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?

FOOD FOR COMFORT

Maya looked down at her hand where Victor was still holding her. She followed him until they were outside the restaurant. Then he finally let her go.

"Maya..." Victor's voice was low, filled with so many emotions that he wanted to control. He raked his fingers through his hair. "Why..." he paused.

Victor was so mad at himself. He blamed himself for being so selfish to stay around Maya that he had to take her to meet investors when he was supposed to protect her.

Maya didn't say anything. She looked at her feet, rubbing her hand where Victor had been holding earlier. She didn't know why he was so angry; he was clearly the person who asked her to think first before using her fists. Earlier, she was just waiting for the man to come closer before she would hit him properly, but then Victor intervened, and she didn't know how to explain it to him.
