Chloe stood frozen, her heart pounding as the doorknob turned slowly. She had just discovered the envelope labeled "Zoe" with the photograph of two identical girls and a note warning her to run. The door creaked open, and Mrs. Squibb entered, her eyes narrowing upon seeing Chloe.
"I knew it," Mrs. Squibb hissed. "You're not Zoe. You killed her and took her place."
Chloe's breath caught. "I... I didn't.
"Save it!" Mrs. Squibb snapped. "I don't know who you are, but I will find out. And when I do, you'll regret ever stepping into this house."
With that, Mrs. Squibb turned and left, slamming the door behind her. Chloe sank onto the bed, trembling. She needed to find out who Zoe was and why she looked exactly like her.
The next morning, Chloe wandered through the mansion, hoping to find clues. As she walked down at dim hallway, her shoulder brushed against a door, causing it to swing open. Inside, she found a room filled with photographs and personal items. On the dresser lay a notepad,Zoe's diary.
Chloe picked it up and began to read. The entries detailed Zoe's life, her fears, and her suspicions about someone trying to harm her. One entry stood out:
"If anything happens to me, it's because I discovered the truth about our family. Trust no one."
Chloe's mind raced. What truth had Zoe uncovered? And why did they look so alike?
Determined to find answers, Chloe decided to delve deeper into Zoe's life. She would uncover the secrets, no matter the cost.
As she closed the diary, a sudden noise behind her made her jump. She turned to see a shadowy figure standing in the doorway.
"Looking for something?" the figure asked.
