A pastor’s daughter abandoned church for the street… until her videos leaked on social media.

Chapter 1

Are some church girls really who they say they are? We’re about to find out in Rebecca’s story.

Rebecca was the girl everyone admired. The one with the radiant smile, the soft voice, the kind heart: the perfect pastor’s daughter. At just 19, she was everything a church girl should be: modest, obedient, and devoted to God. Every Sunday, she led worship with a voice that made people cry. She never missed morning devotions. She never questioned the rules. To the world, Rebecca was perfect.

But inside, she felt trapped.

She was tired of rules she didn’t create. Tired of being a pastor’s daughter who had to live up to expectations. Tired of pretending not to notice how different the outside world was: louder, freer, more exciting.

At school, the other girls gossiped about weekend parties, VIP clubs, and rich men who spoiled them with gifts. They wore makeup, designer clothes, and lived life without worrying about the congregation’s judgment. Rebecca sat quietly, listening, never joining in.

But curiosity… curiosity is dangerous.

And then Jessica arrived.

Jessica was everything Rebecca had been warned about: stunning, confident, and effortlessly glamorous. She smelled of expensive perfume, walked like she owned the world, and always had a new phone, a new purse, and new stories about rich men who adored her.

And Rebecca couldn’t tear her eyes away.

Jessica didn’t follow rules. She was the kind of girl Rebecca had been warned about. Beautiful. Confident. Untamed.

One afternoon, she sat next to Rebecca in the cafeteria, swirling her juice with her manicured fingers. “Always so quiet, church girl,” she reflected, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

Rebecca offered her a small, polite smile. “I just don’t talk much.”

Jessica watched her for a moment, then leaned in slightly and lowered her voice. “But you listen a lot, don’t you? And you observe a lot, too.” A pause. Then, with a teasing smile, “And I know you’re wondering what it’s like to be like me.”

Rebecca tensed her shoulders. “What do you mean?”

Jessica tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Life. Fun. Freedom. No rules. No expectations. No one watching your every move, waiting for you to be perfect.”

Rebecca opened her mouth to protest, but couldn’t find the words.

Jessica laughed softly. “Relax. I’m not here to convince you.” She tapped the straw on the cup. “I just think you’d be dangerous if you ever stopped pretending.”

Rebecca swallowed hard.

Jessica had no idea how right she was. Rebecca was already thinking those words very seriously, and even grew more curious.

The first lie was a small one.

Her father had told her to go straight home after choir practice. Instead, she went to Jessica’s. Just for an hour, she told herself. Just to see.

Jessica’s house was nothing like Rebecca’s strict home. No Bible verses framed the walls. No curfew loomed over her. No silent prayers echoed in the evening air. Instead, music vibrated through the rooms, making the walls vibrate. The scent of expensive perfume permeated the air. The girls relaxed on velvet sofas, their laughter mingling with the glow of ring lights as they recorded TikToks.

Jessica threw her a dress: short, tight, unlike anything Rebecca had ever worn. “Try it on,” she urged. “No one will know.”

Rebecca hesitated, brushing the fabric with her fingers. Then, slowly, she put it on.

In the mirror, a stranger stared back at her. Not the pastor’s daughter. Not the quiet, obedient girl. Someone else. Someone dangerous.

And for the first time, Rebecca wondered if she’d been living the wrong life all this time.

—

The first time she snuck out, it was too easy.

Her parents were at a church vigil. Her younger siblings were fast asleep. Jessica’s message popped up on her screen:

“Ready?”

Rebecca slipped on the dress, her fingers steady as she applied her makeup, mimicking what she’d seen Jessica do. Glancing in the mirror, she didn’t recognize the girl staring back at her. Excitement whipped under her skin as she stepped out, her heart pounding.

She slid into the backseat of a waiting taxi.

In the club, the music was deafening. The lights were blinding. The air was thick with perfume, sweat, and something else she couldn’t identify. The girls moved casually. The men watched them like trophies waiting to be claimed.

Jessica leaned in and whispered, “Welcome to the real world, church girl.”

Rebecca took a deep breath. Then she said,
