The Wrong Daughter

Synopsis

When I was five, I realized I wasn't my parents' biological daughter. A relative whispered the truth to me. When I asked my parents, they nodded and confirmed it. For twenty years, Camila Lane bullied me, but I never complained. My parents always favored her, but I never argued. When Camila stole my online boyfriend, I just quietly faded away. Because I was afraid that they'd send me back to the orphanage. The day our family got relocated, Camila pulled out the adoption certificate and told me I had no right to any of the compensation money. I signed the agreement to give up my share, packed my bags, and walked out of a house that was never really mine. My best friend Lily Nash studied the adoption certificate for a long time, then suddenly said, "The girl in this photo... isn't you." I was stunned. So I was the real daughter all along. Camila, the one who bullied me, was the adopted one. When I was five, my parents just nodded because they didn't want Camila to get hurt. And I carried that weight for twenty years.
