Yeah. I know. I haven't updated in a while but school and stuff are getting to me. I'm really sorry I left you guys will cliffhanger, but that's just the fun of writing a story

I was going to murder him. How dare he touch Aimee?! It was clear she didn't like it and was struggling to break free.

"How dare you?" I whispered. I knew my voice was much more lethal when it was low. Even though I tried to conceal it, I knew my voice spoke of tears, heartbreak and rejection.

Jace sighed. "I wouldn't expect you to understand, this child has been plaguing me since the start of this trip." He pointed to Aimee and said "You have no clue as to what she has been doing to me." He scoffed. "Now, I find that she is your daughter. Why didn't I realize it sooner? She has your qualities. She has your mind. She plays your tricks, she plays your games, and she is exactly like you."

"She plays my games. Screw your head on the right way, Jace. She is five." After thought, I said, "She has my qualities, but you are sickening. I don't know what you did when I didn't know." He grew angrier.

"I knew she was exactly like you, you lying, scheming little bitch!" My eyes widened, I knew that was coming. Jace couldn't control his temper. I had expected that, but I knew that things was irreparable now. All the while, Sophia, who was silently watching everything, came forward.

"Do you have no respect for women?! Is this how you treat a woman? Have some respect!" Her black eyes sparked to life with anger and hatred.

"Ah, Sophia, how wonderful for you to show up, sticking up for her." I gently pushed Sophia back. This fight wasn't for her, although she seemed stunned that Jace knew her.

"Let's go guys. He isn't worth it." I whispered gently. Picking Aimee up, I turned and walked out, without ever looking back.

- The Real Me -

After the cruise

My vacation passed. Aimee, Sophia, Alex and I had created a small but happy family. There was still not one day I didn't think about Jace. After that fight, I drank the night away, with several people trying to hit on me. I refused all of them, until Aydin came and found me and spilled everything to him, in my drunken state told him everything. We were now only friends as apparently I told him, I could never love anyone as much as I loved Jace.

I still went to work, but Jace never turned up. When Alex heard she was furious, but I stopped from outright going and killing Jace. She made no promises.

- The Real Me -

I ventured up the steps to The Institute, carefully. I didn't even have time to take a deep breath when the doors opened. Of course, I should have remembered. The Institute doors opened to any Shadowhunter. I knew Jace resided here and I was going to have a little chat with him. My sister wasn't the same after the vacation, and I knew Jace was the issue. He had done to her, what he had done to sister had finally spilled, a week after, we cried together.

"Alexandra." I heard a feminine voice behind. Isabelle.

Without turning, I answered "Yes Isabelle."

"What brings you here? As I clearly remember, the last time you came here was with Jace, and it didn't end well. You vowed never to step and I quote "god damned place" again." She mocked

She was testing my patience. I wasn't about to give in to her. "I'm looking for Jace. We need to chat."

"Oh really, well I'm sorry to say that Jace isn't here. He's hooking up with some bimbo in The New York Palace Hotel. Our parents own a room there and they hardly use it. Good thing Jace is making use of it."

I was fuming. Jace was going out with someone just after he broke up with the woman he claimed to love. "Room number?" I asked.

"1583."

"Thank you." I shouted over my shoulder as I as ran out of there. I hated it there.

The taxi ride was horrible. It took me half an hour to get to a place that was only like two minutes' walk from me, because of the traffic, and it was raining and I didn't have an umbrella.

I finally got there and ran to the desk. "Which level is the 1583?"

"Twenty fifth floor to the right."

"Thanks."

I waited for the lift, impatiently tapping my shoe on the marble flooring and watching the numbers on the lift. It came finally and mercifully, I was the only one on it. It went straight up to the twenty fifth floor.

I found the room with ease, as it was the only room on this level. Figures, the room would be so big, ot would take up the entire level. The door was to the right and I had to pick the lock to get in. At least there were no security cameras to watch me. That would have been a bitch.

The lock gave away to my abuse within ten seconds. I stepped in warily, carful to look out for any Shadowhunter traps or tricks. Nothing, it was like an ordinary room, albeit very lavish. Because the room was quite big, I could only hear the slightest of moans from the bedroom, but they grew louder as I reached the bedroom door. Disgusting, but I knew it was coming. I threw it open with my eyes shielded.

"Everyone except Jace, GET OUT!"

I took my hand away from my eyes to see a woman, with long dark brown hair and green eyes staring back defiantly. It was mildly amusing as she was standing clad in only a red lace bra and matching underwear. Red wasn't a good colour for her. It washed out her skin tone.

"And who might you be, telling us to get out of our hotel room?"

"Alexandra, technically this isn't Jace's. It's his parents' hotel room."

"No! Whose ever it may be, we are using it." She shot back.

"You would do well, to listen to me, or maybe you need a little convincing." Jace, who was quiet until this moment, jumped up.

"No, don't hurt her, Celeste go. Give me and Alex a moment." The girl, Celeste her name was cast me a dark look and stormed out of the room without taking her clothes and banging the door loudly.

Jace, thankfully was fully clothed. He started saying irritably, "What do you want?"

"Remember that day we met after two years, in the office? I said that if you hurt my sister, I would hurt you, well, I can't do that because it would hurt her, so let me give you a demo."

I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up. "You hurt her, go to her, apologies and beg for forgiveness until your throat is raw, do you hear me?"

"No! She has lied to me and kept secrets from me!"

I grabbed his shirt harder. "You will!"

He threw me off. He caught me by surprise and the impact of it made me lose my footing. I stumbled backwards but didn't fall and I quickly regained myself.

"Why are you being like this?" I asked. Jace never used force when he didn't need to.

"She has done this to me?! She has kept secrets from me and lied to me."

"You are so full of yourself. You got what was coming around. You broke me and she broke you. You deserved what you got." I walked to the door and threw it open. Looking back, I said "She's very smart, my sister. Not even you could mess her up."

I walked out and found the girl Jace was with still there in her bra and panties.

"What have you done to him?"

"My dearest whoever you may be, you are short term relationship. Or a one nightstand. I truly believe if you don't want to get hurt, leave, and don't pursue this relationship. Jace is in love with someone else."

"Who? You?"

I turned around calmly. "No with my sister."

She gasped and her eyes widened. "You are her sister, the one who came on the cruise. She ruined Jace."

I smiled. "Jace ruined her. He ruined me." I twisted the door knob and just before leaving, I said "Karma's a bitch."

I know I haven't updated in a while. I had no inspiration for the story until I watched Titanic again. I know you might be wondering what happened on the rest of the cruise but I might, if I get the time, do another story that is just deleted scenes of this story. I might not be updating for another three to four weeks of this story because I have got many many assignments and tests. But I'll to get a chapter in. Sorry
