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?

He moved to the other side, away from the gunshots, to take a clearer view of what was going on. Where was that damn shooter?

Oh, there. He saw a young guy shooting like his life depended on it. And why would he shoot when there's no one in sight? What stupidity was that? Clearly, he was not trained in shooting.

Then he felt someone moving towards him, he pulled his gun and turned sharply.

"Its me!! It's just me, boss." Isaac was quick to save his ass. Derek never missed a shot, so he would have been dead meat by now.

"Where are the others?" Derek asked in a whisper.

50. Let her live
