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

Charlotte dreaded where her thoughts were drifting to. But she couldn't help it. She had been waiting for close to one hour now. What at all is keeping them waiting till this time of the night?

"Ma'am..." Esther attempted trying to ease the tension for the nth time already. "Let me get you something to eat. I'm sure they'll be here in no time."

Charlotte sighed. The girl was trying hard, she could see that. But it wasn't working. It only made her more nervous and suspicious.

"I'm fine, my dear. I'm just worried they're not here yet. I wonder what has kept them."

Esther was surprised by her response. She was expecting her to snap and shout at her.

"I'm surprised myself. They have never kept this long. I've been calling his number for several times now, but..." she shook her head looking extremely worried.

Charlotte looked at her keenly. She didn't look like she was pretending. Or maybe she was just very good at acting.
