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."

The head of security stood there, stupefied. He felt so useless. How did he not notice all these? Oh God, now his job was definitely at stake.

"I'm sure you noticed this glitch too." Joshua's voice was laced with sarcasm and annoyance.

The man could only look down in embarrassment. He could be taken in for this negligence. He hoped not...

"Please... what happened? What did you see?" Mabel asked in worry. She had an inkling that Rory has been kidnapped but she was afraid to hear it out loud. She hoped it was something else, though she couldn't think of anything else.

Joshua stared ahead, his eyes hooded with his tightly creased brows and blazing dark with anger. His jaw and fists clenched.
