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

Rory got ready in no time. Her lectures today starts at 7am, and she was thankful she was able to wake up early. How happy her mother would be when she finds out she could now wake up by herself. She giggled at the thought.

She swung her backpack over one shoulder and stepped outside. She went for something simple, as usual. A sky blue dress that stopped at her knee with a heart-shaped neckline. It fitted her perfectly, assentuating her curves.

She had no makeup on, but she made do with her lip balm.

She should have been happy today, now that Esther was back to her usual self with her, but she had a strange feeling which she couldn't explain.

This feeling made her crosscheck her school stuff for the nth time before stepping out, and even with that, she was now on a pause, trying to think why she felt like she was missing something. Or she should not be outside at that moment.

35. In love
