phillip’s wife, and

Grant’s POVI was in my room watching and listening to Phillip, he had left the house in his car. I watched the tracker and zoomed in where it stopped, why would he leave his car in such a rundown industrial area. It made me wonder if he figured out, he had been bugged, I turned on the listening device while I started to see what businesses were in the area where his car was left. The only place that stood out was a storage garage owned by someone called Paddy Maddy. Come on that was not a real name. I found a business with a Wi-Fi camera near the building and hacked into it. I spotted Phillip straight away walking into the building. I carried on watching and soon a man on a Harley rode past. I could only assume that was Phillip, I was pissed that I could not track where he was going. I kept the listening device on, that way I would at least know when he returned back to the house without having to watch the camera. About an hour later I heard the bike return, I was jus

Charlotte’s POVAfter Jack told me he was fine with me moving in he left with Grant, leaving me with other three. “Does Jack not need you?”“He is heading home, the house is surrounded by guards” Lance laughed.“What if he gets attacking on the way?”“Grant is the best shooter I know, and Jack is just nuts. They will be fine.” Warren patted me on the head like a was a silly puppy.“If he is so good then why does he need you guys?” I argued.“Mainly for appearances, people tend to leave him alone if he has big bodyguards around him” Ryan advised as he got up to make coffees.That actually made sense, he is not the kind of guy who liked people getting close enough to touch him.“So, what kind of dress are you planning to wear to the Christmas party?” Warren asked.“A cheap one, my wages still get paid into the account that Phill

Ryan’s POVI can’t believe that Charlotte managed to fall asleep getting a tattoo, her pain level was insane. As soon as Jack noticed she was asleep he came over to her side and looked at the tattoo.“It looks amazing Reece.”“It should do for the price you paid.” He laughed “I am almost finished, then you boys can take sleeping beauty home.”“I guess we won’t be training tonight” Warren grumbled.“You never know she might wake up” Jack patted him on the back.Once Reece was done Jack quickly lifted Charlotte into his arms and made his way to the car. If she woke up in his arms, she would be so confused. “What is wrong with that man” I grumbled to myself as I grabbed the wheelchair.“He is in love for the first time, and he had no clue what to do about it. Think of it from his view, he loves a woman who is still married” Grant advised

Jack’s POVI kept trying to sneak peeks at Charlotte while Reece was working, suddenly I noticed that she had stopped talking. I walked over and noticed that she had managed to fall asleep, she would be a hard person to torture for information. Her pain tolerance must be though the roof. I looked at her tattoo closely for the first time, it was amazing. “It looks amazing Reece.”“It should do for the price you paid.” He laughed “I am almost finished, then you boys can take sleeping beauty home.”“I guess we won’t be training tonight” Warren grumbled coming up behind me.“You never know she might wake up” I tried giving him a reassuring pat on the back. I know that he loves training Charlotte.I let Reece finish up and then I lifted Charlotte into my arms. I know it had only been a day, but I missed holding her close. It felt right having her in my arms. I made my way to the car

Charlotte’s POVWarren chuckled as me as he wheeled me out of the gym and towards the kitchen. I could hear Daisy’s annoying voice, but right now I did not care.“Bacon, bacon, bacon” I chanted as Warren pushed me to my spot at the table.“I told you I would give you bacon as long as you walked both ways” Warren smiled at me as he filled a plate for me. As soon as it was in front of me, I started to dig in. I needed to eat before I had to deal with Daisy, so I chose to ignore her.“A girl should not eat that much fat” Daisy tried to tell me, I groaned internally as I looked up at her.“Good job I aren’t no lady then aye” I smiled as I shoved bacon into my mouth. No way was I letting the bitch get to me and ruin my breakfast.“How did you go this morning” Jack asked walking away from Daisy and coming to sit next to me.“Good I walked both ways, so

Jack’s POVDaisy was starting to get on my nerves, I think I would need to get Charlotte alone today and talk to her about firing Daisy. I went over and took my place next to Charlotte at the table. “How did you go this morning.”“Good I walked both ways, so now I get my bacon” She smiled up at me.“She was amazing” Warren sat down on the other side of Charlotte.“That’s my seat” Ryan grumbled as he sat down next to Lance.“I did not know we had designated spots now” Warren laughed.“We don’t but I sit next to Charlotte, I am her best friend” Ryan sulked.“And I am her trainer” Warren laughed.“Wow two handsome boys fighting over me, I feel so lucky” She fanned herself with her hand causing all of us to burst into laughter.“They obviously like their women damaged” Daisy huffed from the side.
