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 Hitman’s Sunshine

"Lily, breathe in and out," Maya tried to calm her down. She didn't know what had happened for Lily to talk like that.

Lily took the advice and breathed in and out. "I heard someone's voice when I pushed the door, but there was nobody here, just both of us."

Maya looked around the place to be sure it wasn't Augustine who was trying to play games with Lily's mind. "What did you hear?"

"Um... 'Welcome to Twin...no twig and Petal,'" she replied.

Maya, who hadn't heard of it before, took note of it. She was going to let Raven know about this. "Do you want to rest? Maybe we can do this later."

"No, no...I guess maybe I heard wrong. We can't postpone our shopping because of something so trivial. I'm fine," Lily smiled, happy that she wasn't tagged as someone who had lost it.

Maya nodded. "Just let me know when you don't feel like staying around here; we can always leave and there's nothing wrong with you." And Lily nodded.
