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 took a step back. My breath caught in my throat, my heartbeat a panicked rhythm against my ribs. 


"Matteo... how?" I asked, my voice trembling. 


He stood there, imposing and familiar, in the middle of the bedroom Aleksandr had assigned to me, a ghost from a past I wanted to forget. My mind raced. Aleksandr had arranged this event, invited every single guest. He had controlled every inch of this night. Did that mean... he invited Matteo too? Did he know Matteo was here? 


He knew Matteo had once kept me like a captive bird in a golden cage, whispering lies about love while he clipped my wings. He knew about the day I finally thought I was free—until Aleksandr himself shattered that illusion. The car crash. My body breaking. Waking up in Moscow.
