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 stilled at the sound of Charlotte's voice. Her hold on the phone tightened and her throat hurt from the hard lump that had formed. She wanted to say something but only a sigh left her lips.

"Edna, how are you?" Charlotte's voice came in again.

"Aunt Charlotte..." Edna repeated her name, her voice breaking. "Where... how are you? Are you okay? How's sis..."

"Edna calm down. We are doing very well, dear. Gosh, forgive your terrible aunt for not checking up on you."

"It's okay, aunt. I'm just happy to finally hear from you. And I'm glad that both you and sister Rory are doing well." Edna sniffed and wiped her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. I will come back home as soon as possible, okay?"

Edna nodded, as if Charlotte was standing in front of her. She couldn't talk now that she had heard from Charlotte. Relief washed over her soul, and she felt as though some big log was lifted off her head.
