All Chapters of The Preacher’s Daughter: Stolen By The Enemy: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

{Ace} The vein at the back of my hand pops as I grip the steering wheel tighter. I give Allison a side-eye. “Get the fuck out of my way!”She grips the door handle and pulls. “Step out and face me, you coward! What did you and that bitch do to my friend!”“Am I her keeper? How would I know?” My words hurt me more than I expected they would. I want to be her keeper. At least, I was until she cheated on me with her ex.“Don’t play with me, Ace! I am not Faith or one of your ass-licking men. You better tell me where my friend is or I will burn this whole place down!”Allison throws her hands up as she talks. Her eyes blaze red and her lips quiver with unquantifiable anger.I always knew she was so not like Faith. But what I didn't realize is that she's this crazy.“Are you out of your mind or something?” My anger matches hers. I point at her head. “You two cooked up a lie about having a sleepover last night, yet you barge in here to cause a scene?”“I haven't heard from her since last

{Faith}Ink seeps into the paper, spreading like blood as I make the first stroke of my signature. Suddenly, my belly churns. Bile rises to my throat. Covering my mouth, I jump to my feet. The document falls to the floor.“Faith!” Matthew calls out as I run into the guest bathroom just down the aisle.As soon as I fall to my knees near the toilet bowl, the pancakes I had for breakfast come pouring out like a murky river.The sound my throat makes is animalistic. I gag over and over with my head almost down the bowl.A couple of minutes pass before I hear Matthew coming in. “Hey…are you all right?”I push my hair out of my face, nodding with my head still lowered. “Just an upset stomach. I will be fine.”I spit into the bowl. “I think I’ll go lie down for some hours.”“But the deed of assignment…” Matthew pushes the document in front of me.Holding my knees, I stand up. I feel woozy as I raise my head to look at him.Is he being serious right now?I rush in here to throw up, but inste

{Ace}Outside the house feels just like a step away. Within seconds, I get into my car and strap myself in. The door of the passenger seat suddenly opens“I am coming with you!” Allison says, slipping in.“No, you are not!” I start the car. “Get out, please.”“Faith is my friend! And weren’t you the one who just said we need to team up?”“You are a little too much. When we get there, you might just beat someone up before I can even ask the right questions.Her expression darkens. “And you aren’t? Tell me you are not going there to just “talk”? Where is your gangster!”“Come get your little girlfriend, please…” I beg Jerry who just showed up by my window.“Sorry, boss.”He shakes his head, opens the backseat door, and hops in.“We are both coming with you…” He pounds his fist against his palm. “Someone is about to get beat up. I can feel it.”“Now that’s what I am talking about!”Allison turns back to give Jerry a high-five.To my surprise, he doesn’t leave her hanging.Since when did

{Faith}“What!”That’s what ripples through the throats of Odette, me, and Matthew.The dizziness clears from my eyes as I sit up on the bed. I open the document she just handed me. Reading through, I can barely make sense of it.“I think we all misheard you doc. What did you just say?”The doctor glances at Matthew and Odette who have their jaws on the floor. “Errr…you are two months pregnant, ma’am. Congratulations.”I burst out laughing. “You have got to be kidding, doc. I am not pregnant. I can't be pregnant.”“I am a doctor, not a comedian. Besides, I would never joke about a patient's diagnosis. You really are pregnant.”The last sentence drops like a bomb, heavier than the first time she said it. Her face is serious, and her eyes…they mirror even more seriousness.Oh, my God!She's really not joking.My hand flies to my belly.I am pregnant!That explains why I have been so tired and lacking appetite for days now. A literal child is growing inside of me!A shiver sweeps from th

{Faith}Take his hand.That’s what the voice in my head says.Go to him.The voice says again.I stare at his hand. Then back at his face. There's something about the way he looks at me. It’s the same expression male leads in those romance movies have when they are looking at the female leads.Matthew has never looked at me this way before.“She’s going nowhere with you!”Matthew pulls me to his side again.“Let her decide, you moron!” Ace says rather quietly.He shakes his outstretched hand. “I know you can feel it, Princess. Even though you don't remember me, I know somewhere in your heart, you feel something for me.”“She feels hatred for you!” Matthew roars before looking down at me, “Right, honey?”“Y-yeah…”The second that word comes out of my mouth, I hiccup. I slap my chest.A small smile tugs at the corners of Ace’s lips. “I can tell when you are lying, Princess. You were never quite good at it. Except for one time, of course.”He waves. “That aside… When we hugged, you felt
