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

"Aleksandr, what's going on?" I asked, my voice trembling with confusion. I had never felt so lost before. My heart was thudding hard in my chest, and my eyes couldn’t pull away from the now-closed door the little girl had walked through. 


He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he watched the door in silence, his eyes dark with something unreadable. The man who always had a quick, sometimes sharp, response was now quiet. That silence was louder than any scream. 


"Vera, go and check the new decoration in your room, okay?" Aleksandr finally said, his voice softer than I had ever heard it. It was the first time I’d heard his voice like that—with gentleness.
