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

Hayford tucked her in bed, avoiding her eyes as much as possible. He bid her good night and left her room, switching off the light and closing the door. He was now feeling guilty. Guilty for not thinking before speaking.

He had never had a hard time making a decision. He had always been firm in going by the 'no feelings attached' rule with his flings. And he always won, because he had never developed any feelings for any of them.

So why was this any different? Why was he even thinking of love? Why the hell did those words even come from his mouth? What mess had he landed himself into?

He tossed in the bed. Now he was sure it was from the heat of the moment that made him spew such nonsense. At that particular moment, he couldn't control himself. He couldn't resist the temptation of her alluring eyes and cute soft lips. And her responsiveness fuelled his lust and perhaps made him say all those things which he was sure he never meant any of them.
