Villainy

I'm trying to write in 3 villians into my novel.  I suppose I should say novella, because its likely this story is going to be shorter than a standard novel.  I'm trying to keep my projects shorter because the attention span of people these days, myself included, is shorter.  We'll stay focused on things we care about, but trying something new, sometimes require some effort, so I'm trying to keep things shorter.  But back to the villians.  3 is a little overkill especially in a shorter project, and especially since most books, only have really 1 antagonist.  It seems realistic to me that you may have more than just one enemy in life, and so having a couple more, maybe because they're evil, and maybe because they can be bought, would seem to fit.  I'm not worried about 3 bad guys, as I am making sure I can tie up all the loose ends in thr story nicely.
