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

Charlotte was slowly getting out of sleep when she heard low voices. She opened her eyes and the sight that greeted her had her heart melting into a puddle.

She couldn't hear exactly what they were talking about, but the young man seemed to be comforting her daughter. She felt some warmth fill her as she watched them.

She did not know why this man had suddenly become this nice to them. But when she thought back to their first encounter, he did not really do anything outrageous to them. Save the gun and then taking Rory away.

The first day he broke into their home, he had not said a word and they were not hurt either. It was only natural for him to have done what he did. If it was true that Fernando had stolen such a huge amount from him, he was not wrong to come after his family for it.
