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

It was almost time dor dinner. Rory had been spending most of her time with Mrs Macy in the kitchen and part of her time in the flower garden. Now she could proudly say that she was getting better at cooking.

She was slowly getting used to onions although she cries a little in the beginning. She couldn't wait to show Esther. She already missed her.

Rory and Mrs Macy had finished dinner with the help of other workers in the mansion. Rory couldn't hide her joy. She felt proud of herself and rushed to her mother a room to call her down for dinner. Her mother would be her tasting officer.

Charlotte would also come around sometimes and help, but Rory had been strict on her getting enough rest and eating well to regain her lost weight. Charlotte understood her daughter's worry and did as she pleased, not wanting her to make a fuss about it.
