Grant’s POV
Fuck Lance, how did he always win when we placed bets. I dreaded thinking about what he would make us do this time. Ryan was safe as he got them leaving within the half an hour, but now that I thought about it that was cheating as he saw her jacking Jack off. If we have known that we would have all known that they would leave and shag. I was happy that Jack had found someone, and they he was making Charlotte happy. I would probably risk my job and kill him if he hurt her, she was too sweet to be hurt anymore. I was glad that I had found out about Zac, I wanted to make sure that Phillip paid for everything that he put Charlotte though.
Reece was doing amazing on Charlotte’s legs, by the time the session was done her legs were finished.
“Do you want to start on your arms next session?” he asked.
“Yes please, I would like to get all the scars that people can see done first. Then we can move on to the ones that are hi
Jack’s POVI had just spent the whole day with Charlotte, I should be wanting some space but as I walked away from her and the guys I wanted to turn around and go back to her. I forced myself to keep walking and went to my room or our room. I sat on the bed with my head in my hands, what was wrong with me. Fuck it I would go have a workout, it had nothing to do with the fact that Charlotte was working out. Well, that’s what I was telling myself. I quickly got changed and made my way to the gym. I arrived at the same time as Grant.“Going for a workout boss?” he asked.“Shut up” I growled at him, I hated how weak I was being. I walked into the gym and quickly spotted Charlotte walking along with Warren beside her encouraging her. I quickly walked over to the weights bench beside her and started to rack up some weights while watching her. I noticed Ryan and Grant running side by side on the treadmills. Lance was over in the corn
Charlotte’s POVWatching Ryan and Grant fight was terrifying, I had no idea that they could both fight like that. I honestly thought something had happened and they were truly fighting each other. So, between that, getting my tattoo, worrying about Jacks feelings for me and my training with Warren I was feeling exhausted. When Jack started to wash my hair, I could feel my body starting to relax, then when he moved on to my body massaging as he washed, I was a goner. I tried to stay awake as he wrapped me in a towel and carried me to bed. I wanted to have sex again, but as much as I tried, I could not stay awake. I knew I had failed when I woke up wrapped in his arms wearing one of his t-shirts. Today was Sunday and I did not have any tattoo sessions planned for today. I did want to get some training in with Warren though. The Christmas party was fast approaching, and I needed to be able to dance with the guys. I glanced over at Jack who was still sleeping, he had said t
Ryan’s POVI was in shock when Charlotte came into the kitchen walking. Jack had his arm around her waist to support her, but she was still walking. I put a plate full of food in front of her and smiled. I watched Jack casting small smiles at her while she ate, who would have thought that the big bad king would fall for someone as sweet as Charlotte. Once breakfast was finished Charlotte carefully walked over and started to help me clean away the dishes.“Sit down hun, I can do this”.“No, I need to start helping around here, also I want to try walking around on my own and not using my chair”.“Fair enough, just don’t overdo it”.“Ok I need to go check out this shipment, who wants to come with me and who wants to stay with Charlotte?” Jack asked.“I think Lance and I should stay with her since you guys got to go to the tattoo” Warren grinned at me as he wrapped his arm o
Jack’s POVI hated leaving Charlotte at home, but I was not willing to bring her into this world. It was bad enough that I told her what was going on. I just wanted to get the shipment sorted quickly so that I could get back home to her. I knew that she would be safe with Warren and Lance, but I missed her. Sniper the president of the Dark Horses was waiting with some of his men when we arrived. I walked past them into the warehouse, I nodded to my men, and they walked us over to the shipment. I let Sniper check it over, I trusted that my men would have checked it so make sure it was good. Once Sniper was satisfied, he got the good loaded into his van and gave me the cash. I breathed a sigh of relief once he left, he was a good customer, but he could also go sane to psycho in less than a minute if things did not go his way.I wanted to get something nice for Charlotte to show her how much I cared about her, I was just not sure what. I hoped that the guys might ha
Charlotte’s POVWe decided to watch a movie while Jack was out with Grant and Ryan.“Action or horror?” I asked while I started scrolling.“You are a girl, why do you not like romances or dramas?” Warren asked.“Because they used to make me sad realising that I would never have that”.“But now you have Jack does that not, make you think about romance differently?”“What Jack and I have is new, who’s to say he will not either get board and cast me aside or turn into a prick once the honeymoon period is over”.“Trust me neither of those things are going to happen, you have Jack hooked and he is not one to change his mind when it is set on something and hun his mind is set on you” Lance laughed from the doorway as he walked in with microwave popcorn and bags of lollies. “Sorry I cannot make fancy popcorn from scratch like Ryan”.“
Jack’s POVWhat kind of man does not even buy his bride a wedding ring? She deserved so much better than him. “Well stick with me and I will spoil you”.“I don’t need to be spoilt” She blushed while playing with the watch.“Here let me put it on you” I lifted her hand and placed the watch and bracelet on her wrist. “I was thinking I could take you out for lunch. I would say just the two of us, but with Phillip still out there I would rather take the men as back up”.“I would love to go out for lunch with you”.“Great, stay here I just need to check something with Ryan and Grant, then I will come back and get you”. I quickly walked off and found Ryan coming out of my office.“Hey boss I emptied the briefcase and put the cash in your safe. I will go and dispose of the briefcase now”.“Great, I was just coming to ask about that. Also, wh
Charlotte’s POV“Well stick with me and I will spoil you”. Jack told me.“I don’t need to be spoilt” I played with the watch he has just bought me loving the way that it glittered under the light.“Here let me put it on you” He lifted my hand and gently placed the watch and bracelet on my wrist. “I was thinking I could take you out for lunch. I would say just the two of us, but with Phillip still out there I would rather take the men as back up”.“I would love to go out for lunch with you”. I was not sure I would be able to get used to someone spoiling me so much.“Great, stay here I just need to check something with Ryan and Grant, then I will come back and get you”. He was gone before I could respond.I did not see the point is sitting here doing nothing, so I stood up and made my way to the stairs. I passed Warren on my way.“Hey, where are yo
Grant’s POVI was glad that Jack was fine with me staying behind. I was curious to see how Phillip and his leg were getting on. Once the other left I went to my room and booted up my computer I logged into the tracker I had placed on Zac’s Phone. I was shocked that he was at his sister’s house, I wondered what Phillip was doing to allow him to leave. I would have thought he would need to keep him close since he is unable to drive with his leg. I guess I would need to wait it out and see where Zac went to next. I went to make a coffee while I waited, when I came back the dot was moving. I grinned as I sipped my coffee wondering where my Zac boy was off to. I almost spat out my coffee in shock when I saw the dot stop at the house where Charlotte used to live with Phillip. I cannot believe he has moved back there, why not stay in a hotel or buy another place? It did not sit right with me that he would move back to the place where this mess all started. Did he h
Jack’s POV“You!” Charlotte screamed at me “This is all our fault” She screamed as another contraction shook her.“Its ok dear, just push” The midwife told her.“Fuuuuccccck” Charlotte gasped as she pushed.“I can see the first head”Yes, first head, we found out when we went for our first check up that Charlotte was pregnant with twins. 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. Give them all away to
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
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. I opened the internet browser and started to search for roman
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
