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

Night came and they journeyed on. The weather became raspy and cold as the bus sped along the asphalted road, and Derek followed the running trees with his eyes. Even though it was now late in the night, he didn't feel sleepy. His eyes were just fixed outside.

The bus came to a stop at exactly 1am. It was very late in the night. This wasn't the plan. He would have arrived maybe around 5am or 6am if he had waited a little longer before setting off. He had left on impulse earlier.

Now he had to lodge in a hotel till the day finally broke. He could have just gone to the old mansion, but he didn't want to disturb the sleep of the workers at this time of the night with his arrival.

He went to the nearest hotel and booked a room for the rest of the night and soon, the day broke without him having a wink of sleep.
