Sometimes, the line between love and hate is razor-thin. Alexia Marque has built her life on independence, shielding herself from a past she swore she’d never revisit. Her art is her sanctuary—a raw, emotional outlet that masks the fractures in her heart. But when Elliot Cummings, the man who shattered her trust, barrels back into her life, the carefully constructed walls she’s built start to crumble. Elliot, infuriatingly composed yet haunted by guilt, is determined to make amends, even if it means facing Alexia’s icy glares and biting words. Drawn together by circumstances neither can control, their fiery dynamic reignites old passions—and old wounds. But as secrets begin to unravel, it’s clear that Elliot’s return isn’t just about redemption. Buried beneath his polished exterior lies a truth that could either set them free or destroy them both. And when Alexia’s raw and powerful artwork catches the attention of influential figures, the stakes rise higher than either of them could have imagined. At its heart, Love or Hate is an emotionally charged tale of second chances, trust, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. With side stories that weave through the lives of equally complex characters—Myra and Edward, and Ava and Ben—this narrative explores the many shades of connection, from friendship to romance, from betrayal to forgiveness. Written in a layered, abstract style, Love or Hate invites readers to interpret the unspoken emotions that simmer beneath the surface, making each chapter a deeply personal experience. This is more than just a love story; it’s a journey into the raw, messy, and breathtakingly human fight for connection in a world of broken promises and fragile hope. Will Alexia and Elliot rewrite their story of heartbreak into one of forgiveness? Or will the damage between them prove too great to overcome?
