The Impostor Wearing My Husband's Body Chapter 7
And just like that, it all came flooding back.November 22 was my birthday. I had walked past a deli and really craved some tortellini. After hesitating for a long time, I spent five dollars on a small scrap of pork and a sprig of basil.I wanted to make myself a bowl of tortellini.That day, Ted had been chewed out by his boss. On top of that, a colleague of his was talking about taking his whole family to Liaston for a vacation. The constant praise from the others made him even angrier.My tiny bit of pork became the outlet for his rage.He grabbed the baseball bat, beating me with it while screaming at me. I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away. But I was already so badly beaten that I could barely even get up.When Ted got tired and stopped for a while, I instinctively dialed Roxie's number.I had moved away from my hometown after I got married, so Roxie was the only family I had nearby. The moment she received my call, she rushed over right away.When she arrive

Roxie pulled me toward the door. We were just about to step out, but the more I thought about it, the more something felt off.That was when I noticed that she didn't have a shadow.I yanked my hand out of her grip."Why… Why won't I be needing them anymore? And why don't you have a shadow?"Seeing that I'd caught on, her eyes welled up with tears. "Oh, Piper. It's not that I don't have a shadow. It's that you can't see it."Don't you get it yet? You're dead. I don't want your soul to be trapped in this house, tied to Ted, so I came to take you away."On November 22, Ted was beating you again. You couldn't take it anymore and called me. I came over to help you escape, but he caught us. He was so mad that he swung a baseball bat at you. You fell, and your head happened to hit the corner of the shoe cabinet. You stopped breathing right then."When Ted realized that, he panicked. He dragged me to the bed, tied me up, and hit me across the head with the bat as well. Then he ran. "

I managed to force the entire bowl of tortellini down. But the moment Ted went to wash the dishes, I took the chance to run to the bathroom, hug the toilet, and throw everything up.Even after emptying everything in my stomach, that feeling of something stuck in my throat still wouldn't go away.I turned on the faucet and kept rinsing my mouth while staring at the mirror. The woman looking back was deathly pale—bloodless almost—with sallow skin and straw-like hair matted together.Compared to Ted, I looked more like the ghost.After washing my face, I came out of the bathroom. The clinking of bowls and forks still echoed from the kitchen.I stood in the doorway, staring at his back, unable to fathom what Ted was trying to achieve by doing all this.Previously, he'd never done housework before. Every day after waking up, I'd put on the kettle, make breakfast, pack lunch, go to work, make dinner, do the chores, and wash the dishes. I'd be busy until 9:00 or 10:00 pm. And if he wasn

"Roxie? Your cousin?" Ted asked.He rolled his shoulder while holding the kitchen knife, his joints making faint cracking sounds as he did so.Seeing my deathly pale face, he looked at me in confusion."Didn't your cousin go missing? Don't you remember, babe? The police searched everywhere around your aunt's house. You even went to comfort your aunt."It happened right before Thanksgiving. It even made the news. A lot of people suspected she was dismembered and hidden somewhere.""Huh?"My face was even paler now.Ted leaned closer and touched my forehead with his free hand, his eyes full of concern."Babe, you've been acting strange lately. What's going on?"A chill crept up from my feet, and my back became drenched in cold sweat."Earlier… Earlier, when you came in, she was right next to me. Didn't you see her? She said she wanted to take me out. Didn't you ask me what I was doing at the time?"He frowned."When I came back, you were standing there talking to yourself and

Now that I knew he was possessed by a ghost, things were easier to handle.My aunt was a famous shaman, and her daughter—my cousin Roxie Dunill—had inherited her skills and was now quite well-known in her own right.I gave Roxie a call and asked her to bring her tools to my house to catch the ghost.When she heard what I had to say, she sounded genuinely alarmed. She lived nearby, so in just a little over 20 minutes, she was already standing at my door.I poured her a glass of water and invited her to take a seat on the couch. But she refused. Instead, she grabbed my hand tightly."Piper, I need to tell you something, but you need to prepare yourself."Her hands were trembling, and her face was frighteningly pale."Ted Towery has been dead for over a month. He fell off a cliff. When they found him, his organs had been shredded by branches! You've been bewitched by a ghost, and that's why you forgot about it!"He came back to take you with him! While he's not back yet, we need t

I couldn't help but think that Ted was probably possessed.My mother had once told me a story about a ghost taking over someone's body.In the countryside a few decades ago, there was a man named Shane Thorsen. He was lazy, greedy, and loved beating his wife.In those days, everyone's sole desire was to work hard so their families had enough to eat. But Shane was the exception.When he was assigned to take care of the sheep, he stole some young lambs and secretly roasted them with his good-for-nothing buddies. When the village council asked him to weed the fields, he yanked both the weeds and the seedlings. And when questioned afterward, he refused to admit anything.Over time, no one wanted to assign him any work, so he ended up living off his wife, Stacey Wilson.Every day, he wandered aimlessly around the village, occasionally drinking some cheap homemade liquor he got from somewhere. And when he got drunk, he'd go home and beat his wife.Stacey worked herself to the bone to
