It was time to let Jace know exactly where I stood.

"Jace, what you're calling a 'small mistake' is something I just can't brush off. You know me well enough to understand that I don't tolerate any kind of betrayal, I said, stepping back to put some distance between us.

Our eyes locked for a second before I refocused on Jace.

Jace's expression was a mix of impatience and annoyance, like he thought I was being totally unreasonable. "You should know by now that in today's world, no one stays faithful forever.
