Project Helix Novels & Stories

Policy architects. “Good evening,” he began smoothly. “My name is Adrian Kessler.” No introduction. No apology. No mention of disappearance. Confidence radiated. “Eight years ago, Helix was conceived as a protection protocol.” I felt Tristan stiffen beside me. Protection. Not treatment. “Today,” Adrian continued, “I am proud to announce its global deployment initiative.” The screen behind him illuminated. HELIX: Integrated Genomic Safeguard Network. Not a drug. A network. My pulse slowed instead of quickened.

"That's what he's saying." Cilian looks at the page like it's said something personally offensive to him. "What's Helix?" "A front," I say. "When Alex wants distance between himself and a buyout, when he wants to move without his name attached to the move, he creates a new company. Helix is Alex. Alex is Helix. He's done it before." Cilian's face has gone the white and he's looking at Eddie, Jack and Derek's face as if calling them for help. He looks devasted by the news.

“Vivian Vale didn’t just work for Arden. She was his partner. Co-founder of Project Helix.” I froze. The name hit like a hammer. I hadn’t heard it in years. “Project Helix was supposed to be a cure,” she continued. “They were developing a regenerative serum—something that could rebuild tissue, rewrite DNA. The kind of thing that could make you invincible.” “Until it didn’t.” She nodded grimly. “They tested it. It worked for a few minutes. Then it killed everyone it touched.” “Except her.” “Except Vivian,” Layla confirmed. “And when Arden realized she survived, he saw it as proof. Proof that the key was in her bloodline. He wante

Chapter 22 DAHLIA “Lastly, After your divorce, you'll go on ten dates with Mr. Knights. That's all.” I stayed silent for about a minute, just staring at the file. To make sure my ears weren't deceiving me. I mean, who gives out a multi million dollar company this way. I've heard of Helixx, in fact I don't think there is a single business person in Dralwood that hasn't heard of Helixx. The company was always closing deals with the Knights. And right now, I finally found the reason as to why they could easily access business contracts with the Knights. Ronan Knight owned it, wow!

Now, Silas, Serena, and Xavier were focusing on establishing client and partner relationships. That day, they had several appointments within the office, and one of them happened to be HelixPoint, their AI service provider for Vanguard. “Our first meeting is with HelixPoint,” Silas reminded her. Serena nodded. “Glad they rehired Noelle. Seriously, what was Brian Kingsley thinking?” "He probably wasn't thinking," Silas muttered, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. But whatever it was that Serena saw, it vanished quickly. She smiled and did not think much of it. “I will just settle my things, and I’ll join you in the conference room.”

Her jaw tightened as she scanned the article, skimming through details of Helix Dynamics’ aggressive expansion plans and their latest projects—projects strikingly similar to those Athena had been developing. “He’s our rival now?” Scarlett muttered, half to herself, as she lowered the tablet. She forced herself to take a steadying breath, keeping her emotions in check. “After all these years…” Daniel nodded. “I didn’t think he’d be interested in AI-driven hardware, but it looks like Helix Dynamics has already launched products in this space. It’s going to be tough, Scarlett. He has the resources, the connections—” “—and the audacity,” she finished sharply, her eyes flashing. “But he’s not the

leaving the office to make the call. A few minutes later, she walked back into the office. "I've made the call, ma'am, and also, the president of Helix and Co. is here on an unexpected meeting. He's asking to see you." Doreen said and Alexa sighed. "Doreen, no one knows my face yet. Why would you think I'll want to meet with the other CEO'S?" She asked. "He came unexpectedly ma. And also, Helix and Co is one of the top ten model industry. In short, they are on par with Glamour Holdings. I'm sure if we give them a try, we won't lose." Doreen said and Alexa nodded slowly.

"Your daughter... her blood contains dormant markers. Old ones. From a sequence not found in standard human genomes. Project Helix." Savannah went still, the name punching through her gut like a fist. She had heard it before, in whispers, in the margins of her father's hidden files. He used to mutter about control experiments, memory networks, and biological augmentation. Always ending in: "But Helix was shut down—too dangerous. Too… unstable." Now it lived inside her daughter. ***

The partnership, the new company — everything feels like it’s finally moving forward. “That went better than expected,” Sarah says, breaking the silence. Her tone is light, almost relieved, as if she, too, was waiting for something to go wrong but pleasantly surprised when it didn’t. “Pinnacle AI. I like the sound of that.” “Yeah,” I agree, still riding the energy from the day. “Helix has real potential. Josh and Leo know what they’re doing. They’ve got the vision, and we’ve got the resources to make it happen. It’s the right move.”

“In a very short period of time.” “We try to be,” I said. We walked for a moment in silence. “I’ve been doing some research,” he said. “Into Helix Bridge’s history. Its earlier clients. Its founding structure.” He paused. “It’s an interesting company.” I kept walking at the same pace. I kept my face exactly where it was. “Most financial restructuring firms of this size have a more visible founding story,” he said. “Helix Bridge’s origins are somewhat difficult to trace.” “We value our clients’ privacy,” I said. “That tends to make firms like ours conservative about public documentation.”
