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

A nurse came running towards Derek.

"Sir, Dr. Hanson called for you. You need to see this."

Derek sprang to his feet and in a flash, he was already inside the building. The nurse had to literally run to catch up.

Charlotte wanted to run after them. Was it about her daughter? What happened to her? She began to panic. Oh, she was not going home anymore. She would stay till Derek comes back to find out what happened.

Derek rushed through the handwashing and gowning process. He would have skipped it all if he didn't know how important it was to maintain the sterility of the ICU. Seeing the doctor that called for him, he slowed down his pace.

"She's awake!" Dr. Hanson blurted even before Derek could ask.

He dashed towards the glass wall and stilled when he saw her.

54. Derek is here...
