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

"Really, that's the reason?" Joshua said amid laughter.

"Oh yeah. Did you forget the last time you came here?"

That day, she was cooking when Joshua came in to offer his help. Esther hand gladly accepted and gave him some vegetables to cut. He ended up giving himself a small cut and Esther rushed to help him.

Their closeness caused some sort of tension, as each of them were lost in their own thoughts, which made them lose track of time and by the time they were done dressing that small cut, the food on the stove was burnt.

Joshua jerked in laughter when he recalled that day. He felt sorry for giving her so much work because she had to start the whole process all over again. And also do the dishes as well. He had again offered to help, if not for anything, he wanted to help with the dishes, but Esther had politely declined.
