The feeling of the warm sun grazing against her pale skin; the uncomfortable sear leaving behind a curious tingling sensation throughout the exposed parts of her frail body. The young girl wiggled her toes in between the blades of the soft bed of gras, dirt sinking in between her toes; mucky and moist but so pillowy at the same time. She clutched the soft plush toy to her chest. For the first time, Y/N filled her lungs with fresh air and felt the peak of life thriving in the paradise of the Above—it was exciting and magical like the stories she's been told.
It marked the beginning of a new chapter in the little girl's life...one that for better and worse, altered her perspective of the world that she had known in an askewed and crude manner.
Reality was so much more complicated that she had envisioned.

The Underground was 'home' for the early years of her life. It wasn't a comfortable life but it was home, because it was where her mother, Evelyn Agler, uncle, Gideon Agler and little brother, Anthony Agler were.
Her mother and uncle raised the handful of siblings amongst what society dubbed as 'the city's stains' where the criminals lived amongst one another ruling over their community in gangs.
Y/N learnt from a young age that her mother and uncle had to cast aside their morals and humility to provide for their family of four. Her mother sold her body to put food on the table; and her uncle found himself caught up in the illegal trade market and participated in fight clubs to keep the roof above their heads.
They didn't have much but they managed.
At the very least, they were a happy family. Evelyn and Gideon made sure that the kids would have a childhood that they never had. The kids would never go hungry and they would have ample time to play and learn and grow.
Out of the two siblings, Y/N grew to be the more curious child in comparison t her brother. She would find creative and crafty ways to attain answers to anything that piqued her interests, even if it meant she'd constantly find herself on the path of trouble. The little monster feared nothing— an homage to her uncle's endless encouragement which boosted her unfiltered bravado, despite her worrying her mother half to death with her antiques.
Her curiosity shaped her to be criminally intelligent for a child at the the ripe of youth. Her mistakes—as an attribute of dumb luck and miscalculated choices,
—honed her more cunning and mischievous side.
Evelyn could see it.
Y/N had inherited many of Evelyn's better qualities and morals, but it was no mistake that the notorious Gerhard König shone through the child as well. The last thing Evelyn wanted was her daughter growing up to be a reflection of her father.

The König head lived a double life—an upcoming and respected minister in the public eye, whilst reigning as a feared syndicate chieftain under the city of riches.
He was a powerful man whose money and notoriety knew no bounds wherever he went. In both lives, he was untouchable.
It was a common sight for the mass to see the kingpin with the prettiest women whenever he was in town dealing with unspoken businesses. Evelyn was one of his favourites. She was young and beautiful and soft hearted; but she was desperate this, easily dominated and manipulated just as he liked his women.
One carelessly wild night left young Evelyn pregnant with her first child.
Because he had made her feel so special... and cared for, Evelyn saw an opportunity for a better life. The baby was her ticket out of the Underground.
