The Hitman’s Sunshine

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?

FLAVORS OF LOVE

[Music Recommendation: Desire ~ Leebada]

Lily dropped her phone on the table. "Victor is on his way now," she said, turning to look at Raven, who had an apron tied around his waist as he stirred the scrambled eggs with a spoon. He took a moment to savor the fluffy texture and taste, adjusting the seasoning before dishing out a hearty serving.

Raven nodded. "Now you need to eat. Here, come and sit down here," he said, pulling out a chair for Lily and going to bring a cup of juice for her.

Lily clapped excitedly. She had begged Raven to make her scrambled eggs as she craved them so much. She brought the fork close to her mouth, ready to take a large bite and savor the flavor of the food she'd been craving, but then her expression changed from anticipation to one of disgust. She retched, her body recoiling at the same time, and dropped the fork.
