The story
At her daughter's one-month celebration, Cassandra overhears her best friend Amelia and her husband Edward confess that they switched the babies at birth, and that the child Cassandra bore was drowned. Cassandra wipes her tear, pretends not to hear, and for twenty years raises their daughter Shelley as her own while Amelia oversteps every boundary and Edward plays the devoted husband.
When Shelley returns from studying abroad, Cassandra signs over her company shares and personal assets to her at a packed press conference. Then Amelia and Edward approach with a paternity test, declaring Shelley is theirs and it is time to return her, while Edward slides divorce papers and a debit card toward Cassandra. She smiles coldly and agrees.
Opening
"Edward," she whispered, "your idiot wife still doesn't know I switched our babies?"
"Not a chance," he chuckled. "She dotes on our daughter daily. Where's the child she actually bore?"
"Got bored after a month," she shrugged. "Drowned it. You're not angry?"
"Married her for the money," he scoffed. "Who cares?"
I wiped a tear and pretended not to hear.
For twenty years, I raised their child as my own.
