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?

[Music Recommendation: Teddy Bear ~ Melanie Martinez

"INMATE 2140," a young female guard called with a strong voice, hitting her bat on the prison door.

Victoria crawled out from where she was fanning an older woman inside the prison. Her face was already covered with bruises, which she had sustained on the first day she arrived. The older inmates asked about her crimes, and when she told them, they joined hands and beat her until she almost passed out, eventually breaking her leg with an iron bar.

The prison guards had rescued her immediately, and she was taken to the infirmary but was brought back not long after. She wasn't assigned to another prison but remained in the same place where they continued to bully her every day.

"Who said you could move?" the older woman she was fanning asked with a mean look on her face.

Victoria scurried back to her position, picking up the paper she was using to fan the woman. "I'm sorry," she bowed.
