{Faith}

Hot steam follows me into the bedroom. I flip my damp hair out of my face. I should dry it. But I am already running out of time.

“What the!” I jump, stopping in my tracks.

Sitting next to my underwear and clothes on the bed is Ace. He raises his head. “Finally!”

“What are you doing in here!” I clutch the towel around my bosom.

He smirks. “If I see something I haven't seen before, I will throw a dollar at it, Princess.”

My body instantly goes cold. I have been trying to avoid him for nearly a week now. I leave for school before the crack of dawn and only return at dusk.

In the last three days, I haven't even heard his voice around the house, let alone seen him.

Didn't he get the memo?

“Come here.”

I do not move an inch. “Why are you in my room?”

“Do I need an excuse to come here? This is my house, remember?”

“And I won't be here if you aren't making me stay here!”

He looks at me as if I just said the Earth is flat. “I saved your ass, Faith!”

I hesitate. He must be really piss

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 90 Not Quite Dead Yet

    {Faith}This is torture. I can't stay awake. Can't feel my legs or arms. I keep having nightmares as I lie here.And the hallucinations… they won’t stop coming. Even now, I can smell him and feel his presence even though he’s not here.I don't know what Susan injected into me. But once it wears off, she and I are going to have our very first fight. She better have a good explanation for why—“Princess…”A voice, low and husky, whispers into my ear. My heart does a backflip. I try to open my eyes, but they feel as heavy as lead.Why does this feel so real? I move my right hand, only to feel something hard. I press against it.“Ouch! Be gentle…”There it is again! That voice.I force my eyes open with all my might. I see nothing still, but the sound of soft breathing reaches my ears.“Ace?”“Yes, Princess.”An arm pulls me close. Something soft presses against the top of my head. “I am right here.”I blink hard and open my eyes again. And then I see his face glowing in the dark. His ey

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 89 The Midwife

    {Ace}A spiral.A dark abyss.Nothingness. That’s all I see.Where am I?Am I dead?“Ace!”Suddenly, a piercing wail rings in my ears. My body shoots up and my eyes fly open.“Faith…”There’s an itch in my throat and my voice comes out raspy. I looked around, only to find myself lying in a bed covered with a bright flowery blanket. A brown wooden nightstand sits nearby. On it is a bowl filled with scalpels and whatnot.Where the fuck am I? How did I land here?The last thing I remember is getting shot multiple times in the chest by Marcello’s son. After leading them away from Jerry for about twenty minutes, they finally accosted me at a small intersection, still in the middle of nowhere. My life flashed before my eyes, and so did the bullets. They left me for dead. So how am I still alive?I throw off the girly blanket. The second my feet touch the ground, I freeze as a tearing pain shoots through my whole body from my chest.“Argh!”The wooden door immediately swings open. A middl

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 88 Black Saturday

    {Faith}Usain Bolt has got nothing on me as I run out of the kitchen. A green Prius pulls into the driveway the second I get outside.My heart stops.This isn't Ace’s car! In fact, I have never seen this car in my life!The door to the driver’s seat opens. A head with red hair sticks out.“Jerry!” I run over to him.Jerry closes the door with his left hand. His right arm is hanging in a sling. His lips are cracked and dry as he forces a smile. There's a small fresh cut just at the corner of his left eye.“Where is he?” I peer into the car, only to find all the seats empty.“Ermm…”I grab his shirt. “Where is he!”“Calm down, Faith.”“Don’t tell me to calm down! You two left together, didn't you? Why are you back home without him? What happened to him?”A sharp pain tears through my heart. “Did something bad happen?”Jerry exhales.I clutch his crumpled shirt tighter. “Is he dead? Is my Ace dead?”He exhales again.Out of the corner of my eyes, I see Ace’s men gather. Their heads lower

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 87 That’s My Girl

    {Faith}As soon as I make it far from the crowd, my phone buzzes in my bag. I take it out and see an unsaved number on the screen.The text message contains only a link. Panic coils in my chest as I tap on the link.It loads slowly.What’s happening? Did one of Ace’s enemies kill him and then send an untraceable link to the gory scene?No, that cannot happen!Finally, the link loads into a green and white text interface. A message pops up a second later.[That’s my girl]Ace? Is he here?I look around quickly, but he's nowhere to be found. How did he know what I just did? And why is he texting me through this weird thingy?My fingers tremble as I text back. [Are you okay?][I will be.][Where are you?][You can't come even if I told you.][Try me!][Where I am at is not a place for a princess.]I start to type again. [But I can…][Stay where you are. Once I am done, I will come back to you. I promise.]The screen suddenly goes black. And just like that, I am back to the normal text c

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 86 Hosea

    {Faith}Ace pinches my chin. “Why is it taking you so long to respond, Princess?”“Because I am scared.” I plop down on my bed. I can't hold his gaze anymore. He might just see through me. That’s if he hasn’t already. I’ll admit. A part of me thought about using Matthew.Just for a fleeting second. Nothing major.Ace sits down beside me. “You are scared of me? But I was just kidding.”I stop fiddling with my fingers. “Really?”He strokes my hair again. “I trust you.”“Really?”He chuckles. “…which is why for the next few days, you don't have to be under my close watch.”“You are throwing me out? Am I being punished for something?”He gets on his feet. “No. I just have to be somewhere for a few days. Jerry is coming with me.”“Where are you going?”He shakes his head. “Trust me. You don't want to know.”I follow him to the door. “Will you be back? Will someone else take me to school?”He steps out of the room and turns. “Yes, and yes. One of my men will. He’s gonna protect you.”“When

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 85 Let’s Get Back Together

    {Faith}Boredom shifts to disgust within a millisecond. “And to what do I owe this unfortunate call? Can't you see the time?”“Faith...” Matthew drawls.His voice sounds like someone who just woke up from sleep or has just finished shouting his lungs out.Serves him right!After he watched Ace and me have hot sex in the car, I suppose he's still pretty pissed. But why call me? To tell me how much of a slut I am?I already know that!“Faith…” he calls me again. “I know I am the last person you want to hear from right now, but I just called to let you know that I don't want to be with her anymore. I want you, Faith. Let’s get back together.”“Are you drunk or something?”He sighs. “I am not actually. You know alcohol is not really my thing.”“Then you must have hit your head. Call the hospital, Matthew. I haven't got time for this!”“Wait!” he yells.I stop just as I was about to hit the red icon on the screen.“What!”Matthew sighs again. “I know you might not believe me, but I had no
