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 cursed for the nth time that evening, recalling what happened some few hours ago. What had he done? How could he?

Running his fingers through his tousled hair, he paced in his room in frustration. Damn him! He should have just left her house when it became unbearable. Now he had done something undoable. Something that can never be undone.

How would he explain his actions? How would she see him now? Sh*t! He fvcked up!

Hayford checked the time again, losing count of how many times he had checked. It was 11:35pm. Very late in the night. But he was still wide awake. And sleep was very far from his eyes. What happened between him and Elaine earlier that evening was still fresh in his mind.

He wondered how she was feeling right now. He surely had broken her trust at these last minutes of his stay in Dotan, something he never wished to happen.
