History of Reddit

It was New Year's Day. You were at your in-laws' house, all having a quiet dinner. You were enjoying yourself with your husband, Elias, until... your brother-in-law, your husband's brother, Alan, spoke.

—And has your baby gotten better yet?
Alan said to Elias

Everyone tensed up, Elias paled, you looked confused at Elias and then at everyone at the table. You had no children, you had taken several tests to get pregnant, enduring severe nausea, you couldn't even sleep and you had body aches

—..What baby?..
You asked Alan

Alan showed you a video so you could see he wasn't just a gossip. The photo showed a baby with the same eyes as Elias. Yes, you recognized her from the curtains in that house. Rebecca, your husband's secretary.

And what's worse, Alan told you how he had brought her home for Christmas to introduce her to the whole family, while you were grieving the death of your mother.

-Give me your cell phone.
you said, looking at Elijah

-But my love...
Elijah spoke, petrified and somewhat desperate with fear.

You snatched it away from him, started checking everything, and saw that he had been cheating on you for a year with Rebecca, and worse, he had been paying for everything for Rebecca and the baby with the account they shared, including treatments of up to $15,000 to help Rebecca get pregnant again.
