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

The next morning came rather quickly. Charlotte rose up early, preparing to go to the hospital as she had planned. She decided to prepare Rory's favourite chicken vegetable soup, steaming hot, in a flask. Just in case she woke up today.

She washed down and wore something comfortable and tied her hair in a pony tail. After having a simple breakfast, she decided to pass by her grocery shop to check on some few things. Since it was still weekend, she would not spend so much time there.

When she got there, she was surprised to find the shop opened. Edna was already arranging some items on the shelves outside. Charlotte had almost forgotten that she gave a spare key to her.

When she saw Charlotte from afar, Edna gently dropped the box of apples and hurried to meet her, dusting her hands in her apron as she went.

"Aunt Charlotte! You really got me worried!" She said. "How are you doing?" She greeted and helped her with the small bag that she was holding.
