Megan’s stepsister Kira had always been jealous, but Megan thought they’d grown past childhood rivalry. That illusion shattered at Megan’s engagement party when Kira, upset that Megan’s champagne dress drew attention, shoved her into the pool in front of all the guests and claimed it was an “accident.”
Instead of hiding in embarrassment, Megan grabbed the microphone and calmly announced a new rule: whoever pushed her into the pool had to jump in next. All eyes turned to Kira, who refused — then instantly slipped on the wet patio and fell into the pool herself, humiliating herself in front of everyone.
The guests laughed at the irony, and Megan simply said, “Looks like the rule worked out on its own,” before returning to enjoy her night. Colin, her fiancé, called her response “badass,” and the party carried on.
Megan realized she was done shrinking herself to soothe someone else’s insecurities. Kira could keep her jealousy — Megan had her happiness, her partner, and the perfect dose of instant karma.
