The Fine Line Between Love And Hate

Love between Players

Leticia has spent her life pretending to be someone else—her twin brother, Dexter, who died tragically at birth. Her grieving mother forced Leticia to adopt Dexter’s identity, believing that it was her male child that survived, and to keep the peace, her father went along with the lie. Leticia buried her true self to play the part of the son they lost, but now, as an adult, the weight of this deception is crushing her. Desperate for freedom and stability, she applies for a job at a high-profile company. There’s just one complication—her potential employer, Justin, is a charming but notorious playboy and the man she nearly had a one-night stand with during one of her rare moments of being herself. Horrified that he might recognize her, Leticia secures the position by stepping back into the safety of her “Dexter” persona. As "Dexter," Leticia is thrust into a precarious balancing act. Her growing bond with Justin forces her to confront feelings she can’t explore without exposing her secret. Meanwhile, Justin’s magnetic charm and his blind spot about their shared past make it nearly impossible for Leticia to stay detached. As professional lines blur, she teeters between maintaining the life built on a lie and risking it all for a chance to reclaim her identity. Will Leticia have the courage to reveal the truth—and will Justin see her for who she really is? This gripping story of love, lies, and self-discovery asks: How long can a person live a lie?

A transfer student from Australia with a charming smile, razor-sharp intellect, and zero interest in playing by legacy rules. He doesn’t know Li Wei—or the unspoken rule that she always comes first.

Rui, in turn, is fascinated by the fortress she’s built around herself—and the vulnerability she hides behind perfect posture and sharp words. As academic pressure builds and their families’ expectations collide, secrets begin to unravel, and the line between hate and longing blurs.

THE FALL LINE

Derik Halvorsen was born brilliant—and broken. Raised in silence by a violent ex-military father in rural Montana, Derik never cried, never connected, never forgot. By sixteen, he could dismantle any system, crack any server, and understand evil better than any therapist who ever tried to study him. And then one night… he made his first move. When his father dies under mysterious—but eerily clean—circumstances, the police rule it an accident. Derik disappears. No leads. No trace. Just one new ghost in the system. But Derik didn’t run. He evolved. Armed with a list of names—abusers, traffickers, corrupt prosecutors—he begins executing brutal, calculated murders that look like suicides, accidents, or divine punishment. Every kill is a message. Every detail, a signature. He doesn’t murder for revenge. He murders for balance. As federal agents begin to catch on, whispers spread in the underworld—someone is out there correcting the justice system’s mistakes. A living algorithm. A myth. A nightmare. But Derik isn’t hiding anymore. He’s building something. And the deeper he goes, the more powerful enemies take notice—some who don’t want to stop him… and others who want to use him. Because sometimes, the only thing worse than a broken system is the man who learns how to perfectly destroy it. ⸻ Themes • Morality vs justice • Systemic failure • Psychological trauma • The mind of a killer • Cold logic vs emotional chaos
