Mum and dad left me at an early age, I had to grow up under the care of my foster parents who I could say they did their best to raise me. They were the kindest beings I've ever met since my parents left but I was yet to find out who they really were.

***Why did they chose to adopt me?*** I've once asked myself but didn't think hard about it since it was possible for it to have been a coincidence too. But I thought wrong, they had ulterior motive which I realized rather too late.

I became 20 and they asked me to follow them to see a young man at a law firm, I followed as the obedient girl I was with a smile that I always had on. I signed the documents without reading since they had said it was to renew an adoption agreement.

My foster parents smiled happily at me after I signed, I felt fulfilled to have made them that happy... It had always been my wish. Just a few days before that day, I was asked what my one Wish would be if I had one and I said it was to see my foster parents happy especially because of me.

They were not able to have their own kids, I had to be a perfect daughter for them which I believed I did all my best to be for them. They didn't have much to be called rich people but they had enough to take care of their only daughter.

I was given whatever I wanted as a girl, I didn't get to feel what it was like to not have parents because they did their best to give me the life my parents would have given to me. In a conclusive way, I'll say my life with my Foster parents was real and amazing... Too good to be a fake.

I was at school preparing for my mid test when I got a call from my dad that mum fell sick and was in the hospital. I ran off to the hospital and was told that she is too sick for me to see her... Dad asked me to go stay at Grandmum's place in another city, a place I had never been before. Dad tried explaining it to me but I wasn't in the right state of mind to get all he said, he decided ask his right hand man to take me to Grandmum's place.

I followed the man in tears and a few of my things, he had asked me to sit at the front of the car and I obeyed without being observant enough... I trusted my dad and same goes with his right hand man. We kept going until we got to a lonely way and he stopped, forcefully dragged me out of the car and drove off leaving me at a nowhere.

I stood for about twenty minutes looking lost and trying to understand what had happened... It felt too real to imagine I was wrong of what was happening. I decided to walk back to where we came from with the hope of finding our home even though I didn't know the way back.

It was night already and I decided to rest at a bus stop I saw, I thought it would be safe there till the next day. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard mum's voice.. My real mum's voice.

***My baby girl, I'm sorry you have to know this way but those people who took care of you had taken all your inheritance... The main reason they had adopted you.***

I understood immediately why all that happened had happened, I assured my mum that I would get all my inheritance back no matter what. Mum left me with a smile I thought wasn't a genuine one.

I'm 60 now with my husband and children, I didn't get my inheritance from my foster parents because I had made a wrong wish to make them happy... My inheritance was the one thing to make them happy.

I am doing well now but I still think I made a wrong wish at the right time. Aside that, I'm happy with my own true family. </div>
