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 by the wide, arching window of the massive bedroom, watching the estate beyond. The sky above Moscow was draped in thick, silver clouds, casting a cold, pale light across the manicured garden that sprawled outside. It was beautiful in a haunting way—a place carved out of perfection, yet sterile in its silence. The garden looked more like a painting than something real, with its perfectly trimmed hedges and tall cypress trees lining the curved stone paths. It was so vast, I couldn’t even see the edge of the estate. For all I knew, this mansion could be the only structure for miles. 


Below, I could see the staff at work—maids in pristine uniforms moved with practiced grace, and gardeners, dressed in dark coats and gloves, pruned and shaped the hedges like it was sacred work. Everything here had an eerie harmony, like a symphony playing just for him. 


Just then, the heavy door creaked open. I turned, already knowing who it was. Aleksandr.
