Life has unexpected ways of turning things from 0 to 180 degrees in just a matter of seconds. 

Charlotte was mourning her husband's sudden demise with the only daughter they had, Aurora. And as if the pain of losing him wasn't enough, Derek, the boss of the dead man, came out of nowhere, to demand a mind blowing amount as a debt the man owed him. But meanwhile, he would take Aurora, their only daughter, with him, till Charlotte paid every penny.

Derek, a young man who had been through a painful experience, numbing his emotions in the process, found out that the man who betrayed him had a family somewhere, enjoying life. He vowed to kill them all. But ended up sparing their lives, taking Aurora, his only daughter, with him.


But wait, why has Aurora started to feel that Derek is not as scary as he looks? Why does she feel like she can bring life and light into his seemingly lonely, dark life? 

Will Derek open up to this foreign feeling that has started to trigger certain emotions in him?

Excerpt

She was in deep thoughts when she heard shuffling sounds and her head quickly snapped to the direction of the man. He was on his feet now, his gaze not leaving them. 

Charlotte and Aurora both scampered back in fear. He stared at them for some few seconds and wordlessly turned and walked towards the door. 

Aurora's eyes widened a bit. Wait, was it...was it over? Had he agreed to her mother's pleas? Was he going to leave them alone now? 

She was about to breathe when she heard a deep, gruff voice.

"Get the girl."

Six Ways To Sunday

Her name suited her perfectly, Derek thought. He realised he was smiling when his cheeks started to hurt. He hadn't smiled in a long while and just this little stretch caused pain.

He went to the washroom to brush his teeth and bathe. He was an early riser and mostly he skipped breakfast because he left early sometimes.

He dressed up and picked up his jotter. Right from work, he would go see Dr Suarez. He had a lot to discuss.

He got downstairs and went straight to his car. He was about to start the engine when he remembered something.

He knew Hayford. He was probably still holding a grudge against Rory, and might just disappear just so he wouldn't be asked to send her to school.

He had to look for someone else to do so. Trying to talk Hayford into understanding would be a waste of time. He knew him too well. He was that stubborn.
