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 :)

Dotan...

It was a hot and sunny afternoon. Hayford had just closed from teaching school and was heading back home. He was walking rather lazily as he made his way home.

Things were beginning to get boring and boring with the mission. There had been no lead so far and right now they were trying to see if they would relocate or stop the mission entirely. It was a little confusing that they had been on the mission for almost a month and there had been nothing useful found.

Honestly he had already started having doubts as to whether someone was manipulating their plans just as Fernando used to. And he had already started his own underground investigations looking into that.

He got to his compound and stepped into the small veranda in front of his room. Fiddling a little with the lock, he opened his door and stepped in the room.
