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

Three years had passed. It was strange how time could sweep everything up in its current and deposit it quietly into a new shore. Peaceful. Steady. Familiar. Things I once believed were impossible had slowly become my everyday reality. 


The sun was soft that afternoon, filtering through the windows of the living room and casting golden patterns over the pale wooden floors. Carol and I had both just graduated. She had come over to celebrate, wine bottle in hand, wearing that broad smile I had grown to love over the years. 


Life seemed... back to normal. That thought lingered sweetly as I leaned back on the couch, stretching out my legs and sighing in contentment. 


The house was filled with laughter and the sound of little feet pattering across the floor. 


"Elena! Dimitri!" Carol called, half-laughing, half-worried, as the two tiny whirlwinds darted into the room.
