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 sat on the bed with my legs tucked beneath me, the soft, silky material of the bathrobe brushing against my skin. My face was smeared with a thick, clay-based face mask that was beginning to harden, tightening across my cheeks and forehead. The scent of lavender and mint wafted from it, soothing my frayed nerves. My hair was wrapped in a towel, damp from the hot shower I'd just taken. I picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts until I found Carol's name. 


Tapping the screen, I put the phone to my ear. It rang twice before she picked up. 


"Call me that one more time and I will never talk to you again," she snapped playfully. I laughed, the sound echoing lightly in the quiet bedroom. 


"Well, whatever. How are you anyway? And your baby daddy?"
