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?

"Maya, remember you don't know Raven, and you're just a trainee for this project. Don't forget," Old Bat reminded Maya as she packed her bag, getting ready to move to the building that was made ready for everyone involved in the project.

Maya paused what she was doing. "I promise, I will act right and won't mess things up. But can I get a room beside Lily? We can turn it into a girls' outing. I've missed Lily so much!"

Old Bat rolled her eyes. "No, you can't. Maya, are you sure you can do this?"

"Yes, I can. Fine, I won't ask for a room close to Lily. What about Victor? Why isn't he getting similar orientation?" Maya said, giving Victor a pointed look.

"Because he doesn't need it. You've been the one getting into trouble these past few days," the older woman remarked with a sigh.

SO IT BEGINS...
