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 felt some painful sting in his chest. Whenever he was reminded of his loneliness, the pain resurfaced. It was like a pin inside his chest that pricked him each time.

And now he had to face it all. He really had no option. He had to do it unless he didn't want to live too. Well, as a matter of fact he didn't. There was no point in living when you were going to be lonely.

"You have to learn to live with the pain, Derek. I know it's hard, but avoiding it won't be easy either." Mr Mills kept assuring him. "And no one else can manage all those properties except you."

Derek clenched his jaw. His eyes were now red and it stung really bad. He blinked and felt some hot liquid on his cheeks. He was crying. He didn't even realise that.

Then he felt an arm drape around him over his shoulders. Mr Mills pulled him into his chest and held him tight.

"It's okay to cry sometimes. Don't hold it in. Let it all out."
