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.

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

Derek had began to get fond of Rory. He just liked to be in her company and now he was beginning to get obsessed with her flustered face.

He couldn't get over how she stares at him when she is surprised, and how she easily become flustered with the least provocation. He didn't know he would be having such fun with these simple and silly things.

As they ambled slowly towards the backyard into the garden in silence, he so turned to look at her on his side. She was looking down at her feet as she walked. He was sure it was because they were walking together and he could tell she was a little shy.

There was a pavilion and a white swing with a floral canopy at the backyard. Derek had not had the chance to enjoy these sides of the grand mansion because of obvious reasons. But now, with Rory by his side and him knowing she loved flowers, he took her to the swing which was in the midst of the flowers.
