Sophia never imagined her life would spiral into a waking nightmare. What began as strange phone calls and shadowy figures watching from the distance quickly turned into something far worse—being abducted by Matteo DeLuca, a man whose obsession ran deeper than love. Under his control, Sophia suffered in silence, enduring pain and humiliation she dares not speak of. When he finally lets her go, it isn’t freedom that greets her—but another captor.

Aleksandr Volkov, powerful, cold, and emotionally damaged, sees in Sophia a mirror of the woman he lost. Desperate to keep his daughter believing her mother is alive, he forces Sophia to take on her identity. Through manipulation, subtle control, and emotional coercion, Aleksandr begins to unravel Sophia’s reality—softening her resistance and luring her into the illusion of a perfect family.

Now, with her will slowly crumbling, Matteo must do the unthinkable: save the very woman he once destroyed. But is it redemption he’s after—or revenge? As dark secrets unravel and twisted games are played, Sophia must face a brutal truth: sometimes the greatest threats are the ones that wear a familiar face.

HUNTED BY DESIRE

The clock hit 2:00 a.m., and the house was drenched in silence. The moonlight streamed faintly through the gaps in the curtains, painting silver streaks across the floor. Matteo lay beside me, face buried in the pillow, his body stretched out on his stomach. His deep, even breathing filled the room. For the first time in days, his face looked peaceful—like he wasn't the monster who held me captive, who hurt me with sweet words and deadly hands. 


But I couldn't afford to think of that now. I had a plan. A desperate, risky plan. One I wasn't even sure I had the guts to follow through with. But if I didn't, I would rot in this cage forever. So, I slipped off the bed, every muscle tensed, every movement calculated and silent.
