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

"It's not a match, Mr Morghan." Eden Colman, the lead investigator of the other unit reported, extending his hand for Derek to take the results.

Derek didn't know why, but this didn't come as a surprise. He had somehow expected this results. As much as a second opinion was necessary, he still trusted his men to have undergone the first one pretty clean.

As he sat in his swivel chair, Derek accepted the sheet which was on top of the brown envelope it came with. He lolled back in his seat and studied the results keenly, noting no peculiar difference from the one they took in their unit.

"Thanks, Mr Colman." Derek said, his eyes still lingering on the report for some time before he looked at Eden. "I'm sorry for having to bother you." He added.

"This is not a bother, Mr Morghan. I'm glad we could be of help. We are actually honoured to have this chance to look into a case from your side." Eden genuinely told Derek, who nodded before rising from his seat.
