Six Ways To Sunday

[MATURE CONTENT] *Slow burn* ------- 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." - - Join the #DeRa roller coaster now :) --------- Cover editing done by a colleague author :)

Derek continued drumming his fingers on the desk without looking at Luke. His lips were pursed and his gaze was intense. Then he stood up abruptly and turned to the door.

"Lets go back to the mansion." He simply said and left.

Luke got up quickly and followed limping slightly as he went. He thought he would be put behind bars right from here until he heard Derek telling the officer to grant him bail till the first court hearing. He had expected the worse, so this came as both a surprise and relief.

He knew Derek would still ask him questions. And he would answer all of it. It as not surprising to him that Derek did not trust him. I mean, who would trust the ally of an enemy?

He followed Derek to the car and sat at the back seat. Jeremiah was already at the driver's side waiting for Derek to get in. He was having a word with the chief inspector of the station on matters concerning the criminal in their custody.
