"From the moment you opened the door" He informed and took his wedding ring off. "Get the hell out of my house, I want to divorce…You damn psycho"
"What?" Brittany questioned shocked and Beck smiled satisfied while Jade watched completely surprised how her father kicked his wife out of the house. "You can't be serious, we love each other…It's Jade, she wants to ruin our happiness!"
"I can't believe how blind I have been to not see the kind of snake you are" John said frustrated. "Stay away from me, my house and my daughter" He ordered as he grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the house.
"This won't stay like this" Brittany threatened madly and started walking away. Mr. West simply took a breath and looked at Jade, who was looking down and wiping her tears away shyly.
"Jade, look at me" John demanded and she slowly looked up to see him.
"I should go…don't worry, you won't have to see me again…" Jade said and tried to turn to the other side but he stopped her by embracing her in his arms.
"How could you try to kill yourself? Don't ever do it again, Jade West, ever!" He said with a couple of tears streaming down his face and kissed the top of her head. Jade didn't even know how to react but the only thing she felt like doing was crying so that's what she did. "I would've died if that gun had been loaded"
"I'm sorry" Jade said as she cried into her father's embrace.
"No, I'M sorry, I should've believed you…I should've known Brittany was like this, I can see why you were scared of staying now" He commented. "But you need to understand something, Jade, no matter what I've said or how I've acted, I've always loved you…You're my only child, I just haven't shown you how much you mean to me" He said and she broke the hug.
"Don't lie…You've never liked me, you didn't try to rescue me when I was kidnapped" Jade affirmed.
"That's not true, I did everything in my power to investigate that man and I had a plan to rescue you, honey, I just didn't want to give it away to the press" He affirmed. "How could you think I would simply watch you die? What Brittany said about me denying giving them money wasn't true, I never said that…I would've given them every dollar I own if it meant saving your life but I trusted my plan would work"
"Are you being honest?" Jade questioned.
"Completely" He said and Jade looked down feeling worse because that meant she was the one who'd made the worst mistakes.
"I'm sorry" Jade said sincerely. "I should have never said yes to those people, I was an idiot… or maybe I'm actually a bad person, maybe Brittany is right and I'd do the world a favor by dying" she commented
"Don't say that ever again" Her father demanded. "It is true that you should've said no but given the circumstances, I understand why you did it"
"I tried to quit, I didn't want to kill anyone at first but they made me and they threatened me…If I quit, I die" Jade informed and her father sighed. "I don't know what to do; now my friends are part of it too…all because of me"
"How many people have you killed?" He questioned seriously and Jade looked down.
"Why does it matter?" she asked.
"I want a number" He insisted and she sighed.
"I don't know; many…above sixty I believe, I don't know, I stopped counting a while ago" Jade said sincerely and he closed his eyes in frustration because that was a very high number. "I know, it's horrible…and the worst part is that I'm used to it, dad, I can kill a person now and feel no remorse"
"Don't say that" He ordered. "Do you enjoy doing that? Does it excite you to kill?" He asked and she shook her head. "Then you're not what you're trying to believe you are, you're not a psychopath"
"Then what am I?" she asked.
"You once were a scared girl in a dangerous situation, now you are a dangerous woman in a scary situation" He responded and she thought about it. "But you want to get out of it, don't you?"
"Yes, but they won't let us go…ever" Jade affirmed.
"There's always a way, we'll figure it out, okay?"
"Okay…" Jade said.
"And what do we have to do?" Beck asked.
"First, I need you to tell me everything about them" John demanded once they were inside in the living room.
"They're a mafia, dad, they have contacts everywhere…the targets are given by the government" Jade responded and he exhaled worriedly. "It's impossible to hide from them"
"Maybe we could negotiate" He said.
"How?" Jade asked.
"I have many contacts in the government, maybe we could talk about it" John answered.
"If they learn I told you about it, we are both dead" Jade affirmed.
"No, don't worry…that won't happen" He affirmed and all the sudden Jade's phone rang. "Pick up, on speaker" he ordered and Jade did.
"Hello" Jade said.
"Hey Jade, Mr. Maroni told us that all your friends lived up to our expectations and that you killed all the men in the house last night" Ericka said gladly and Jade looked at her dad nervously because those men were his colleagues.
"Yeah…" she said.
