I want center the title "Preface" and "Abstract" only. I do not want to centralize all the chapters. I can not and I should not delete any bookstore, I need all the libraries.

Set the title inside a makebox[linewidth]; this naturally centres it. It would not have any impact on headers or the ToC since these elements don't end up there.

Fast solution
You could set a manual space
chapter*hspace.4textwidthPreface
which puts the title almost in the middle of the page
Reasoned solution
Otherwise you could think of measuring the length of your title and make the thing more precise with the package calc
%PREAMBLE
usepackagecalc
newlengthmylen
newcommandchaplen[1]
setlengthmylen(textwidth-widthofHugebfseries #1)/2

Should all chapter titles be centred, or only unnumbered chapters?
