I Gave My Sister-In-Law A Pregnancy Book, Unknowingly Exposing Her Affair With My Husband's Friend. Now The Family's In Chaos.
--------
The story revolves around a woman who, while trying to get back at her sister-in-law, Cheryl, for her past mean behavior, unknowingly exposes Cheryl's affair. Cheryl has always disliked the narrator, stemming from their high school days, and their relationship remained strained even after the narrator married Cheryl's brother, Charlie. After a particularly rude incident at the narrator's birthday party, where Cheryl made disparaging comments about her cooking, the narrator decided to prank Cheryl at her birthday party by giving her a pregnancy book as a gift.

Unbeknownst to the narrator, Cheryl had recently confided in Charlie about her unplanned pregnancy, which she was hiding from her husband. The pregnancy book, which the narrator thought would be a harmless prank, instead blew up Cheryl's secret, leading to chaos. Cheryl's husband, who is sterile, realized that the baby couldn't be his, confirming his suspicions of her infidelity.

After Cheryl's husband kicked her out, the narrator's in-laws blamed her for the chaos and demanded that she apologize to Cheryl's husband to try to save the marriage. However, the narrator refused, believing that Cheryl’s infidelity was the real issue, not the prank. Over time, it was revealed that Cheryl had been having an affair with one of Charlie's close friends.

Despite the pressure from family, the narrator and Charlie decided to cut ties with Cheryl, the in-laws, and Charlie’s friend. Cheryl's marriage eventually ended in divorce, and the narrator remained unapologetic, feeling that Cheryl deserved what happened due to her dishonesty and cruel behavior. The situation strained family relationships, but the narrator and Charlie stood firm, prioritizing their own happiness over family approval.
