Part 21




Sorry for the delay update and no one is even asking for an update so I didn't bother too write either. Enjoy the twist and be miserable as I am. Not sorry for it.


Jace jolted up from his sleep when he felt something soft hit his face. He sat up almost immediately and saw Alec behind the couch he slept on looking at him with such a stern look on his face. "What the fuck Alec! I was asleep!" He looked to his side, the couch pillow that hit his face was on the floor, he picked it up and throw it back at his brother but Alec already disappeared to the kitchen. "Get ready. We're going home, our flights in the afternoon." Jace jumped out from the couch in shock upon Alec's words and followed him to the kitchen.

His messy blonde hair is ruffed but still look good on him as he brushed it with his fingers and his eyes still blurred due to the lack of sleep. His mind wanders to what Alec had in his mind that made him want to come home in such a hurry. "Alec are you okay?" He asked him as his eyes lingered towards Alec's tall figure ruffling through the kitchen fridge looking for something to make breakfast. "Peachy." He said without given a glance at his brother. He knows the answer is sarcastically but he had no mood to explain himself hence, the sarcasm.

"What are you gonna do back home?" Jace asked, his voice hint with a frightening note wishing his brother doesn't have anything crazy in his mind. Alec still had his back towards him and kept stirring his coffee with the small spoon after he placed the sugar in, his eyes lost in the black emptiness before him. "Dad owe me an explanation." He simply said as he sipped his coffee. He heard Jace sighed behind him but he chose to ignore it.

"Alec." Jace was about to say something but he was cut off with Alec's words, "That bastard is the reason for my misery, my fucked up life is his doing and he had the audacity to keep it a secret and made you all lie to me!" Alec gritted his teeth, his jaw clenched as he kept his gaze at his brother, their eyes stared into each other burning holes into their heart. "Alec I know you're hurting right now but-" Jace was again cut off when Alec slapped his palm on the table in front of them. The table shook and so was Jace, "STOP covering for him! You had all two years to tell me the truth but you kept it a secret! It took me few weeks with Magnus to put all the pieces together. I thought we promised each other no secrets Jace! I thought you are my brother!"

Alec screamed his frustration at him and he saw Jace pinched his nose bridge together sighing. "I am your brother damn it! It wasn't my decision it was mum and dad! The memory is too painful for all of us. You have no idea what have we gone through since you left us. You LEFT US Alec! You left me and Isabelle to rebel against dad! You showed him how you can live without his help and cast us away from your life! If anything you started all of this. If you could just told mum and dad in private instead of at the dinner party none of this would happened!" Jace pointed his finger at his brother which he retracted back in regret, he didn't mean to blame Alec on all of this but he was out of line and he knew he burst Alec's bubbles. He saw his chest puffed in and out in anger and his eyes shooting darts at him.

"Rape, murder, tortured, abused, kidnapped, take your pick, do you think I wanted those? Do you think I wanted those life? He called me a humiliation and said I put scar on his reputation. What kind of a father who disowned his own off spring for being gay? He was humiliated back then and he wasn't any difference now." Jace was taken back at Alec's word and his jaw dropped, "Y-You remembered?" Jace asked whispering although his voice is loud enough for Alec to hear. "Its all coming back to me, pieces but I know now whose voices appeared in my dream. Look, come or don't come to Italy with me I don't care, I need to settle this on my own, bye Jace."

Alec stormed off from the kitchen bumping their shoulders together and Jace sighed at Alec's behavior. He became like he used to be when they were in school, the rebellious Alec with an anger like a teen. He knew this isn't going well so he need to accompany his brother from acting out at his parents again. He called Izzy to tell her they are coming back and she understood how Alec is behaving right now.


The whole ride back to Italy was nothing but silence and Alec hasn't spoke any words which making Jace fidgeting in fear. Not that Alec is giving him the silent treatment scared Jace the most but rather the event that is gonna happened next at their home. He hoped his father is not around to avoid this matter but he was wrong. The moment Alec stepped into their home, he pushed Izzy from his way towards their father's office. Nothing can stop Alec right now not even his own conscience.

Alec didn't bother to greet his own mother as he passed her and Izzy and his mind focused on his father. His eyes shown anger but at the same time, questions. Questions that had been pondering since the moment he heard Jace told him, questions that needed answers that would console his aching heart. As he walked through the hallway heading towards his father's office, he heard his siblings and his mother called his name but he chose to ignore them and focused on his goal.

He didn't bother to knock and decided to barge in unannounced, his father was at the table reading through some document when Alec stormed in and his gaze shifted from the papers on the table towards his elder son. "Alexander? When did you get here?" He asked innocently thinking Alec didn't know exactly what happened. Alec barged forward closing the gap between them and he stopped when he reached to him. The only thing that separate them was the desk that covered with papers and documents on them. He slammed both of his palm on the table with a surprised face appears on Robert's face. "How could you pretended nothing happened and kept it a secret from me for the whole TWO FUCKING YEARS!"

