Adopted Daughter Says

Synopsis

I was adopted by the richest man in the country. When I was five, his own daughter went missing. He spent an entire year searching for her, burning through every resource he had, but still couldn't find her. His wife was crushed. She cried every day and wasted away, missing their daughter. To distract her, they decided to adopt a child from an orphanage. Life in the orphanage was rough. We were always short on food and clothes. The kids even had to do endless heavy chores. Whenever a couple came in to pick a child, all of us would tense up, feeling nervous, hopeful, terrified. Because for us, that was the one and only chance to change our life. So even without the orphanage director or the caretakers reminding us, we all knew exactly how to behave, to look lovable enough for someone to want us. This time, every single one of us had prepared for it.
