Avery thought that she was dreaming, as she struggled to understand what Mike has just said,
She was sitting at home so what could possibly happen to her?
Mike did not get any response from her and asked, “Avery, when you went to Caesar Hotel back then,
did you meet with a man for ‘that’ kind of thing?”
“What kind of thing?”
“It’s that… kind of thing…” Mike couldn’t bring himself to be too direct, but she soon realized what he
was referring to from the way he was stuttering.
“What makes you say that?” She walked towards her room with the phone in her hand.
“Mike, what exactly happened?”
“I’ll send you a video. Check and see if that’s you in it.” Worried that she might get upset after watching
it, he hastily added, “I know that you are not the woman in the video, but the resemblance is just too
uncanny…”
At this point, Avery could roughly guess what had happened. She hung up and opened the video Mike
sent her after taking a deep breath.
The voice of the woman in the video was the first thing she heard and the familiar sound made her hair
stand,
‘‘How can this be? What does this woman sound exactly like me?’’ She thought.
Suddenly, she was reminded of what Zoe said before she committed suicide. She said that after her
eyes were gouged out, she heard Avery’s voice. Perhaps it was not a hallucination, but the truth.
Everyone had thought that Zoe went mad, but she didn’t; the one that was insane was the person who
had been plotting in the dark to defeat Avery.
She studied the woman in the video and soon realized that not only did they have similar voices, but
faces as well.
She instantly thought of Nora and the possibility of it being her, but when Avery looked down and saw
the pregnant belly of the woman in the video, she saw stars.
‘’How can this be? Can it be that it’s really me in that video?’’ She thought.
However, she had not noticed any sign of being raped that night in Caesar Hotel; apart from feeling
dizzy, she did not suffer from any other discomfort.
The woman in the video had her eyes open and was moaning loudly, which proved that the woman
was awake at the time.It couldn’t be Avery, as she was put to sleep and was incapable of doing
anything at all.
But if that’s the case, what other explanation could there be for the video of a woman that looked and
sounded like her, while being pregnant at the same time as her?
Her phone rang and pulled her back from her thoughts.
She answered the call and heard Mike’s voice, “Avery, have you watched the video? Doesn’t she look
like you?”
“That’s not me,” her voice was cold and trembling, “someone is imitating me!”
“I thought so!” Mike said furiously, “that guy in the video is almost as fat as a pig. You couldn’t possibly
take an interest in a guy like that!”
“Mike, can you find the person who posted the video?”
“I tried and found that the video first appeared on an oversea pornography website, but the user who
uploaded it had already cancelled their account.”
“Is it speculating in Aryadelle already?” Avery lowered her gaze and took a deep breath in despair.
Even Avery herself had thought that she was the woman in the video, so it’s only natural that the others
believe the same thing. She didn’t care if she was misunderstood by the others, but what about Elliot?
