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 went to bed that night feeling giddy. She was going to fly in that cool jet again! It was the longest night ever. She just wished she could skip to the fun part like right now.

After much tossing and turning, she managed to ctached some sleep and the next minute, it was morning. She couldn't be happier.

They had a quick breakfast, which Derek skipped because he was busy on phone and was upstairs till they finished. When he got down, he was already dressed and ready for the journey.

The workers helped in packing their luggage in the trunk of the SUV they would be going with, and soon, Zeth drove them to the arena where the jet was parked the other time. Rory didn't tell her mother just so she would get her reaction when she found out they would be flying again.

When they got there, reality dawned on Charlotte and she gasped. Turning sharply to Rory, she beamed.
