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

The last thing Derek wanted to do was to think about the things in this mansion. These vases with some few others were lined up across the corridor filled with blue and white tulips, but he ordered all of them to be taken away, not because he didn't have a taste for beauty, but because of what they reminded him of.

The maids and cleaners took the flowers away and carried some of the vases downstairs, leaving these ones to be picked up later. But right now he didn't want them to be picked again. If Rory enjoyed watching them, he couldn't mind them reminding him of his past.

As a matter of fact, he remembers nothing of his past when this girl is in front of him.

Um... okay he did remember, but thoughts of her clouds every other thing in his mind.

"Are you... mad at me?" Rory asked, pulling Derek from his train of thoughts. He stared back at her and answered after a while.
