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

Elaine's hand shook when the knock came again. She gulped in nervousness as her eyes kept fixed on the door. Was it Hayford? Gosh, No! She was not prepared for him yet!

What was she going to say? Tell him she loved him? How to even start this whole thing was a big headache. No! What should she do?

The person knocked again and this time, the sudden knock scared the crap out of Elaine, causing her to lose hold on the tray. It came crashing down with the other utensils, the glass breaking into several pieces. Now shards of glass flew everywhere, in all directions.

The door flew open with a start, and a worried Hayford budged in. His eyes searched the room and settled on her. As soon as their eyes met, Elaine's body slightly shook in fright, like a kid who had been caught in a shameful act.

"I... I..." She tried to speak, but nothing coherent was formimg. Her eyes were still widely opened and her breathing was a bit haggard.
