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."

It was as if Derek was right behind her and caught her right in time before her butt could kiss the cold hard floor.

Derek knew she had not walked in days. Okay, it was just a little over twenty-four hours but it could still cause some tingling in the legs when you try to walk after such long hours of staying in bed.

Rory held her breath and shut her eyes tight, grabbing unto her gown for support. Feeling his arm firmly around her waist and her back against his firm, broad chest was not helping.

"Are you okay?" Derek asked in worry. "Are you feeling dizzy?"

Rory nodded, feeling light-headed as well. Her shoulders were tensed and she felt stiff. Derek panicked when he saw that she wasn't breathing.

60. Not again!
