In Lexingport City.
When Paula opened her eyes, it was dark. The air around her was cold, making her shiver.
Where was this?
There was a cold and hard ground on her back, which told her that this was not a hotel. She could only vaguely remember that in front of the washing table, Leon stood behind her and looked at her gently through the mirror.
Then... She couldn't remember anything.
She was only wearing a thin silk pajama. She was so cold that she stood up shivering and rubbed her arms to warm herself.
When she took a step forward, she heard the sound of footsteps in the darkness, followed by the constant flow of heat from around, and her body gradually warmed up.
However, the surroundings were still dark, and she could see nothing. Fear of being devoured by the darkness arose in her heart naturally.
"Hello, is there anyone here?"
Paula shouted loudly. There was only silence in the room, and her breath became thicker because of fear.
She swallowed.
As the temperature rose, there was a slight itch on her face. She raised her hand to touch it, and then she cried out with pain.
The light was on.
Suddenly, the light was dazzling. Feeling uncomfortable, Paula raised her hand to cover her eyes and slowly moved them away.
In front of her was a mirror, which reflected her thin appearance and the dense wounds on her face. The wounds were thin and long with red blood stains, like a thin blade accidentally scratched her skin.
"Ah!" ... ... Seeing her disfigured face, Paula was frightened and shouted. She turned her head in panic and there was another mirror in front of her.
In the mirror, her face was ghostly pale with fear.
No girl could bear the disfiguration of their faces. Paula turned to the other side, but there was still a mirror.
She was stunned. She moved her eyes slowly and found that there were mirrors around her, like soldiers surrounding her.
She looked ugly, frightened in the mirror as she shuddered, but she didn't know why she was here and why her face was disfigured.
The fact that she knew nothing made her even more frightened. She always felt that someone was spying on her, just like she had been spying on Michelle's life during that period, and then imitating the expressions and movements of Michelle.
Paula's scalp tingled.
The next second, someone suddenly appeared in one of the mirrors. It was no longer her trembling appearance, but a smiling man.
He wore a creamy white high necked sweater and a black overcoat. With his slender legs crossed, he sat leisurely on the chair.
He looked like a nice gentleman, with a smile in his gentle eyes.
However, Paula felt that there was endless coldness from the man in the mirror. The man stared at her, like a god of death coming from hell in man's clothing.
The man was none other than Leon.
"Paula."
A soft voice sounded. His voice was very gentle, but when Paula looked into his smiling eyes, her heart jolted. Her trembling legs instantly became weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Leon had just called her name.
It seemed that Leon had known who she was and knew that she was pretending to be Michelle.
Her face... Her face must be disfigured by Leon.
Her white and tender hands touched her cheeks, and there was another sting. When she just woke up, the temperature was low, so she did not feel the pain. As the temperature rose, the sting on her face became more and more severe.
"Paula, you shouldn't have made your face look like my wife's, nor should you imitate her..." Leon's voice came slowly, as if killing people with a blunt knife, which seemed to be an endless torture.
"I... I..." Paula stammered with fear.
