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

"Alright. Let's get going then." Derek said. "Just leave them here and let's go. I will send someone to come for them later." He added when he saw Charlotte picking up one of the bags.

"Oh, alright. Let's go, Rory." Charlotte placed her hand on Rory's back and moved with her.

Derek held the door for them. Rory tried as much as she could to avoid his gaze. She had recieved enough teasing from her mother. She didn't want to call for another round.

They slowly made their way to the parking lot. Derek was walking unusually slow this time, which made Rory and Charlotte wonder. But then it dawned on them. He didn't want them to walk fast because of Rory.

Rory blushed with the thought. This was too much for her.

They got to the parking lot and Derek led the way till they stopped by a black sedan. Derek ordered the guy who was by the car to go and get the bags from the ward and the guy quickly jogged back inside the building.
