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 picked up his call; Victor already had Azalea. He was going to meet with them to confirm it was really Azalea. He also needed to get the woman in better condition before Lily saw her.

He pulled on a shirt and went to where Lily was sleeping. He planted a kiss on her forehead.

Lily groaned, parting her eyes slightly. "Raven, what time is it?" She rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off sleep so she could see Raven's face.

"I got a call. I'll be heading to the hospital now. Sleep okay," he said softly, kissing her once more and tucking her in properly.

Lily moaned, "I love you. I'll call you when I wake up," she whispered.

Raven took his car key and phone before leaving the house and driving to the hospital, the place he had asked Victor to take Azalea.

"Raven," Victor waved, seeing Raven enter the hospital. He walked towards him.
