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

"Esther! Oh my God I missed youuuu!" Rory beamed and pushed herself up from her seat to meet her but Esther took quick steps towards her.

"Oh dear!" She crouched down a little and engulfed Rory in a hug while she sat on her chair. "I missed you even more. You have no idea how hard it was being in this very hospital and not allowed to see you!!" Esther whined and kissed Rory hair while Rory held onto her hand as she hugged her.

They broke from the hug and Esther squatted beside her.

"How are you doing?" She asked with concern.

"Much better, thank you." Rory smiled. "Oh, I missed you!" She threw her arms around her neck and hugged her again. Esther chuckled. "Come sit here with me." She broke free from the hug and pulled a chair to her right for her.

Derek was seated in front of her and Charlotte was seated on her left. Esther came to sit on her right and pulled out something from her bag.
