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

After the first torture, Maya passed out while still screaming, but her whole body was shaking as a result of the pain inflicted.

"Is she dead?" Victoria asked, touching the side of her face that still had bruises from the brawl with Maya the previous night.

Edgar shook his head. "She's still breathing. What I'm worried about is the fact that she's not showing pain. What kind of girl is she?" He turned to Dylan, who was recording.

"Send the video to Raven and Victor, skip the part where she passed out," Edgar sighed. "This video would have really been great if she was at least screaming."

Dylan raised his face to look at Maya, his eyes filled with hate. "Should I wake her up?"

"Augustine said to keep her alive. Now go and send the recording. Leave." Edgar waved for his son to leave.
