{Faith}

I don't know what all the commotion is about, but I don't want to go out there now. My phone buzzes with a text from Allison.

[Just go peep]

[No!] I respond for the umpteenth time in the last hour.

[What if you are under attack?]

[I don't think so. The commotion has already died down. Besides, Jerry previously assured me that attacks rarely ever happen.]

The three bubbles appear on the screen. It disappears and reappears.

[Oh…Jerry. How is he?]

[Weren’t you typing an epistle?]

[Not helping, Faith. I want that man. And I am going to get him.]

I chuckle. [You do you, Ally. Just don't get hurt]

[You too. Don’t get hurt]

I know she’s referring to my entanglement with Ace and the sudden appearance of his first love, but I don't want to flog the matter.

[Bye!] I respond, then turn off my phone.

The empty water bottle on the table stares back at me. After working on all my outstanding papers, I am starving and about to die of thirst.

My eyes flick to the door. “They may have g

    {Faith}“What’s going on here?”Before I can process the absolute mess Kourtney just caused, Ace appears in the hallway. He matches over, wearing the same clothes from yesterday.“Jonny!” Kourtney calls out, bursting into tears.“What happened?”When his narrowed eyes flick to me, I stutter, “I–I don’t know. I just came to make myself a sandwich…”Ace looks at the wrap in my hand.“She’s lying!” Kourtney screams again. “I came here to pour myself a glass of juice because I was thirsty. But she came out of nowhere. Insulting me and calling me a whore!”I gasp. “No, I did not!”“Jonny, you have to believe me. I wanted to extend an olive branch, but she pushed me to the pot of stew and tried to run away.”Ace looks at me again. His eyes travel down to my feet which are apart. One over the threshold of the door and the other still in the kitchen.“I know how it looks, but I never attacked her. She tried to rile me up. But I did the logical thing of walking away. I don't know how she got t

    {Faith}My breath catches. I stare at the door. What could be lying behind it? Some sort of hideout? A room filled with guns? Illegal stash of... Drugs!I let go of the doorknob. “Oh…I just remembered that I have something to do.”“Not so fast.” Ace catches my arm as I try to walk past him.I feel his gaze burn on my forehead as I try to avoid his eyes. “What? Do you have something to say?”“Eavesdropping will do you no good, Princess.”“Who says I was?” I finally look at him, putting on the most deadpan expression I can muster.“How much did you hear?”“I didn't hear a thing.”“Well then. You should know that Kourtney wants you to stay.”“No, she doesn't! I heard when she asked you to throw me out!”Ace cocks his head, raising a brow.Shit!I bite my tongue. I just told on myself!His expression darkens. “What did I tell you about lying to me?”“I…I…” Ace lets go of my arm. “Go to your room. I do not want to be disturbed.” He undoes the top button of his shirt and walks back to Ko

    {Ace}It happens so fast. The shiny blade slashes into her thin wrist cleanly. Blood seeps out the next second.“Kourt!”She raises the knife again. “Leave me alone! I want to die!”Snatching her right wrist, the knife falls to the floor, missing my foot by a bit. I slap several pieces of paper towels on the cut on her other wrist.“Let me die,” she mumbles, collapsing onto my chest.Without thinking twice, I lift her in my arms.“Get the nurse!”I yell at Jerry once I spot him in the living room. He swings into action without a word.“How is she?” I ask the nurse, standing away from Kourtney’s bed an hour later.The nurse shoves her tools into her bag. “She didn't lose a lot of blood. Thankfully, the cut missed an artery. She’s going to be fine.”I glance at Kourtney who’s fast asleep with a gauze wrapped around her left wrist. Her face is pale and dark bags sit under her eyes.Kourtney is a strong-willed woman. Messy breakup or not, the last thing I expected her to do was try taking

    {Ace}“You have got to be kidding me, Kourtney.”Kourtney sinks into the sofa and crosses her legs. Her dress moves further up. “No, I am not. I’m here to stay, Jonny.”“Give me a minute, okay?” I say to Faith.My patience runs thin as I move to the living room. “What’s that supposed to mean, Kourtney? I thought I made things clear yesterday. Why barge in here now?”She glances past me. “I see that whore is still here.”“Watch your mouth! Don't you dare call her that!”Kourtney rolls her eyes. “Anyway, it doesn't matter. I am here to take back my rightful place.”“What the hell is wrong with you? I have moved on.”“How could you? I thought you said you loved me!”“You broke up with me, remember? You left me because you wanted to pursue your modelling career! What did you expect me to do? Sit still and wait for your gracious return?”“Yes!”What! How can someone be so arrogantly clueless? I always knew Kourtney to be so self-centered. When we met as 15-year-olds, she was sweet at first

    {Faith}“Oops!” Kourtney covers her mouth. “Sorry…”The mocking smile on her face says otherwise.I bite my tongue, holding my scream. I shake my feet one after the other. The scald stings.Kourtney almost blinds me with her hair as she flips it back. “Listen here, Florence.”“Faith.”“What!” Ignoring her scowl, I repeat firmly, “My name is Faith. Not Florence.”“Same thing, bitch.” She snaps her fingers sassily. “I don't know what the arrangement is between you and my man, but you need to get lost.”I put the cup of the floor. God knows if I give in to the thoughts swirling in my head right now, things are gonna get really ugly.After taking a deep breath, I say, “If you have a problem with me being here, you should pick that up with Ace. I am not allowed to leave.”She scoffs. “I see you are one of the stubborn ones.”“Listen…” Her shadow on the wall towers over mine as she steps forward. I roll my shoulders back, sticking up my chest as much as I can.“He is mine!”“I heard you g
