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

"Are you sure she's okay?" Derek asked again for the seventh time. The doctors understood his worry so they answered each time.

"She'll be fine. Don't worry. The sedatives and the other medications she has been given will help her relax some more. When she's well rested, she'll come back to normal." They explained.

Derek was back at the glass wall, watching Rory. They had a hard time prying her from him earlier, she didn't want to leave his side. Derek had to calmly talk to her for a long time before she let go of him and allowed the doctors to attend to her.

Now that she was fine, he couldn't help but think all that happened to her. They had attempted raping her?! They! Or was it just one person? Perhaps the one they were working for?

He went over and spoke with the doctors and left quickly. Spotting Jeremiah, he signalled him to come over.

"I hope you sent Charlotte yourself. You being here by this time..."
