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?

Lily lost the memory as to why she had even called Raven's name. Her mind was now messy, and she felt dizzy; she could pass out at any moment if care was not taken. But worst of all, she couldn't control herself with the way Raven was teasing her anymore.

"Please stop punishing me already..." she whispered, only for Raven to raise his brows innocently.

He pointed at his chest, "Punishment? Oh, that, I haven't even started." Lily blinked; then what was all of this about? If this wasn't the punishment, then what was? She cried in her head.

"I was only trying to make sure you know your offense by heart. It'll be rude to punish one without letting them hold their crime engraved in the deepest part of their hearts. That way, you won't try to do it again. Right?"
