Second Chance

I picked up a stray teddy dog and from that moment, a streak of good luck began.

Not only did I sign the company’s biggest contract, but I was also promoted and given a substantial raise.

As if that wasn’t enough, a wealthy aristocratic woman chose me to be her daughter–in–law.

She sent a car to pick me up, gifted me a house and promised that once I gave birth, she would transfer all her assets to the child’s name.

At first, I wanted to decline. But then she pulled.out a photo of her son, who was away on a business trip overseas.

As someone who was hopelessly drawn to good looks, I gave in almost instantly.

The wedding was arranged in a flash–but the groom missed his flight and didn’t make it in time.

My future mother–in–law insisted we go through with the ceremony anyway–with the teddy dog standing in for the groom.

Right then and there, she added another million dollars to the dowry.

So I married into the family in style. But just a few days later, I was pushed off a rooftop by my housemate.
