His Mafia Princess - J.H

Chapter 23

Mirriella pov

After his little outburst, I decided to take a shower and then paint a little more. I had painted three more characters onto my wall, and painted a quote from one of my favourite British dramas on the wall underneath the bay window.

"By order of the Peaky Blinders"

I decided that after that I was just going to go to sleep.

It was about half one when I was awoken by shouting and screaming coming from one of the rooms. Remi was staying at Stefan's house tonight, and Jaden doesn't allow the guards to sleep here. So unless he's had a random guest come over in the time that he stormed out, it could only be him.

I got out of bed and I made my way over to his room. I got to the door, and all three of the dogs were scratching at the bottom of the door. I got all of them into my room and shut the door so that they wouldn't get in the way.

I walked back to his room. I held my hand on the handle for a minute, questioning if I should help him or not. No matter how much he's pissed me off, my instinct to help people is stronger than that feeling. And no one deserves to be screaming and crying in the mists of some sort of attack alone. Even if they are an asshole.

I opened the door and walked into his room. Inside I was slightly panicking about how he'd react to this, but didn't really care when I saw him curled up in the corner, shouting and screaming at someone.

I slowly walked over to him, so I didn't startle him, and I slid down the wall next to him. I put my hand on his shoulder softly to alert him of my presence. What I didn't expect was for him to move quickly and cling into my side as he dug his head into my shoulder.

I wrapped my arm around him and brought it to lightly scratch his head comfortingly. I let him just sit there, clinging onto me as if his life depended on it, endlessly sobbing.

"Please don't let him in." He kept repeating.

"He's not here. It's just me, I promise." I whispered back to him as I unconsciously played with his hair.

When he had started to calm down, I got him to stand up and get back into the bed. I pulled the covers back over him and went to leave when he grabbed my hand lightly.

"Please don't leave." He mumbled.

"I won't, I promise. But the dogs need to be let out. I can't keep them locked up in my room." I explained.

I quickly walked back to my room, opening the door to let the dogs out. They all ran out, but instead of running to Jaden, they ran downstairs. I laughed lightly and went back to his room. I shut the door and walked over to Jaden. He pulled me onto the bed so I was laying next to him.

I knew in my head that this would backfire on me if he wakes up and forgets what happened tonight. Knowing him, he'll probably blow up at me for being in his room against his knowledge, but I've reached the point of not being able to care.

Once I had laid down, he moved himself so his head was resting on my chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tightly. I brought my hand up to play with his hair in a way of comfort. I sighed, my mind racing with how many ways this one act could go wrong if he forgets, while staring up at the blank ceiling. I felt his body get heavy and I knew he was asleep.

I looked around his room for a second, trying to tire myself out, when my eyes landed on a camera in the corner. I smiled for a second while looking directly at it, knowing that now there was a way to plead my innocence and prove to him that he asked me to stay if things go south.

With that though in mind, I fell asleep to the sound of Jaden breathing.

Just as I had suspected last night, Jaden was not best pleased when he woke up. I had woken up around an hour prior and couldn't fucking move because of the grip he had on me.

He had started to shift around, and quickly jolted up when he realised his head was still in my chest. He looked furious at the fact that I was in his room, but I was calmer than I thought I would have been. With the knowledge I had obtained last night, I was not in a state of panic about this.

"Why the fuck are you in here?" He shouted at me as he stood up and backed away from the bed.

"Finally, you're awake." I groaned as I stood up and cracked my back and knees.

"Answer my fucking question you bitch. Why the fuck are you in my room?" He gritted as I he pointed at me, the veins in his arm prominent, immediately giving away how bothered he was over this situation.

"Check your fucking camera dickwad, it'll show you begged me to stay in here." I said to him calmly as I pointed to the camera and walked out of the room.

As soon as the door had opened, Beaux took that as an invitation to go running into his room to see if he was okay. I laughed slightly as I watched her jump on the bed and sniff around. I was out in the hall and a bit away from the door, so anyone in the room couldn't see me, but I could see them.

"Hello Beaux, hello." Jaden laughed as he walked over to the bed and she jumped on her hind legs to lick his face.
