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?

Victor inhaled deeply. "Maya-" he tried to take a step forward when Old Bat intervened.

"Victor, you heard the doctor. She doesn't need the stress. You promised to ask just one question." Old Bat turned to look at Maya, then back at Victor. She didn't know why Maya had made such a decision, but it was her life, and she knew what was best for her.

Victor didn't want to leave; he wanted to look Maya in the face, staring deep into her eyes while she said that her child belonged to Luca. "Maya, please look at me. Can you say it to my face?"
