Kourtney’s jaw drops for the two of us. She stiffens, looking up at Faith’s weird smile. “Oh, thanks…”

Faith looks past our heads to the sun shining outside in the sky. “It’s a beautiful Sunday, isn't it?”

“Y-yeah…” Kourtney responds.

She leans to the side and whispers, “What’s wrong with her?”

I wish I knew. I am just as confused as you are.

“Hey, Faith,” I say.

Holding the hems of her beautiful pink dress, Faith descends the stairs while humming a familiar busy sound, “Hmm hmm hmm hmm….”

Didn't she hear me?

“Fai—”

“Suz!” she calls out towards the kitchen. “I am off to the garden. Remember we are supposed to water the new flowers together.”

Bang! Came Susan’s response.

Faith twirls like a princess. Skipping and humming again, she glides towards the side door.

“Faith.”

“Come on,” Kourtney grabs my hand, stopping me. “Let’s leave her to do her work.”

She points at the three large suitcases. “Come help me settle in. I have lots of stuff.”

My eyes remain fixed on the side door. I d

    {Faith}“No!”Those words hit me like a sucker punch. I fall to my knees. “Please tell me it is not true. Tell me you are mistaken.”“I wish I was, Princess. She slipped tiny doses of cyanide in his food in his food. This caused his system to shut down slowly.”“Oh, my God. She killed him. I feel so stupid.”“Don’t beat yourself up. There's no way you could have known. Odette is an evil mastermind.”He reaches out for me. “I always suspected her. But I didn't want it to seem like I was just trying to lay the blame on someone else. I wanted to have proof. Jerry was having trouble getting evidence, which is why I went there myself with my recording glasses.”He sighs. “I guess I must have underestimated Odette’s willpower to keep her sins buried.”Tears blind me as I look at him. How is he not mad at me? I gave him hell for causing my father’s death! I called him all the worst names in the world.Yet, he still put his life in danger to get evidence. “You could have died!”“But I didn'

    {Ace}No one has ever aged faster. Wrinkles line the corners of her eyes and her forehead. Her thin lips tremble and her eyes twitch like a malfunctioning Barbie doll.“I…I have no idea what that is.”Her voice sounds lower than the crickets chirping. Who can tell this is the same woman whose shout can crumble a whole building?“Oddie, you are quite odd. Do you mean to tell me you don't know how to read? You went to school, right?She goes mute.“Don’t worry. I can read it for you.”I point at the label. “It says, CYANIDE. Have you heard about it before?”“Get that thing out of here!”“Why so scared? It’s just a sweetener. Isn't that why you put it in coffee every morning?”“I…I don't know what you are talking about. I have never seen that before. I never put it in Gabriel’s coffee!”BINGO!As I burst out laughing, she continues to stare at me with wide eyes.“See? You just shot yourself in the foot. I didn't mention anything about Gabriel.”Her mouth drops open. “My guess was right.

    {Ace}“What the fuck, bro!”Jerry slaps my forearm and digs his crusty long fingers into my skin. He chokes, “Let…go!”I grip a chunk of his hair with my other hand. “Have you forgotten that I am your big bro? Respect me!”“I do!” he coughs. “That’s why I said I learned from the best.”“That was an insult! And you know it.” I tighten the headlock. Jerry grabs my right leg and pulls it in. My foot slips off the floor. We both fall to the side. He elbows me in the belly. Then sinks his teeth into my arm.“Ow! You rat!”My grip finally comes loose. I fall on my back next to him. “You still fight like a little girl, bro!”He sniffs, glancing to the side. “I can say the same for you.”“Hahaha!”We both burst into laughter. “This is fucked up!”Jerry drags his ass up. He gives me a hand and pulls me up. He dusts my back. “We good?”I hold up my arm with the small bite mark. “What are you gonna do about this? She's gonna ask questions.”“Tell her you got your ass whooped by a huge redhead

    {Ace}The sight of Faith’s jaw dropping brings me back to my senses. Yo! What did I just do!I am yet to tell Faith about my findings. I still haven't found substantial evidence linking Gabriel’s cyanide poisoning to his bitch of a wife. Odette is the number 1 suspect in my books, but if I am going to make such claims, I need to have evidence to back it up.Faith already has a lot on her plate right now. She needs to defeat Odette in court and secure her money before we can talk about nabbing her father’s real murderer.How could I let it slip out now?My eyes revert to Allison who has an identical look to Faith’s. This troublemaker sure has a way of getting under someone’s skin. No wonder Jerry wants nothing to do with her. “What do you mean someone else killed my father?” Faith finally blinks.“Yes, explain yourself.” Allison eyes me. “Is there something you know that we don't?”Shoo! Go away!Seconds away from throwing Allison out, Jerry walks through the front door.I have neve

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 76 Annoying X 2

    {Faith}The air in the living room stills. The silence is deafening, save for the heavy footsteps coming from the second floor.Ace appears at the top of the stairs. Clad in a white tank top, grey shorts, Nikes, and a grey headband, his hand firmly grips a white tennis racket.Eddie shifts uneasily the moment Ace’s feet touch the living room floor.“The rumors are true. I have killed a thousand men who tried to come between me and this woman.”Eddie’s Adam’s apple bobbles as he swallows. Ace places the racket on a shelf nearby. Slowly, he unravels the strap on his gloves and takes them off one after the other. “I believe by now it’s clear that you must not get any funny ideas.”“Y-yes, sir.”Ace cups a hand over his ear and leans forward a little. “I can’t hear you…”I stand up and rush to him before he can take another step. In a harsh whisper, I say, “We had an agreement. You stay out of our meetings, and you only comment when I come to you for advice.”He scratches his stubble. “I

  • The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy   Chapter 75 You’re Special

    {Faith}A tear streams down one cheek. She taps her chest innocently. “I was only doing a kind gesture. She didn't have to call me stupid. You are being unfair!”“I heard when you said she's going to go to hell. You call that a kind gesture.”“I–I…” Kourtney stutters.“I have said my piece, Kourtney. Don’t even think of laying a hand on her ever again!”She stares at his angry face for a long second. Then with her hands over her red face, she runs into the house, crying.I almost feel bad for her.Surely it must be painful to get yelled at and not get pounded right after…“Hey…” The fire in Ace’s eyes melts as he turns to me. He looks me over. “Did I get here too late?”I shake my head. “Great!” He breathes a sigh of relief. “I have no doubt that you were holding it down well, but u couldn't bear to see her hand connect with your pretty face.”I blush, but my face isn't the only thing that heats up. She who has a mind of her own burns even though she’s more sore than a fresh wound.
