‎Cynthia had been living peacefully with her auntie since her father ran away, and her mother left her with her auntie to travel far away to find work. Until when she was mistaken with a daughter of a wealthy man. Cynthia's only hope is that she will become a great person someday.

‎
‎After Cynthia finished secondary school, her auntie helped her through that process. Because there was no money for further education, Cynthia decided to stay with her auntie at the shop where they sold provisions. Cynthia always told her auntie, 'One day I will make it, surely, surely, and I will become a great person.' Her auntie would smile and say, 'If you make it, don't forget me. Make sure you include me in the process.'
‎
‎There was a man called Chief Ebuka. He was very wealthy. Before he died, he wrote a will and gave it to a lawyer. Chief Ebuka was very sick and did not tell his wife about his daughter from his earlier life. He hid it from her and couldn't tell her. When he was writing his will, he mentioned his daughter Cynthia and the part she would have in the will.
‎
‎Chief Ebuka directed the lawyer to find his daughter before reading the will. When the lawyer searched for Chief Ebuka's daughter at the address he was given, he searched for a few days before finally finding Cynthia. After the lawyer explained, Cynthia was reluctant to accept, but hearing that Chief Ebuka was very wealthy, she decided to follow the lawyer to the house. She called her auntie, who then called Cynthia's mother, but her number wasn't connecting. So she decided to follow Cynthia.
‎
‎When they reached the house, Chief Ebuka's wife was very angry and sad. She couldn't believe it. She asked the lawyer to get a DNA test. Cynthia was amazed by Chief Ebuka's big house and told the lawyer there was no need for any DNA test; she forgave her father and just wanted the will read.
‎
‎Chief Ebuka's wife insisted on the DNA test. Before the results, Cynthia and her auntie were happily playing around the house. After some months, when the DNA test results were ready, the lawyer called everyone in the family. Cynthia was the one who was over that and could show her portion of what she would have divided out before they started. The will: they had to do the DNA test first. The DNA test: Chief Ebuka said Cynthia was not the real child of Chief Ebuka.
‎
‎Cynthia was shocked and very sad. 'Why are you all wasting my time here? With all the time we have wasted? You want to tell me that I'm not the child of my father?' Cynthia was thinking about all the enjoyment she had been having for those past months, and now she's going back to her normal home.
‎
‎Cynthia's mother had been trying to contact her sister for some time but lost her phone. After getting a new one, she finally recovered her sister's number and called to check on Cynthia. When they were still talking, her sister explained that Cynthia had been mistaken for Chief Ebuka's daughter and that a DNA test had revealed the truth.
‎
‎Cynthia's mother said it was definitely a mistake because Cynthia's father was still alive.
‎
‎The real daughter of Chief Ebuka was living in the same area as Cynthia, with the same name. That was the mistake. Though they were not close, it was the name that misunderstood everything. Because of that, the family of Chief Ebuka and the lawyer pleaded with Cynthia and her auntie.
‎
‎After Cynthia and her auntie returned home the next morning, Chief Ebuka's wife decided to surprise Cynthia and her auntie by improving her business. She gave them a large sum of money to help them and to enable Cynthia to continue her education.
