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

The weight of the moment pressed on me, and for a split second, I thought I might collapse. Matteo lay there, eyes barely open, breathing shallow and labored. His every movement was a struggle, and it took everything in me to suppress the overwhelming urge to rush to his side, to beg Aleksandr to let him go. But I couldn’t afford to show weakness—not now, not in front of him. 


I stood there for a moment, staring at Matteo as the machines continued their steady beeping, the sound filling the silence that had settled between Aleksandr and me. I felt the heat of his gaze on my back as I turned around slowly to face him. 


“So, what is it that you want from me, Aleksandr?” My voice was quieter than I’d intended, but I knew that I needed to keep my calm. I couldn’t let him see the storm inside me.
