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 sun was slowly hiding behind the grey clouds, making room for the nighttime. Lily sat on her bed, realizing she had missed her chance to take Maya's contact, which would have given her someone to talk to. Her mind drifted to the conversation she had with Raven during the meeting.

"He must have loved his wife so much," she muttered. Seeing that it was getting dark, Lily decided to take her bath and maybe retire for the night. She walked into her bathroom, settling inside her bathtub but before she could start bathing proper, the ceiling, which was leaking drops of water, made a bursting sound and water poured everywhere.
