His Childhood Sweetheart Returned, So I Chose Vengeance

In the second year of my marriage, my husband's childhood sweetheart came back from studying abroad.

The very first night she returned, she secretly poked holes in every condom my husband and I had.

My parents' murders were still unavenged. I'd made it clear: no children.

"Ellie just finished school. She's young. She doesn't understand these things. Just take the pill," he said.

He knew full well I was allergic to oral contraceptives, yet he still said those words to protect a girl his family had taken in.

Even after taking the pill, I still got pregnant.
