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

After I was done eating, I just sat there staring up at the ceiling. The white plaster above me seemed to mock me in its sheer sterility. I felt trapped. My head ached, and my thoughts were muddled. The familiar buzz of the house seemed muted, almost as if the place was intentionally quiet—calm. Too calm for comfort. 


The door opened again, and I blinked at the sudden intrusion. The butler, carrying an air of efficiency, walked in, speaking in a rapid foreign tongue. I could tell from his stiff posture and the way he addressed the man behind him that this wasn't the usual servant-master relationship I was used to seeing in the movies. They were talking to each other in Russian, the words flowing easily between them as if they had been doing this for years. My inability to understand the language only made the whole experience feel even more alien.
