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?

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."

"I hope the boss gets here before it rains." Esther commented while preparing some marinate for the steak she would be using for lunch.

"Oh, how I love morning rains! Especially one that falls between 3am and 6am." Joshua said beside her, rubbing a lemon against the counter with his palm as he had been instructed. "That always meant a holiday back in my childhood."

Esther chuckled, shaking her head. "Lazy ass."

They had had breakfast, and Esther wanted to prepare something special for the guests, as she knew Derek would come with Rory and her mother.

"I really missed that blonde girl with those turquoise eyes of hers." She breathed with a smile, now soaking the steak in the marinate with her gloves hands before covering the glass bowl with a plastic wrap.
