After losing my wife Kate, I found solace in calling her old number just to hear her voice on the answering machine. One day, amidst my grief, I heard her say, “What are you doing? No!” before the call abruptly ended. Convinced it was her, I began investigating.
Sitting in “Paprika,” a café filled with memories of Kate, I felt her absence keenly. Carmen, a relative of Kate’s, approached me, unaware of her passing. She shared that she’d been calling Kate’s old number at their family country house, where only the answering machine remained. Curious, I dialed the number again, hoping for more than just a message.
To my surprise, someone answered—a voice I knew so well. “What are you doing? NO!” Kate’s voice exclaimed, then silence. Confused and hopeful, I sought comfort from Amanda, Kate’s twin, and her husband Kyle. But strange occurrences linked to Kate’s voice led me to investigate further.
Visiting the deserted country house where the answering machine resided, I found signs someone had been there recently. Amanda and Kyle’s sudden departure and revelations of an affair with Amanda compounded my suspicions. Ultimately, confronting Kate, disguised as Amanda, at a bank exposed a sinister plot. Kate, along with Kyle, had orchestrated Amanda’s death and framed me.
Detective Johnson’s intervention unveiled the truth, leading to their arrest. Though grappling with guilt and betrayal, I vowed to confront this new reality, forever changed by Kate’s deceit and the depths of human deception.
