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."

One of the men, slightly built and young, came around and opened the door for Derek. The person stepped aside and offered a deep bow.

"Welcome home, young master." He greeted with a smile. As a matter of fact, all the people around were beaming with smiles and Rory wondered why.

Had it been so long since he last visited this place? It could be. They all seemed to have missed him. Or was she tripping?

The young guy just stood there as Derek opened the back door for Rory and Charlotte to step out. Rory was a huge the guy would have opened it if he knew there were other passengers on board.

Rory's heart started beating wild and so did Charlotte's. They slowly got down, Charlotte stepping down first followed by Rory.
