The Mafia Princess and Her Possessive Men

Chapter Thirteen... Jade Talks With Her Daddy

*Jade POV*

I couldn't believe my dad. Bryson and Caine had a long journey ahead of them if they thought I would succumb to their advances. I held my ground as Caine helped me to where my Daddy, Jackson, was lying down.

George opened the door and stepped inside. "Where's my daughter?" My daddy said sternly. "I'm right here," I said as tears welled in my eyes. I limped over to him as Caine tried to help as best he could.

"Why in the fûck is that bâstard here, and why in hêll are you limping for?" My daddy said dangerously low. Chills instantly covered my body from his cold tone. He started to rip the IVs out of his arms.

"No! Daddy, please, Dad already spoke with the two of them. Bryson is out there with him now. He made some type of deal for them to work with him. There was an accident. Please, you're going to hurt yourself. Calm down. Please." I cried out as I placed my hands on his arms.

His face softens, and he embraces me tightly. "I thought I lost you, my little gem. Then, after we watched the surveillance videos, I about lost my mind. Why would you keep all that from us, baby? You know you don't have to keep things from us. We only want to protect you. This life is dangerous. Promise you won't keep things from us again." He says roughly.

"I promise, Daddy. I am just glad you are okay. I was so lost thinking you were gone. I'm sorry about everything." I cried softly.

Then, as if something clicked in his mind, "Wait... what did you mean there was an accident. Is Anders and Carly alright?" he rushed out in a panic.

"Everyone is fine. There was an explosion in Anders's office, but Caine and Bryson helped everyone until I got home." George said calmly as he carefully pushed my daddy back on the bed. "I don't want those IVs anymore. They are unnecessary. I want to see my husband and wife." My daddy grumbled out.

"Fine, but you need to rest, Jackson. You had a mild stroke. The next one could be stronger. Just be careful." George said with exasperation as he removed the IVs and set them aside.

My daddy narrowed his eyes at Caine. "Is what my daughter is saying the truth? Has my husband made a deal with you and the other boy?"

"Yes, Sir, after we found out what Bryson's father did. We rushed over as fast as we could to make sure everyone was alright." Caine said, swallowing hard.

"I don't like this one bit. I want you to know that boy. If you so much as look at my daughter the wrong way or even attempt to get close to her, I will rip you another âss hole. Do I make myself clear? Stay away from my daughter. If you are going to help us, then thank you, but my daughter is not part of the deal." he growled angrily as I clung to him.

Caine clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Yes, Sir, you have made yourself clear. Now, let me make myself clear. We know we made a mistake in taking Jade the way we did, but we were lied to, and we are just now coming to terms with that. I can't promise I will stay away from Jade. It's like asking me not to breathe my next breath." Caine strained out and sighed deeply, "She is the only reason why we came back. Whatever makes her happy is the most important thing. If anything had happened to her family, then she would have been destroyed. If anything had happened to her," he closed his eyes and inhaled sharply, "I don't think I would be standing here right now, because I would have lost my mind already with grief and excruciating pain. She's everything to us, sir." Caine looked at my daddy with a fierceness and then turned and left the room.

"Well... I wasn't expecting that to happen." My daddy says perplexed as he looks down into my large, shocked eyes. "What didn't you expect, Daddy?" I whispered roughly.

"To respect those boys. He reminds me of myself. He is determined and headstrong. I think I might be starting to like them. Don't look at me like that. They still have a lot to make up for, but I think I finally understand. You give those boys hêll baby. You make them work for your affection. Make them prove themselves and their worthiness. Only then will you know if they truly are the ones for you? Don't tell them I like them, yet. Make them sweat a little bit longer." he said firmly, but with affection.

He cupped my face and wiped the tears running down my cheeks with his thumbs. "No more tears, my little gem. I'm not going anywhere. You're stuck with me for a long time." He said roughly, "Now let's go. I want to see Anders and Carly. We will help each other. Lean on me, and I will lean on you."

George and I helped him down off the bed slowly, and then we walked to the door. George opened the door, and I gasped in shock. Caine and Bryson were standing there waiting. "Let us help you. Anders wants to see you, sir, and he wants to make sure you and Jade are okay. He wants you both to take it easy. He is worried sick." Bryson said calmly.

"You must be Bryson. Did Caine tell you everything I told him?" My daddy said sternly. "He did, and he also told me what he told you. We will do whatever it takes to win Jade back and earn the respect from you, her other dad, and her mom. Then, we will work on earning the respect of the rest of her family once we earn yours." Bryson says with a nod.

My daddy shakes their hands, and then there seems to be some kind of silent understanding between the three of them. I am completely clueless. My daddy places his arm around Caine's shoulder, and then I wrap my arm around Bryson's.

We head toward my dad's office, but Bryson leans forward and whispers in my ear. "I'm sorry, Princess. I wish I could go back in time and change everything. You were right. Things weren't as they seemed."

I looked up at him with a shocked look. "Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly? Did you just say that I was right? Where's my phone, I need to record this for proof."

"So sassy, Princess," Bryson shakes his head and chuckles softly.

"You haven't seen anything yet, boy. She's as stubborn as her mom." My daddy laughs.

I scoffed and then pouted. "Hey, that's not fair. You're supposed to be on my side, Daddy, not theirs." I say, hiding a smile.

"I'm just stating facts, little gem. No harm. No foul." he says lifting his arms in defeat, and then pulls his arm away from Caine and opens my dad's office going inside, closing the door behind him, and leaving me alone with Caine and Bryson.

"Do you want us to take you to your room so you can rest? We aren't going to try anything. You have been through a lot the last couple of days because of us. We will give you time Jade, just please, Princess, give us a chance at earning your love and respect." Bryson said before he picked me up bridal style and carried me towards my room before I could protest. Caine followed behind.

Caine opened my bedroom door, and Bryson walked inside slowly. Caine pulled my blankets back. "You really need a shower and to change your clothes, but I know you won't let us help you. Just rest, and once you feel rested, we will send your mom and grandma up to help you. Alright?" Bryson said and then leaned forward and kissed my forehead, "Rest, Princess. We aren't going to leave the house. I promise."

Caine pulled the blankets around me, and then he leaned down and kissed my forehead as well. "Just take it easy, baby. If you need anything, we will always be here for you."

I opened my mouth to speak, but they both shook their heads and walked out of the room.

I was at a complete standstill. What was I supposed to do? My heart told me to beg them to come back and lay with me. I felt safe with them and wanted them close, but my mind told me that they were at fault for my family's pain and suffering.

I wanted them by me, but yet I wanted them for away. Maybe my daddy was right. I needed to make them work for it. As my eyes grew heavy with exhaustion, I smiled softly as plans flashed in my mind.

Bryson and Caine were in for the ride of their lives if they wanted to prove their love and worthiness to me.

My eyes closed and blissful blackness blanketed me as I fell into a deep sleep dreaming of ways to make Bryson and Caine get down on their knees for their Mafia Princess.
