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 took a quick glance at the footage and went back to typing.

There was a glitch, where they saw someone in mask and an overall working gear. He even had goggles on, so it was hard to tell who he was.

The camera that had captured him was a bit far from the washroom. It was the one overlooking the volleyball court on the east wing of the campus. So even when they zoomed in, they could still not make out who it was.

He had a black long bag swung over his shoulder. It looked heavy. And he was walking in a fast pace. Jogging rather, till he could no longer be seen on the screen. They guessed that was how far the camera could capture him.

"Boss..." Joshua found his tongue after the longest time. "I think I recognise this place. He was heading to the parking lot. The area I have secured."
