A Fate Reclaimed
After my sister, Mona Ramsey, and I graduated from college, our family went bankrupt.
Our father gave us two options: One was to marry into the Whites through an alliance. The other was to take over the company and clean up the mess.
In my previous life, Mona wanted the rich socialite lifestyle and chose to marry into the Whites. She ended up being brutally tortured by her husband, leaving her disfigured and disabled.
I, on the other hand, relied on my talent for business to bring the company back from the brink.
For a while, I was riding high and had everything going for me.
Mona grew insanely jealous of me. At the company's IPO launch event, she stormed into the venue carrying gasoline and set me on fire.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment when our father gave us the choice.
This time, Mona rushed to stand in front of me.
"Dad, let Laura marry into the Whites," she said. "She's been spoiled since she was little. She can't handle a hard life. I'll stay with you and face everything that's coming."
I couldn't help laughing.
Oh, my silly little sister! Staying would be far more miserable than marrying into the Whites.
