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 looked at myself in the mirror and moved side to side. The dress that Aleksandr had chosen clung to me like a second skin, every shimmer of its deep red sequins catching the light with an almost mocking brilliance. I sighed, feeling a pang of anxiety rise in my chest. The dress had a high slit that climbed daringly up my thigh, a deep V-neck that left little to the imagination, and thin straps that crisscrossed over my back. It was elegant, yes, but also bold—too bold for someone like me. My hair was styled in loose curls that framed my face, and my makeup was tastefully done: not too loud, not too muted. The goal was to look effortlessly perfect, and somehow, Aleksandr's people had made it so.
