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?

After spending time with Maya and Victor, Lily finally got ready to leave with Raven. She remembered her anger towards him the moment they walked to the car. He was the reason why Maya would be leaving the city.

Raven opened the door and watched the girl enter. He didn't ask her anything, though he noticed the change in her countenance the moment they left the house.

On getting to the house, Lily stepped down from the car and walked in first, making sure her feet stomped loudly on the floor to get Raven's attention. When she entered the room, she first washed her face and had her bath, changing into her nightdress to get ready for dinner.

During dinner, Raven's attention was on his phone as he slowly ate his food without looking at Lily's direction. But he could clearly see her struggling with her plate, trying to get his attention.
