I do not own the Mortal Instruments or the characters it's all Cassandra Clare's.

I recently got a beta – Wisterian Princess will be beta reading all my chapters from now on.

Chapter 1

Jace:

He was sitting with the other lawyers in the meeting room. The other lawyers- Toby, Sebastian and Jonathan- were his friends. These three were also brothers, and they knew each other since high school. Alec Lightwood, his older brother and the owner of the company, finally arrived. Alec sat on the chair facing the other lawyers.

"Sorry I'm late, but I was talking to some new clients."

"Who are they?" asked Jonathan.

"That's the reason I'm asking for this meeting. We know both of the clients. They are both asking for our help, and now they are waiting in my office for our decision."

"Who are the two clients?" Jonathon asked curiously.

"Clary Fray and Raphael Santiago. Whatever you guys decide, I'm going to take the case alone."

"Our sister?" said Sebastian surprised.

"Yes."

"Well I don't know about you and Jace, but I think Sebastian, Jonathan, and I have an answer. It's obviously Clary," said Toby.

"What are you thinking Jace?" Alec asked him.

"Well the majority of us are for Clary, so I think she should be our new client," Jace answered.

"Oh! I almost forget to tell you," Alec said, "since we are taking Clary, we are going to have five other people working on this case: Mark, Nick, Andrew, Pedro, and David. I'm going to tell them the result."

"We'll accompany you, Alec. It's been a long- almost- six years since we've seen Clary."

Jace followed behind them. He knew their new client Clary Fray personally; she was his ex-girlfriend, and his last one, too. He really loved her, but one day, she just dumped him without a single explanation. He sighed. This was going to be a long day for him.

He looked through the window on his brother's office door; two security guards were near Raphael and Clary. He could recognize Mark, who was behind Clary. Raphael was a on a seat next to them.

Alec told them the news, and Jace saw Raphael tense, and he heard Raphael say to Clary: "I'm going to win this case. After I do, you will pay for what you have done to me."

He was so angry that Alec had not chosen him that he tried to strangle Clary. Clary, frightened, screamed. Straight away Mark was pushing Raphael to the wall, and the two security guards were already taking care of him. Alec was by Clary's side in an instant, checking for injuries.

"Are you okay, Clary?" Jonathan worriedly asked his little sister. Jonathan had ran into the office the minute Raphael went for Clary.

"Jonathan?! What are you doing here?" Asked a surprised looking Clary.

"I'm a lawyer at this firm," Jonathan replied.

"Oh."

"Toby and Sebastian are also lawyers here. It's been a long time since we have seen you, Clary. Come on, I'll bring you to my office."

He took Clary in his arms, and went to his office with Toby and Sebastian following behind him. Jace walked into his brother's office and started to help him to clean up.

"I never seen Raphael like this," said Jace to his brother.

"You would be surprised to see what he is capable of," answered Alec.

Jace returned to his office- which was opposite Jonathan's. He tried to work on this new divorce case, but he kept looking in Jonathan's office, where the Morgenstern siblings were talking to Clary.

She was still as beautiful as he remembered. She was wearing a red dress and high heels. He smiled as he remembered when she used to complain because he was too tall. She was way too short for him at the time, but it never bothered him.

He finished his day, thinking about the new case, and about Clary. He wanted to see her and have an explanation of why she left him. He needed and explanation, closure.

- Line Break-

The next morning, he went in to a courtroom where he defended his client. And then, in the afternoon, he went back to the offices, where Alec was waiting for him.

"How was the trial?" Alec asked.

"Good. I think we're going to win this," Jace replied honestly.

"That's good news."

"How has your case advanced?"

"Good. We had deposition and witness. I think that our defense is well-prepared."

"Okay. That's good then."

Alec nodded. "Well, I'm going to leave you to your work. If there's a problem, come see me."

"Sure," Jace replied, going to his computer.
