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?

Raven held Lily's small hand in his as they strolled along the beach. These past few days, all he wanted was to give her the happiness they both deserved but had been denied. Spending time like this with her made Raven feel fulfilled and at ease. The sound of the surf and the cries of seagulls filled the air as they walked, their feet sinking into the sand.

"Do you remember the first day we came here?" Lily asked, squeezing Raven's hand gently to get his attention.

Raven nodded; it was the same day Lily got to know a little about his feelings for her. "I do remember. We were supposed to go see your father that day."

Lily smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "I would never forget that day. It was almost the happiest day of my life. I had so much fun."

Raven stopped walking, holding Lily's shoulder so she would face him. "Tell me, was that the day you started falling for me?"