Silenced invaded the room as their own breathes was the only thing they could heard. Seconds later Maryse and his siblings appeared behind him and he didn't bother to look around. "Alec please, let me explained." Maryse begged but he chose to ignore his mother and Izzy said the same thing to reassured him. But all he wanted was that bastard to speak but instead he smirked.

The nerve of this guy to smirk at the such situation which angers Alec more, Robert slowly stood and faced him, placing his palm on the table as his face came forward closer to Alec's, "Its about time, I'm getting tired of waiting for you to remember. Moment of truth I guess." He said and Alec chest raised and fall in anger as he felt the urge to punch his own father but for the sake of his mother, he held himself. "Robert please." Maryse cried and he eyed her to shut her up. Both Izzy and Jace had no idea why their father acted this way towards Alec and they too wishes him not to push Alec towards his limit.

"Why did you do that to me? Why did you leave me all alone in New York?" Alec began his questions and so far that was the only thing he remembered from his past and he acted like he remember everything so they would tell the truth. "Why? Let me refresh your mind Alexander, you chose to walk out from us after all these years, I have put roof over your heads, food on your plate, education for your future! Why you ask me? You should be asking yourself that Alexander. Why? Why you abandoned your family over some ridiculous confused mind of yours." Tears brimmed on Alec's cheek as he swallowed his fathers words. He felt twisting in his stomach and lump in his throat like something lodge in there.

"I am your son, you should have talk to me before deciding my future like that! I don't want to be betrothed but you made me and if I did marry Lydia all I do was hurting her and living in a lie for the rest of my life. Its not fair for her and definitely not fair for me too." Alec calmly told his father and he felt like this conversation should have been years ago and not today. "It works for your mother, living in a lie, I guess like mother like son." Robert said shamelessly and all of them gasped at his words. "Robert please, I begged of you." Maryse said as she stepped closer to him but stood her ground between her husband and her eldest son.

"You want to tell him or shall I? After all Maryse, he deserves to know the truth, this role play you've been playing is after all, long over due don't you think?" Robert asked and again smirked at the words which confuses Alec more. Jace and Izzy stood behind him and curiosity also clouded their mind. "Mum, what is he talking about?" Alec asked his mother and he could see Maryse already cried her tears out. Robert on the other hand had sat himself down back on his desk chair and he crossed his leg on top of each other with his palm clasped together. "You're not my son."

"WHAT?!" All of them screamed in shock and the only one who kept silent was their mother. Her eyes darted towards Alec and it begs him for pity but Alec kept his gaze at the man in front of him that he used to call father. He felt his whole world is crashing to the ground when he heard the word. "You-are-not-my-son. You are my wife's result of an affair with her old boyfriend which she's too fucking scared to tell him since he's the leader of mafia back in New York. I volunteered to marry her so she could hide her disgrace. But not long after he knew eventually and want you back so I let him." He explained and Alec felt his chest tightened, his breaths hitched as he breathes, he felt daggers piercing through his heart over and over again.

He was lost in his thought processing what his father said, affair, leader of mafia, could it be? Could his father be Christopher Amari? Maryse saw the curiosity in his eyes and questioning look on Alec's face so she decided to step closer and placed her palm on Alec's shoulder, "Alexander please let me explained." She said but Alec flinched and slapped her hand away. "Please tell me it was not him! Please tell me it wasn't him!" Alec stepped backward not wanting to be near his mother, "Please tell me Christopher Amari is not my father." He kept his hand on his chest clenching his shirt hoping to prevent the pain grew stronger but the look on Maryse face proven him wrong. When she nodded Alec felt like he want to kill himself, he wanted to end his life right here right now.

"I had too, he's not a good man Alec and he kept trying to take you away from me. I can't let that happened." Maryse tried to explain but Alec couldn't hear this anymore, his hand wrapped on his hair trying to stop his mind from all the things that happened. All of his lives, he looked up to his mother and how he loves her to death but hearing this today he felt betrayed, he felt cheated and this people he called family was not his after all. He look at Izzy who had tears on her cheeks same as her mother, how she look exactly like their mother and when he looked at Jace, he knew he is not their blood brother but at least he knew his parent are dead of a car accident.

"I can't do this, I can't- I don't-" Alec mumbles before he turned his back and ran out from the room heading towards the big door. He needed air, he needed space and he needed time to think. He heard Jace calling him out but he ran faster and never he thought he could but he did with his two strong legs, he out run him.
