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

In the control room. Prime City University...

"Boss, there's no signal. I've been trying for the past three hours now but... no results found." Joshua boldly said.

He had been trying to trace the car and find it's last location, but there was no signal that could make it possible. And he was afraid to tell Derek that he couldn't do it. He wasn't ready to face any wrath.

Derek sighed. He was also doing the same thing, trying to trace the last location of the car, but he was meeting dead ends. He was getting frustrated by every passing second, and he was burning with fury deep inside.

The fact that he was there but could not do anything was making his blood boil. He had promised Charlotte that he would not let any harm befall her daughter.

He couldn't even bring himself to think of something happening to her either, but here he was, useless. Not able to do a single thing.
