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

They matched to the parlour, near the fire place where there was a couch facing the glass wall at the other side, and a bean bag across the glass centre table.

"Oh, this would really go with popcorn. Should I quickly make some?" Esther asked and paused on her tracks. She would turn to the kitchen as soon as they approved and make the popcorn.

"That would do. But don't stress yourself. Are there snacks? Like some biscuits or crackers?" Joshua asked. He wouldn't let her girl stress just because of some silly games.

"Oh yeah. There are some a few packs. I'll go get them."

They sat down, Rony and Jeremiah taking the couch. Esther came back with the snacks and sat on the bean bag with Joshua.

She threw some packs of snacks to Rony and Jeremiah who caught them. Rony tore his pack and started munching on it while the rest fumbled with theirs as they tore them.
