I really enjoyed it. Great writing and storytelling. Thank you for sharing

This chapter was  not for sensitive people. I'm glad Faith was able to kill her abuser. In the real world Faith as a black child,female, would have been trial as an adult. Sentenced to life in prison without parole. Studies have showen that black girls/women are punished more severely than other groups. Your writing is wonderful. Keep up the good work. Thank you Bain  

You know as I was reading this, I was thinking, she needs to kill him. She really had no choice. Her family wouldn't help her. She really had no one but herself and after having tried to get away from this f'ker before, she knew what would happen if she did get away this time, he was always going to be after his "property".

Gah, this girl couldn't catch a break back then. It doesn't seem as if she got therapy for her many instances of trauma. She really needs psychological help.

This was hard to read, but it happens to women in the real world. Maybe, not to this extent, but someone, somewhere is going through a version of this hell on a minute by minute basis.

Well done, Chica.

I find this a bit hard to believe. No one questions her motive for murder? No one? A 16 year old girl kills a grown ass man while covered in bruises and no one looks into it and thinks self defense? I can't.

Damn he killed their baby. I thought she was going to get away. That's sad, I would have really killed him. And her family doesn't care one bit. Horrible

Oh my gosh!! That is horrible. How can you allow this to happen to your daughter when you know its wrong? What type of shut is that?! I would kill the man that basically rapes my lil girl. That's so sad.

And Bish you a hoe, so we know that, it's a fact...you have no clue about Faith.  Heather what da hell do you mean decent woman.  No decent woman would cheat on her fiancé while he is deployed then.  Hate people who just have to have something negative to say.  Perry, nah he can't even have my platypus name (Phineas and Ferb) so I must come up with something else for him but he is so cocky they wouldn't choose him based upon personality alone.  His whole squad would plan his demise because his arrogance will get them killed.  He doesn't even know how to tone it down at all.  He gonna try Faith and she will have a flashback damn near killing his ass and that is what he needs.  Jackass.

Poor Faith. It's obvious that she still hasn't completly gotten over her past with her so called husband. That nightmare she had this time not only shows that Howard had physically abused her but verbally and emotionally as well. Perhaps all of these memories are flooding back to her beacuse Howard told her she'd never be anything special.

As for Conrad I think he's a loyal man and wouldn't cheat on Heather while he's still engaged to her but there's no denying that he is slowly starting to look at Faith diffrently. Oh and Heather is just a straight up bitch!

Please update soon.

Great update. Heather, Heather, Heather, yeah baby should need a blood transfusion @birth. Anne you have a feeling that is not Conrad's baby. As for, Ferry he is not going to make it  though Hell Week in the Seals training. Faith watch your back around him. Call Conrad Petty Officer  not Officer.

Robert was nothing but a pimp. And of his own daughter. don't care what "traditions" they brought over here. It's against the law in this country. DAMN.

Very good update.  Please update soon

She is 15 and he is not her father.......how come the hospital did not alert child services?  You need ID to verify you are a family member....and Howard cannot profess to being her husband because the hospital would also alert the cops.....I mean the hospital was not even suspicious....she was pushed....There had to bruising.  The hospital was not even remotely suspicious.   Really........
