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

Rory's heart almost left her body at what happened. Her whole body was stiff and her hands were by her side as Derek's big arms went around her. This whole scenario was even making it difficult for her to breathe.

Wait... Rory wake up. This must be a dream!

"I missed you, Sunshine..." Derek's hot breath fanned and caressed Rory's neck where his head rested. And like a spell, his rich, soothing voice struck her from her daze and melted her at the same time, causing her stiff muscles to relax completely.

Slowly, she raised her small arms and hugged him back. She couldn't bring herself to tighten her arms around him because she still couldn't believe they were in this compromising position.

Derek's arms tightening around Rory jolted her back to her senses. She felt him nuzzling her hair and taking a whiff. Her eyes fluttered as her belly did a funny turn. The butterflies in there must be looking for an escape.

160. It all started...
