I work as a full time house-maid in Asia for a wealthy business family. It's a joint family of 6 members living under a single roof. My mother worked for this family for a very long time, and quit 2 years ago due to old age, so I had to take her place and resume her duties.
Last week, I was supposed to attend my cousins wedding out of state, so I took 2 days off and was packing my bags in my room when I overheard my boss talking to his affair partner. The entire family was attending a family event outside, and I was supposed to be gone by the time they returned home, but I got delayed. My boss returned home alone and early, and didn't expect anybody to be home at that time, but I was there in my room packing my bags.
He was screaming at the top of his lungs asking the woman he had an affair with to get an abortion, and promised to pay her money to buy her silence. He even threatened her with dire consequences if she doesn't listen to him and do as he says. He also asked her to move to a different state and never be seen here.
I was shocked and scared, and I had to make my presence unknown until he left the house. Once after he left, I locked up and left to the wedding.
I feel very disturbed about this whole thing. I worry about his wife and innocent kids. Everybody in the house treats me like a family member, and I even get paid very well compared to what usually maids get paid. They even pay for my health insurance, and my daughters education. I couldn't ask the family for more. I'm blessed to be working for this family, but I hate cheating. I just can't stop thinking about it.
If I inform the wife, I don't know what the consequences would be. I may be fired and the entire family would be torn apart. I want neither of that to happen.
This family has a very high reputation in the community and business circles, so I feel I should keep this secret with me, but a part of me wants to tell the wife.
Advice?
tl;dr :- I work as a full-time housemaid for a wealthy business joint family of 6, and I overheard my boss talking to his affair partner. I want to inform his wife, but I'm worried about the consequences and the family reputation.
