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?

BROKEN WILL

[Music Recommendation: Not About Angels ~ Birdy]

Victor paced back and forth in the room, his hair disheveled, evidence that his fingers had been going through it over and over again. His eyes looked disoriented and confused. He hadn't slept a wink after leaving Augustine's house last night. He was ready to use violence if he was certain Maya was in the house, but Augustine was a sly man; he wouldn't be that sloppy.

"Victor, you need to calm down," Old Bat tried to soothe him, her anxiety increasing just from looking at him.

Victor stopped walking, as if he remembered something, then started pacing again. "I don't trust Augustine. He might do something to Maya."

"I know, we all know. But we need to make a good plan first before going after Augustine. We all want to keep Maya safe, trust me," Old Bat sighed, looking at Shadow for help.

As they were talking, Raven and Lily entered the room. Lily ran towards Old Bat, hugging the woman closely.
