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

After spending some time in the garden and talking mostly about flowers, Derek and Rory came back to the mansion just in time for morning tea.

"I was going to bring your tea to you at the swing." Mrs Macy smiled when she saw both enter the main hall. "You can have a seat at the table while I bring it." She quickly walked back to the kitchen before they could say a word.

Derek silently made his way to the dining table, followed closely by Rory. She wanted to go to the kitchen to help Mrs Macy with the tea but soon she appeared with a tray.

When she served Derek, Rory noticed she didn't add any sugar or cream to his tea. But Mrs Macy already knew how Rory liked her tea, so she loaded it with a lot of cream and a teaspoon of sugar.

"You like your tea raw like that?" Rory grimaced a little, looking at the tea cup in front of him and then back to his face. Derek smiled.

"Yes, I've become used to this. But it doesn't mean I don't like sugar or milk."
