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 next morning was bright and new. Lily sat up on the bed, looking outside the window. Her face didn't look bright at all. She could clearly remember Raven's hand on her body, but that was it. He didn't do more than that? Why? The question echoed in Lily's head as she walked inside the bathroom to have her bath.

Walking to her closet, Lily selected the jeans she would be wearing, but then remembered Raven's choice in clothes, and quickly took out a gown and covered her face with it. Done with dressing, Lily joined Raven at the table, trying to take her steps slowly to show Raven she could notice her choice of cloth.

"Good morning, Master Raven," Lily greeted on getting to the table.

Raven gave her a small smile. "You don't look so bright. Was your night not okay?" he asked.
