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.

Vera giggled, snatching more Monopoly money from the bank with a greed that would’ve made any real estate mogul jealous. “You’re going bankrupt, Papa. You should just quit now.” 


I laughed, my chest lifting with a lightness I hadn’t felt in what felt like years. “Careful, Aleksandr. She’s ruthless.” 


“Oh, I know,” he said, leaning back with a quiet smile. “She learned from the best.” 


Vera puffed her chest proudly. “I did!”
