Hey guys so since I finish this chapter early I decide to post it. Hope you enjoy it💙
Clary's POV
It has been two months since I moved into Jace room and stop working. Everyone was happy for me except for one person and that was Aline. She hated that I got in this position, so she's being very rude to me. Right now I'm outside in the garden with my sketch book drawing the beautiful flowers.
I was so focused on the drawing that I didn't hear Brooklyn join me. "Hey mommy" she said. I turn my face to her and smile while putting down the book.
"Hii baby. What's up" I asked. She looks down at her knees. "Why are you dating the prince. I thought you love daddy" what she said truly breaks my heart.
"Honey your father died. I have to move on eventually" I told her in a small voice.
"But what if I don't want to move on. Why is life so unfair" Brooke Cry's. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Seeing her like this breaks my heart into a million pieces.
"You want to know something" I asked her. She nods her head, looking up at me. "The connection Jace and I have is stronger than what I feel for your father. I love your dad but our love was fading away. When I heard that he died I was heartbroken. But I know that its time to move on and enjoy life will it last. So should you" I told her and tap with little nose with my index finger. After a moment from my confrontation she nods her head and hug me.
"I love you mommy" my heart fills with joy when she says that.
"And I love you too Brooklyn" we both continue to sit and talk about random stuff, while I continue to finish my drawing.
It was now six o'clock and was time for dinner. Brooke and I went to our rooms to freshen up and head to the dining hall where our food is served. Jace, his parents and I talked and laugh, while Brooke smiles and answer questions the queen and king asked.
When we were done we head our separate ways. I tell Jace that I was going to walk around the castle for a little before I come to bed. He went of to the office to finish up some paper work.
I was walking around when I came face to face with Aline. She looks angry when see saw me. Before I could walk away she grabbed my hand and drags me to an empty room and locked the door behind her. "You just don't know when to listen do you" she said. She takes out something from her pocket. A knife. I look at her in horror. "I just have to teach you a lesson then" and with that she pins me to a wall and lifts up my shirt and starts to draw lines across my stomach. I scream out from the pain that I'm feeling. No one can hear me because these rooms are soundproof. I cry my eyes out when I looked at my belly. Its full of lines and blood. "That will teach you" and with that she left the room.
I fell to my knees and cry my heart out. How could she do this to me. After a few minutes later I manage to get up off the floor and slowly walked to Jace and I room. I sit on the couch and let the tears fall from my eyes and hit my lap while I carefully hold my stomach. Not too long after I hear the door opened and in walks Jace. He didn't see me at first but when he looks my way and see my crying, he rush over to me and kneels down taking my face in his hands.
Babe are you okay" Jace walks into our room and asked me worriedly. I lift up my shirt and show him the scars and blood that I have on my stomach. Rage builds in his body as he his shaking with fury. "Who did this to you" he almost yelled. I keep quiet not wanting him to know but he asked again in more of a prince voice that demands and answer.
"It w-was A-A-Aline" I stutter. Shock is written all over his face and it turns into a face that he is ready to kill. He lifts me up into his arms and carry me to the bathroom.
