Jack’s POV
After 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.

Grant’s POVAfter everyone left the gym, I grabbed Warren and Lance “Who has the pictures of the women that Jack met?”Warren grinned at me as he handed me a flash drive “Make sure you find out everything you can about her.”“Oh, don’t worry, but the time I am done we will know her favourite colour” I laughed as I walked to my room. I sat behind my computer and inserted the flash drive. Warren had done a good job, I had about twenty clear shots of her from all different angles. He had even managed to follow her to her car and got her registration number for me. He really was making my job too easy. After only a few searches I had her name. I did some more digging and discovered her real reason for been at the warehouse the night Jack killed the rat, she was his sister. I was now certain that she was the same woman that contacted Phillip. She was not going to help us at all, she wanted to hurt Jack and knew that tak

Charlotte’s POVOnce I was dressed Jack wheeled me to the lounge. Warren and Lance were about to watch a movie by the looks of it.“Lance did not tell me it was that bad” Warren came over and started to check my head. “I will kill that bitch for leaving you all alone.”“You will have to get in line for that one” Jack growled behind me.“Get in line for what?” Ryan asked as he set a couple of bowls of popcorn down on the coffee table. He glanced over at me and saw my head. “What the hell happened to Charlotte’s head?”“Daisy left her alone to go try fuck Jack, while she was gone, Charlotte fell over and banged her head” Lance growled.“Where is the bitch now? I want to bang her fucking head up.”“Gone and I told her not to come back.” Jack lifted me out of my chair and placed me on the couch and handed me one of the bowls of popc
