They thought they had saved Ryder-taking him away from that ruthless monster. Little did they know, that they would all die from trying to help the beast's son. It appears the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Helena had everything planned out in her perfect life until the night they came for her. They tore her away from her home and tortured her, their minds set on nothing else but breaking her in every possible way. Fate had determined these two souls needed to cross paths. However, would fate be kind enough to allow them both to live?

Esme has always done as she was done by her overbearing mother. She's never known a life other than comfort and riches, even if that life did come with some major drawbacks. Drawbacks that caused Esme to run away from the life she had always known and into the real world where she worked multiple jobs to keep herself afloat in college. But it turns out running from her past isn't as easy as she thought because three years later and she runs into HIM. Only he's a different person too. They both are. But have they both changed enough to escape the lives they were forced into? Or will they be drawn back into the world of lies?
