Hel was then moved to Xellene, one of the world’s most top secret research centres, where she was tortured and experimented on to create a human weapon capable for warfare for almost a decade.

He was unexpectedly asked a favour by the President himself to take care of their most dangerous experiment, Hel. He reluctantly agrees and meets her for the first time and oddly finds himself mesmerised by the charms of the so called ‘monster’. And like how he was feeling, Hel had started to anticipate meeting Liam everyday. As they grow closer, Hel hears stories of the outside world from Liam and finds herself growing more curious of what the world looked like. As her curiosity grew, her interest for the young man did as well and after months of careful planning, Hel decides to escape from but she needs help. When Liam finally decides to lend her a hand, will they escape safely and live normal lives again or will her captors find her first and send her back to her dark horrid cell?
