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 was still on phone, chatting with the inspector general and the team members in Dotan. They tried justifying their reason for asking for an additional two weeks.

Their reason was to do an intensive and thorough investigation in those two weeks to be sure they didn't overlook anything. Derek was not in agreement at first, but he decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Two weeks was not that far from coming so they would wait to see.

He saw some messages from Rejoice and sighed. He knew he couldn't keep ignoring her all the time, because doing so would even allow her to keep pestering him. He decided to reply this time since it was a text to ask how he was doing.

Rejoice who had been checking her phone for the past two hours since she sent a message to Derek, quickly checked her phone when it chimed. Derek and finally replied!! Which meant he was with the phone at the moment.
