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 shifted beneath the thick comforter, my body heavy and throbbing with a dull ache that pulsed through my limbs. The moment I opened my eyes, I winced. A piercing brightness from the ceiling light stabbed at my skull, worsening the pounding headache that had taken residence there. I blinked, trying to adjust, my lids fluttering like wings against the intrusive glare. 


The pain, both physical and emotional, settled in as if it had always belonged. And then, as if the floodgates of memory had been forced open, everything rushed back. The car. The road. The impact. The deafening sound of crunching metal and shattering glass. The weightless moment of the car rolling, my body being tossed like a rag doll, and the sudden, brutal halt. The blood. The silhouette—a man, just a blur before the darkness had consumed me.
