After my best friend was dumped for being a mistress, she entrusted her daughter to me.
But behind my back, she told everyone that the girl was my illegitimate daughter.
My husband believed the rumors. Without a word, he signed the divorce papers and left me and the girl behind to work abroad.
I swallowed my bitterness alone and raised both children.
My own daughter blamed me for meddling and making her grow up without a father.
