Yes.

It’s wrong.

But.

Sometimes, a man has to do what a man has to do.

She can’t say I wasn’t honest about my intentions. She can’t accuse me of not warning her.

In any event, this will serve to achieve the purpose of our marriage. Or that’s what I tell myself as I climb the stairs and enter the bedroom. However, I don’t look at myself in the mirror as I pull open the drawer and remove the packet of birth control pills. Even before Fabien installed the cameras, I knew where she hid them. It’s not a very clever hiding place, but my wife is young and inexperienced when it comes to deceiving seasoned criminals like me.

I hesitate for a second. There’s no coming back from this. But it’s always been this way between Sabella and me. Full sail ahead. Act first and think later. Do what needs to be done and deal with the consequences in the aftermath of the wreckage.

Fuck.

I brace my palms on the vanity and drop my head between my shoulders when I take a moment to think about how she’ll feel.

She’ll come around.

She has to.

Once it’s too late, I’ll soothe her. I’ll give her all the bling her heart desires. When there are children, she’ll be tied to me in a different way. She won’t be able to leave the country without my consent, not with a child. And she won’t leave her children behind. After seeing her dynamic with Sophie, I’m certain of it. She’ll stay, and she’ll see them on weekends. Yes. We’ll operate like a divorced couple, like I envisioned before.

All that remains is to get rid of Lavigne. It can’t hurt to remove the temptation. It doesn’t mean there won’t be others who’ll be willing to aid her. I’ll just have to eliminate them all.

Steeling my heart, I straighten. My jaw locks with determination. Before I have time to change my mind and be a better man, I pop the pills out of their casings and wash them down the drain.
