World Setting
Based on modern world and today's settings. Slightly changed history to fit the story (maybe) and no mention of actual countries.
Even though the first chapter is in the past from chapter 2 onward we settle on present timeline and any mention of the past is gonna be through flashbacks.
The MC (Skylar) was sold into slavery by her stepmother at the age of 8, where she was picked up be an underworld organization specializing in training assassins. There they discovered her talent for chemistry. At 11 she created a chemical formula, named Lethal Fragrance, where one drop of that liquid can destroy a corpse (not living humans) and leave no evidence behind. After catching the attention of the government of A country and making a deal with them, she was finally free.
The ML (Jaxton) was left at an orphanage at the age of 5, with no memories and not even knowing his name. Growing up he got into a lot of trouble, ending up with him as part of the underworld. Leading to the present where at only 28 he is the secret King of the Underworld while leading a billion dollar company.
The first arc is based on meeting and getting to know the characters. We see the MC entering the show biz, building her own company and clashing with the ML. While the main arcs of the story are based on Mc and ML, there will be several sub-arcs about the group of soldiers that saved Skylar back then, which are now her brothers, her 2 best friends ( a female and a male) and the ML's best friend who is posing as King of the Underworld.
