A relative of mine discovered that his wife was having an affair with her boss.
She was pregnant, and she'd convinced my relative that the baby was his.
When he found out, he confronted the boss.
Instead of apologizing, the boss offered him money to stay quiet and continue raising the child as his own.
Apparently, he didn't want his marriage or career ruined.
My relative refused the money.
Now the boss is threatening to get him fired from his job.
It's genuinely one of the messiest situations I've ever heard about.
