Crossing the Line: A high-stakes game between grown men and women, caught between desire and genuine affection
What if the cool, aloof boy you once glimpsed in the library during high school became Mr. Xie ten years later: your business partner, untouchable and ruthless?
What if the two of you made a secret pact amid the alcohol and the night: no going public, no promises, no staying over, no talk of the future? You thought it was just the easy companionship that adults silently understand.
Then he tore up the pact himself. His restrained protectiveness turned into possessiveness he could no longer control. Anonymous gifts, late-night rides, and public shows of support began to erode the boundaries you had drawn, one step at a time.
Can you still guard your heart?
