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?

She was about to breathe when she heard a deep, gruff voice.

"Get the girl."

His eyes that were groggily opened at first, shot wide open in surprise.

Where was he? He remembered and he was sure he was sleeping under a tree. What happened?

For a minute he thought he had been arrested. His heart thummed against his ribs, almost falling out in fright. He started panicking. No! It couldn't be!

Then he heard voices. He heard a feminine voice speaking of giving some injections to the stranger who was brought in a few minutes ago to relieve his pain.

He heard another join, a male, talking about how this stranger was robbed clean and injured.
