Description
In Dubai's dazzling tech world, appearances can be deceiving. Layla, a quiet IT prodigy of mixed Chinese-Filipino heritage, blends into office life, unassuming and nerdy. But by night, she transforms into Cipher, a legendary gamer and hacker whose brilliance leaves rivals reeling-though no one knows her true identity. Zain, the charismatic CEO, hides his own gaming alias, Helix, and clashes with Cipher in high-stakes tournaments, unaware that his unassuming employee is his fiercest rival. Then there's Specter, a shadowy genius whose cunning challenges them both, pushing digital rivalry into real-world danger. When fate forces the three to team up, tension, attraction, and secrets collide. Layla must protect her company, navigate a growing connection with Zain, and face Specter-without revealing herself too soon. Behind the Code is a thrilling story of secrecy, genius, and unexpected alliances, where the sharpest minds win-and appearances deceive.
