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

After about 30 minutes, Dwayne came up to him.

"Sir. I believe we can set off now." He said to Derek who had his arm swang over his eyes as he relaxed on the couch, his head lolled back and facing up.

He removed his arm and sighed before getting up. He needed to check on the women to ensure their safety once the jet took off.

He first checked on Charlotte. With a knock, she came out.

"We'll be taking off in 10 minutes." He announced.

"Oh... okay. Um.... please, is there something I should do or not do? This is my first time on an aircraft." She chuckled and Derek smiled. He could tell it was indeed her first time.

"Let me show you. I hope you don't mind me coming inside?"

"Oh, not at all." Charlotte said, impressed with the way he respected people's privacy. Her respect for him doubled that instant.

83. Nice smile
