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

A few days had passed, though time felt like a cruel joke now—stretching and shrinking in ways I couldn’t control. Matteo’s death wasn’t just a secret I carried anymore; it was everywhere, splashed across every screen, whispered in every corner. Matteo De Luca was dead. Those words repeated themselves like a mantra I couldn’t escape. 


The headlines twisted the truth, painting a picture far from reality. They said it was an illness, a sudden, tragic sickness that claimed him. But I knew better. His people wanted to bury the real story, to hide the poison, the violence, the betrayal. What really happened—the night Aleksandr fell, the plug pulled, the hours Matteo spent clinging to life by the thinnest thread—that wasn’t for the world to know. And maybe it was better that way.
