Chapter 15 - The Imposter

Clara stared at the photograph.
"Who is this?" she asked.
Ethan took the photograph and examined it.
"It looks like Veronica," he said.
"But she's dead."
"I know."
"Then who is this?"
"I don't know."
"Ethan, what if Veronica had a twin?"
"A twin?"
"Yes. What if she had a twin sister?"
"I don't know. I never heard of her having a twin."
"Ethan, we need to find out who this is."
"I'll look into it."
---
Ethan hired a private investigator.
The investigator looked into Veronica's past.
He found something surprising.
Veronica did have a twin sister.
Her name was Victoria.
---
Victoria was identical to Veronica.
The same face.
The same voice.
The same mannerisms.
She had been estranged from Veronica for years.
But now, she was back.
And she was looking for revenge.
---
Ethan found Victoria's address.
She was living in a small apartment in Brooklyn.
He went to see her.
"Victoria," he said when she opened the door.
She looked at him with cold eyes.
"Ethan," she said.
"You know who I am?"
"Of course I know who you are. You're the man who killed my sister."
"Veronica was going to kill my son."
"I don't care. You killed her."
"Victoria, she was dangerous."
"She was my sister."
"Victoria, I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't bring her back."
"Victoria, what do you want?"
"I want revenge."
"Revenge for what?"
"For everything. For taking my sister away from me."
"Victoria, she was evil."
"She was my sister."
"Victoria, you need to let this go."
"I'll never let this go."
"Victoria, please."
"I'm going to destroy everything you love."
---
Ethan tried to reason with her, but it was no use.
Victoria was determined to get revenge.
She was going to destroy his family.
And she would stop at nothing.
---
Ethan called Clara.
"We have a problem," he said.
"What kind of problem?"
"Veronica's twin sister. She's looking for revenge."
"Revenge?"
"Yes. She blames me for killing Veronica."
"Ethan, what are we going to do?"
"We're going to protect our family. That's what we're going to do."

"How?"
"We're going to find her before she finds us."
