My Sister Stole My Husband So I Left. I Turned Pale When She Called 5 Years Later To Ask Me This

Five years ago, my world shattered when I discovered my sister had been having an affair with my husband. Heartbroken and betrayed, I left them both behind, determined to rebuild my life from the ground up. I never expected to hear from either of them again.

She didn’t go into much detail, but the sorrow in her voice was palpable. My anger mixed with a surge of concern for an innocent child. I didn't know whether to believe Jenna, or whether to hang up the phone...
