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

I let out a satisfactory sigh, the great Matteo had finally hit rock bottom. He was a broken little boy that just lost his balloon. Everything he had built around himself—the power, the control, the cold-heartedness—crumbled the moment he realized he lost something he never thought he wanted: a child. 


And me? I wasn’t sad. Not anymore. The little flicker of sadness that had crept into my heart earlier was gone, replaced by a sense of overwhelming peace and control. For the first time since I had been dragged into this nightmare, I had the upper hand. 


"Do you need anything else, madame?" the maid asked gently. She was assigned to take care of me during my so-called mourning period. The irony made me want to laugh.
