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

Edna had not been herself since the day Charlotte left the shop to visit Rory in the hospital. She regretted not insisting on going with her. Now since then, she had not set her eyes on both Mother and daughter. She didn't know what to do.

She had gone to their home, since she usually visits, to check on them. Maybe they had been discharged. But she was surprised when she found out they had not been home at all.

The neighbours were not even aware Rory was hospitalised, let alone know which hospital she was sent to. This made Edna even more surprised and nervous.

Did Charlotte lie to her? Or maybe it was true and Rory's situation had worsened and she had to be transferred to a bigger hospital...

She paced in her room one early morning, not knowing what to do. She didn't know where to start the search from. Should she scout the various hospitals nearby? Or should she go to Rory's school to check on her?
