Narrative:

Established on left downwind for runway 14; apf tower cleared to land the twin prop. At the same time a g-iv; located west south-west of the airport; was approaching the field and he requested to use visual for runway 05; the request was approved. When the twin prop turned on final; tower requested the g-iv to square the base to final approach. When the twin prop was on short final runway 14; the g-iv was cleared to land runway 05. On runway 14; between intersection C3 and C2; the twin prop was suddenly requested to clear the runway. The request was able to be complied with only aggressive usage of brakes; and not without distress due to the closeness of space. The only intersection available before the intersecting runways was C2; the space at that point is confined and less than few hundreds feet. As the twin prop was aggressively applying brakes to exit runway 14 the g-iv was on runway 05 decelerating before the two intersecting runways. At the time the tower gave this unexpected instruction; the twin prop did not have any room left; and any possible evasive action at that point was therefore lost. In case the usage of the full runway length should have been required the result could have been disastrous. The twin prop was cleared to land first and without any restriction. The runway available (14) between touchdown and runway 05 is less than 2;500 feet. At the time the g-iv was cleared to land; the twin prop was maneuvered with an immediate short landing to avoid a possible catastrophe. At that phase of the flight the possibility of a go-around maneuver was also lost.

Title: C310 pilot reported he had to brake very aggressively to avoid a collision with a business jet landing on an intersecting runway.
