The Deleted Husband by KADE VALE
English | 2026 | Mystery & Thriller
On the night I killed my husband, I learned that love is heavier than bronze.
***
I killed my husband with a bronze shoe.
But the worst part? I’m not sure I killed the right man.
It started with something tiny.
Marcus stopped snoring.
The man sleeping beside me looked exactly like my husband—same eyes, same smile, same voice.
But he was… perfect.
He cooked restaurant-quality meals without a recipe.
He remembered every date.
He folded towels into flawless squares.
He didn’t lose his keys.
He didn’t raise his voice.
And at night—he didn’t make a single sound.
The real Marcus burned toast, left his socks everywhere,
and loved me with a messy, warm honesty no one could ever imitate.
So when I finally confronted the stranger wearing his face,
I grabbed the bronze shoe… and swung.
But killing the impostor didn’t bring Marcus back.
Because the real Marcus wasn’t missing—
he was stolen.
And the people who took him?
They’re coming to make sure I never learn the truth.
Some marriages end in divorce.
Mine is about to end in war.
