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."

Derek left the station and headed for the old mansion. He didn't even want to think about the criminal and his pretentious cries. But for records sake, he would need Luke to confirm if it indeed is him.

One of the officers dropped him off at the entrance of the mansion. When the security at the gates saw him at the backseat, he quickly opened the gate to let them in. After muttering a thanks to the officer, he sauntered into the mansion.

Derek went directly to Joshua's room to check on him. Before he could knock on his door, it opened and Esther was just about stepping out with a tray in her hand.

"Boss?" She was a bit surprised to see him since she wasn't expecting his return at that time.

"Sure, boss. I was even stepping out. He just finished eating." Esther said and made way for Derek to get inside the room. "Do you need anything, boss? Water? Juice?"

95. What he truly wanted
