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?

LOVE THAT HEALS

[Music Recommendation: Tattoo ~ Loreen]

When Lily reached the mansion, the sky had already turned gray. The whole day had looked very dull after Shadow's funeral as there was no sunshine throughout. It was now nighttime. She entered her room, took a shower, and then sat in front of her vanity mirror.

Her green eyes looked at her reflection as if she were deep in thought. Her mind wasn't focused on anything in particular, but she knew she had something she wanted to remember. Something was wrong somewhere. She walked to her bag and picked up the last diary her mother had left behind.

She went through everything that was written until she reached the last pages that were ripped off. Lily wanted to have that connection with her mother, even if it was just her ashes or her headstone, but Augustine had refused to show her any of that. Even when he was cornered, he found a way to avoid it.
