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."

Rory relaxed in the couch and fastened her seatbelt. She did so to secure herself just in case she falls asleep and is not able to do that before the plane descended.

She turned her head to face outside through the small glass window provided. She could see the clouds and clear blue sky, and wished she could open the window and touch them.

As much as she wanted to have a little nap, she didn't want to sleep in front of Derek, and also, she wanted to avoid any accidents just in case she would fall off the couch during landing the plane.

After an hour and some few minutes, Rory felt Derek move and she whipped her head to his direction.

"Oh... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." Derek said, surprised.
