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

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
