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?

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."

Esther sighed and looked down. "I have so many exceptions."

Joshua's arms tightened around her and he kissed her temple.

"That makes you even more special." He assured, making Esther peek at him through the mirror with a smile.

She turned around to face him and threw herself into his embrace, pressing her face on his broad chest.

"I love you, Joshua." She couldn't help but declare her selfless love for this guy right here.

Joshua smiled and pressed his lips on her forehead, drawing her closer to himself till there was no space between them. He leaned closer to her ears and whispered.

"I love you more than you can ever imagine, babe."

Esther blushed. How did she get so lucky? Did she save a nation in her past life?
