First of all, I updated the Prologue, adding there all the characters' specifications (Martha's and Master's will be added in the future). I'll repost here just Alec's, so... let me introduce you to him!

Warnings: the first part of the chapter will be about Daphne's past with Alec. As you can already tell from his description, his story is pretty sad. There's a death scene that may upset some of you, so skip it if it makes you uncomfortable.

DAPHNE'S POV
˜ FLASHBACK ˜
The first time Alec arrived at the brothel he was just 15. His father wanted to introduce him to his job, to secure his position and future. Very thoughtful of his, if it wasn't for the fact that he had just brought a little lamb in the lion's cage.
Alec was already tall for his age, but he kept growing in height until he was almost 6'0. And yet his body stayed pretty slender and delicate. It quite matched his sweet features and manners. Alec was the purest soul I've ever met in my entire, albeit short, life.
At first, he just had to take care of the few horses and carriages the Master possessed. Animals didn't quite like the Underground's environment, so Alec and his father were the only ones allowed to go on the surface to go for a ride or escort the Master somewhere.
He wasn't authorized to talk to us or even enter the brothel: us girls were off-limits. But, eventually, we found our ways to meet him. There weren't many nice and young people around the building. And as good-looking as him.
Nina and I weren't on the same page about Alec. She used to bully him all the time, calling him whiner or pussy. On the contrary, I've always known he was one of a kind. And to be honest, he was so nice that even the Master started to like him and became more indulgent with him. That's when he softened and I formally met Alec for the first time.
I remember that one of my first training with my Master's goons didn't end well for me. I had bruises and wounds all over my body and face, and I couldn't even stand up properly. I don't know what I was expecting, they had never been the kindest.
However, long story short, that day I was a literal mess and as I was trying to pull myself together, I crawled to the nearest place, looking for some water and rest: the stable.
As soon as Alec saw me, he ran towards me and started stuttering anxious and incoherent phrases. He took care of me and since that day, after each training he would have waited for me to spend some time together, talking, playing with the horses, walking around the building, or just enjoying our company, in silence.
