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

After their encounter with Glover, Derek and the detectives went to the meeting room in the station to have a discussion.

"Boss, I think he is just putting up an act." One of the detectives said.

"I think so too. With the way the witness talked about him, he could be doing all this to trick us in a way." Another seconded.

"How about we go over all the tests? That would solve this whole confusion and clear all doubts."

"Exactly. Maybe he's waiting for us to do that and then he would strike. The way he insisted, there could be a way out for him from that angle."

"Oh, so you mean there is no possibility that this man could actually not be the one we are looking for?" Another officer questioned.

The other one shrugged. It could or could not be. But this whole thing was getting a lot more suspicious especially the way the culprit himself requested for it.
