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

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: THE HITMAN'S SUNSHINE @ SPOTIFY]

In two days' time after Raven and Lily had recovered from their injuries, they both took time off to heal at home without visiting or entertaining visitors.

Lily, done with her exams, enjoyed her time with Lucy, learning random household chores from the robot or even going to the garden where she now took care of the flowers she had once called weeds. The Eucalyptus was planted in a flower pot, and Lily watered it every day. As it bloomed beside the buttercup, Lily's feelings for Raven grew every day.

But one thing worried Lily in these past few days; Raven's absence. She thought that after professing her feelings for him, things would skyrocket between them, but that wasn't the case. Raven was barely at home. The next day after his injury, he had left home, and when he returned, Lily was already sleeping.