"I'm glad, they had it coming" She said and Mr. West just listened carefully because he was almost sure he recognized the voice from somewhere. "Anyway, you know we pay per person, not mission so you'll be properly rewarded as usual, darling"
"Thanks" Jade said emotionlessly.
"What's wrong? You sound…strange" Ericka commented.
"I'm just tired, I had to witness two murders yesterday and then I killed four men, what did you expect?" She asked.
"I expect you to rise and shine because you got a new target" She said and Jade closed her eyes annoyed.
"Who is it?" Jade asked.
"Robbie, you lying bitch, he didn't deliver…YOU did" Ericka said coldly and Beck and Jade looked at each other scared.
"Who told you that? It's not true" Jade responded.
"Of course it is, we know everything" Ericka informed.
"Oh really, Ericka?" John asked and Jade felt her heart beating faster, that was the end.
"Who is this?" She questioned confused.
"You don't recognize my voice, dear, we've attended a lot of government dinners together" Mr. West commented and there was silence. "You hired my daughter to kill for you; do you not know that I hate treason?"
"John?" Ericka asked.
"Bingo!" He said.
"Jade is your daughter?" She questioned surprised and he chuckled.
"Please don't pretend you didn't know" He responded.
"You know what? It's too late to be her father, she's one of us now" Ericka affirmed.
"No, she isn't…You forced her into that world but she wants out and guess what? You'll let her out" John affirmed.
"What makes you think that will happen? Jade is a very valuable item to us" She commented.
"She is not an item, she is a person…my daughter and she is no longer part of your organization" He informed. "Listen, here's what we are gonna do, we won't tell anyone about this but you will never contact Jade or any of her friends again and don't you dare hurt us" John threatened seriously. "I swear to god if something happens to my daughter or me or anyone close to us, I will make public your little government-orchestrated net of assassins, which by the way is considered organized crime and is an international illegal activity…You don't want to have press from all around the globe, the UN and many world leaders with their eyes on you, do you?"
"No" Ericka responded.
"Great, so that's how it'll be…From now on, you have to pretend you never met Jade or her friends and we won't tell on you so you can keep executing your government orders freely" Mr. West commented. "And remember; do not dare hurt any of us"
"Jade's earned enemies, what if someone who isn't us does something to her?" Ericka asked and Jade looked at her father worriedly.
"You'll have to pay the consequences anyway, if I were you I would become her shadow only to make sure she stays alive and well for the rest of her life" John said coldly. "I already gave instructions so it's better if nothing happens to us, am I clear?"
"Yes" Ericka said emotionlessly.
"Good, I hope to see you again in upcoming dinners, Ericka, goodbye" He said and hung up on her.
"Oh my god" Jade said shocked.
"Done, you're free" He informed and she smiled not believing it.
"Are you sure she will follow your orders?" Beck asked.
"Completely, she knows I don't play around and I have some pretty heavy contacts" John informed. "She doesn't want international pressure; it wouldn't be good for the country or their business…She won't risk the whole system for a person"
"I can't believe it" Jade said excitedly. "But…god, if I'd known you could do this…dad, I could've left long ago"
"There is no 'would have', the important thing is that you're free now and so am I" He responded.
"You?" Jade asked confused.
"Brittany, she was slowly ending with my life and I did not see it until today" He answered and Jade sighed. "We both made mistakes, darling but it's time to start over, don't you think?"
"Yes" Jade said and he stroked her cheek.
"And I think we should start by bringing you back to this house, would you like that?" He asked and she nodded so he smiled and so did Beck, he knew what that moment meant to Jade. "I love you, baby"
"I love you too, dad" As they had accorded, Jade moved back to her house but now it was only her and her father, they were trying to build a nice relationship now that Brittany was gone. Mr. Maroni never contacted Jade or any of her friends again but they kept the money they'd earned. Beck and Jade continued working on their relationship to make it perfect and even though they still fought at times, they loved each other so they knew things would always go back to normality. Jade learned a lot about herself in the months she worked for the company, now she knew she could be as cruel and ruthless as the worst of monsters but that dark side she'd experienced more closely didn't bring her as much joy as living her actual life, with friends and peace, the dark side of her only brought her angst, fear and regret so she was happy to know she would never have to use a pseudo for that reason again.
…unless it was necessary…
I hope you guys enjoyed the ending!
