Rising From the Ashes 10
Ryan’s POVI was so glad that I was close to Charlotte, I hardly got any sleep last night because I was so worried about her. I was shocked at how easy it was for her to give up Phillips information to me. I thought she might have been still in love with him and reluctant. It seems I was wrong, and she wanted nothing to do with him. I hoped that we would be successful and kill the piece of shit. Charlotte deserved better, she deserved to be happy. I did not even notice Jack had arrived until I heard his angry voice.“You are supposed to be guarding the door not chatting”.“Sorry boss, she just woke up so I lifted the bed for her so that she could sit up. I will go back to position now”. I tried to cover my arse, but I knew he would see right thought me.“What did you do to make her cry?” He glared at me.“He didn’t do anything, he just asked me about some burns that he noticed on my back”. Charlotte answered for me glaring right back at Jack.“How did you get burns on your back?” Jack

Charlotte’s POVAfter my stupid outburst about if I would be able to orgasm again Jack seemed to be pissed off. He gave poor Ryan a look like he was about to killing him when he made the comment that he was sure they could find someone to test out my theory. I watched Ryan sneak out of the room and back to his spot in the hall. I wished I was able to walk so I could follow him, my luck got even worse when Jack followed the nurse and doctor to the door and then shut it behind them. Shit I was now trapped in here with an angry Jack. He sat back down in the seat and looked out the window. I felt so awkward, I had no idea what to say to ease the tension. Was he repulsed at me thinking about sexual pleasure in a time like this? Should I explain that I have not had an orgasm in years and now I am worried I wont ever again? I looked down at my table and saw that the nurse must have left me the lunch menu. Thankful that I had something to focus on I picked it up and started to see what was on
Rising From the Ashes 12
Jack’s POVI could kill him, did he want to be the one to check if Charlotte would still be able to orgasm? Ryan thankfully had some sense and left the room, leaving just the nurse and doctor behind. They finished the tests and left the room. I followed them out and closed the door behind them, I wanted a barrier between him and Charlotte. I sat in the chair and looked out of the window trying to figure out what to say to break the ice. I did not know what was going on with me, I only got aroused when I needed a release. I then found a girl fucked her and left, I could not understand why Charlottes comment would get me hard. She was going to be staying with us, I could not afford to shag her and make things awkward. I notice her grab the lunch menu and start to look at it. I quickly grabbed it off her and pretended to look at it. “You cannot eat any of this crap, I will go and get you some lunch when I go get some for Ryan and myself”.“Um, I didn’t even get chance to look at it. I am

Phillip’s POVWhere was that bitch hiding. I knew I was listed as her next of kin, I should have received a phone call. I needed her gone so I can marry Jane, I was so stressed that I almost hit her. I can not risk her getting away before I have my fun. Thankfully Gavin had offered to lend me some of his men. I had them positioned at all the local hospitals trying to find Charlotte. She had no money, how the hell was she able to hide so well? The only thing I could think was that her boss was helping her, but why would he do that? I sat in my car outside a private hospital, I was just about to get out and go in when I saw Charlottes boss come out with two men. I sat back down and watched him, he got into the same car I saw when I hurt Charlotte. I smiled as I watched him drive off thankful that he did not notice me. Now all I needed to do was wait for him to come back and follow him. He would not be able to stay by Charlottes side 24/7. It did not take long before they came back, they

Jack’s POVAfter Charlotte finished all her food, the doctor came in.“I have been told that you would like to take Charlotte home”.“Yes, her husband is looking for her and it’s too hard to keep her safe here”.“Have the police been contacted?”“Her husband is a man who has the police in his pocket, so no the police have not been contacted”.The doctor gave Charlotte a worried look “I can take her back in for an x-ray now to see how her back is healing. She can sit up in bed without any pain what is good, but she can still not feel her feet”.“Can we come with her? Or at least one of us”“I am happy for you to come down, but you will all need to stay outside the room”.“I am happy with that”.We all helped Charlotte into a wheelchair and a nurse pushed her out of the room and down the hall. We arrived at th

Charlotte’ POVI was both scared and excited about leaving the hospital and moving in with the boys. I knew that Ryan would never hurt me, but I was not sure about Jack and the others. I know that Jack was only wanting me as bait to lure in Phillip. I was not sure what would happen to me after that. Once I was in the wheelchair the nurse pushed me down to the radiology department. I noticed the looks that she kept giving Jack. He did not seem to even notice, and I could tell that it was pissing her off. Once we arrived at the room I was wheeled in, and the nurse walked over to the door and blocked it telling the boys they would have to wait outside. I noticed that she bent over slightly so that the boys would have been able to see down her top, but again Jack did not seem to notice. The Doctor and the nurse helped me onto the bed and got me in the correct position for the x-ray. Since I could not move all, I could do was lay there and let them move me as they needed. Soon we were done
Rising From the Ashes 16
Ryan’s POVGod I could not wait to get Charlotte out of this place, I hated hospitals and I wanted to get back to normal. I was also excited about her living with us, I was hoping that she would like it and be able to relax and be happy. Once Jack caught Phillip, I was thinking that I might let Charlotte stay in my old flat until she gets on her feet. That is unless Jack decides he wants her to stay. I have noticed the odd looks he gives her and the sparks of jealousy. I had also noticed Charlotte getting jealous, like with this stupid nurse who was not trying to flirt with me. Did she think I didn’t notice her hitting on Jack when I was right next to him? I filled in the form and went to hand it in, I hated leaving Charlott on her own. As I walked down the hall, I must have looked back about ten times. I finally made it to the nurse’s station and handed the form into a different nurse.“Thanked you I will get the details updated in the sy

Jacks’s POVGrant returned in record time with the clothing. I was impressed he had gone with trackpants, T-shirts and hoodies as well as some plain cotton nickers and bras. I was glad that he had been quick so that I could not make my way back to the hospital and bring her back here where I knew she would be safe. I quickly packed a bag with some clothes for her to wear home when Ryan rang me. I felt instant panic as I answered the call. I felt instant relief when I found out that he was only calling me to advise that Charlotte did not have any clothes to come home in. I was already aware of that and that is why Grant had gone out shopping. I quickly ended the call and rallied up Warren and Lance, I wanted to get back now.As Soon as we arrived at the hospital I walked in while Lance and Warren took their places by the door. As soon as I go to the room, I sent Ryan to go get the nurse so that she can get Charlotte Changed. I want us out of here and back to the h

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.

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
