Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling.

Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone.

Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

The Hitman’s Sunshine

Raven's car pulled up in front of his house, and as the gate opened, he drove inside.

Throughout the ride home, Lily had not said anything. Her mind was occupied with a lot - she wanted to know what Raven had discussed with Jeffrey and if she was going to get arrested for murder. But before all of that, the way Raven killed and hurt people without remorse was too much for her to handle.

Raven noticed how lost in thought the girl was, that she hadn't even realized they were home until he pushed his own door open.

Lily raised her face when she heard the car door open, she stepped down from the car. Her feet stayed in one place while her eyes scanned the mansion.

"Planning to run away from home again?" Raven stood at the door, watching the girl's movements.

Lily moved her eyes to settle on her master's face, before she blinked and stared at his shoe. "No, Master," she replied calmly.
