My Possessed Husband

Read

Sasha had endured years of her husband’s disdain, his cruelty fueled by her inability to bear children. Exhausted by his ab*se, she sought refuge in the attic, where, as if in a trance, she completed a painting: her husband, astride a galloping horse, struck by lightning.

“I’ll make you feel good.”

Each time he looked at her with those yearning eyes, Sasha found herself swept away, losing her grip on reality, oblivious to the shocking secret he was hiding.

“Your husband is probably dead. I’ve taken over this body.”
