On her 18th birthday, Emma’s world shatters when a stranger knocks on her door, claiming to be her real mother. Desperate for answers, she leaves everything behind… only to uncover a chilling truth. Was she stolen… or abandoned?
And now that she holds the key to a fortune, who really wants her, and who just wants what she has? Growing up, I always knew I was adopted. My parents never hid it from me.
It was just a fact, like my love for vanilla ice cream, brushing horses, or how I always needed a nightlight until I was twelve. They told me I was chosen. That they had waited for years, hoping for a child, and when they found me, they loved me instantly.
And, of course, I believed them. I had a good life. A warm home.
Parents who never missed a soccer game, never forgot my birthday, never made me feel like anything less than their daughter. They packed my school lunches, helped me with homework, and held me when I cried over my first heartbreak. And my mom and I used to cook dinner together every single day.
It didn’t matter whether I was prepping for exams or whether I had a project. It was… home. I was home.
I never once questioned where I came from. But in the weeks leading up to my 18th birthday, something strange started happening. It started with emails.
The first one came from an address I didn’t recognize. Happy early birthday, Emma. I’ve been thinking about you.
I’d love to talk. No name. No context.
So, I ignored it. Then came the Facebook friend request from a profile with no picture. The name was Sarah W.
