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

Joshua looked back at Derek's face. The girl? Oh, it looked like she was fine now. Thank goodness.

"Fernando's daughter?" Luke asked and Joshua nodded while Derek ignored him and turned to Joshua.

"Have you heard anything from the men patrolling the house?" Derek asked Joshua.

"Yes, boss. I spoke with them some few minutes ago and they told me they had seen no one around the house. Just some mad man this morning, but they sent him away."

"Mad man?" They both turned to Luke who had just spoken. He didn't mean to interrupt but they were not talking in private so he heard them.

"Are you... referring to the cottage, if I may ask?"

"Yes, where we rescued the girl. Anything wrong?"

"That was not a mad man." Luke whispered with a grimace, as if afraid of his own words. He looked up at the two men standing before him.
