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

Derek went back home after the lunch with Rejoice. She had blabbered on and on about her modelling career and how her father intended to hand all the family fortunes over to her.

Rejoice had asked Derek to take her to his home, but he had politely declined with an excuse that he was on a mission and was not supposed to go home.

"I won't be long, I promise. I just want to know where you stay, please, Derek." Rejoice pleaded with Derek to take her to his home. She had held unto Derek's hand that was on the table in both hands and was looking at him with puppy eyes and flattering her eyelashes.

Derek released his hand and massaged his forehead in frustration. He knew Rejoice had obsession issues. Right from when she set her eyes on him at the rehab centre, she had not given him any breathing space. He could remember how happy he was when the time finally came for him to leave the rehab.
