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?

GENDER REVEAL

[Music Recommendation: Western Nights ~ Ethel Cain]

. . .Few hours earlier at Raven's Mansion

Azalea rushed down from the car; she almost lost her balance trying to run inside the house.

"Easy," Old Bat shouted, closing the car door before following the woman behind. She was happy to see both daughter and mother reunite again, but it would have been better if Azalea had even a little memory of her daughter.

Lily stepped out of the house, with her hands behind her waist trying to keep her balance, and her big tummy causing her to walk with her legs spread apart. She had a bright smile on her face when she saw her mother running towards her. "Mum!" Lily whispered.

It was the best picture Lily could ever think of. She imagined that her mother now remembered her and was only running to come hug her and celebrate her grandchild.

"Mum," Lily whispered again, opening her hands wide to receive her mother's hug.
