When an arranged marriage was about to happen in a wealthy family, the real daughter showed up. She claimed the billionaire parents were hers. She claimed the rising star fiancé in the business world was hers. I just nodded and smiled. If it weren’t for my lucky koi fish constitution… Are you sure her family is really that wealthy? Could this fiancé really have become such a success on his own? My wedding to my childhood sweetheart was just around the corner when an unexpected visitor showed up at our house. She claimed to be my mother’s long-lost biological daughter and accused me of being an imposter who had stolen her life. She and my mom even did a DNA test, which confirmed their biological relationship. That night at dinner, Luna slammed her fork down and pointed at me, yelling, “You need to leave this house right now! You’re not welcome here anymore!” My mom frowned and said softly, “Luna, don’t be so rude to your sister. Even if Rachel isn’t my biological daughter, I still raised her.” Luna immediately threw her bowl on the ground and burst into tears, burying her face in my mom’s chest. She sobbed about how difficult her life had been, growing up all alone. By the end, my mom’s eyes were red as she comforted Luna, saying she had suffered so much. “But Rachel isn’t really part of our family,” Luna insisted. “She shouldn’t have our last name or live in our house!” My mom frowned but didn’t say anything. I finished my last bite of shrimp and stood up. “If that’s how it is, I’ll move out for now so you can spend time with Mom.” Luna glared at me. My mom looked heartbroken as she slipped a credit card into my hand. “The PIN is your birthday,” she whispered. Luna saw this and started crying even harder. I called Luna’s brother – or I guess my brother now. Apparently when we were born, the nurse had mixed us up. When he answered, a cultured male voice said, “Who is this?” “I’m your sister – the one you’ve never met but who shares your blood. Any chance you could come pick me up?” Half an hour later, a car pulled up outside. Luna shoved me out the door. “Hurry up and leave. Don’t come back!” My mom kept telling me to take care of myself. I looked at this stranger who was supposedly my brother as he helpfully put my luggage in the car. Turning back, I gave a cold smile to the smug-looking Luna. “I hope you’re prepared. Don’t regret this.” Then I got in the car with my newfound brother. As he drove, he kept glancing over at me. “My place is pretty small. I hope you won’t mind.” “Of course not. We’re siblings after all – we have to support each other!” I said with a bright smile. We pulled up to an apartment building with no elevator, so we had to walk up. My brother was carrying my suitcase when he got a phone call just as we reached the door. After listening for a moment, a huge grin spread across his face and he started thanking the caller profusely. “What happened?” I asked when he hung up. “A small program I wrote just won an international gold award. The prize is about $100,000!” I smiled and congratulated him. “I can’t believe it,” he said excitedly. “I knew the winner for this competition was usually predetermined, so I just entered to get my name out there. But the expected winner dropped out, and I actually won!” He ushered me inside, still beaming. I wasn’t surprised by this turn of events. Ever since I was little, I’ve had incredible luck that seemed to rub off on those around me too. My luck has always been unbelievable. As a kid, I could ace multiple choice tests with my eyes closed. Finding money on the ground when I was thirsty and wanted ice cream was a regular occurrence. Once when I was young, I bought a lottery ticket on a whim and won $30 million. My parents invested that money, and I decided to buy some stocks too just for fun. Those stocks skyrocketed, making us a fortune. From then on, my parents’ business flourished. Even my childhood sweetheart rode the wave of success, becoming a rising star in the business world. I patted my brother’s shoulder. “You’re going to be even richer in the future.” He nodded with a grin, promising to treat me to a fancy dinner once the prize money came through. True to his word, he took me out to celebrate as soon as the money hit his account. He told me about work that day – how everyone else had been slacking off, but the boss caught him working hard and was planning to give him a promotion and raise. “Rachel, why has my luck been so amazing lately?” he wondered aloud. We went to an upscale restaurant, and just after ordering, I ran into some familiar faces – my ex-fiancé Zachary and Luna. Luna looked startled to see me, then angrily pointed at my brother. “Matthew, what’s the meaning of this? You never took me to places like this before!” I grabbed her finger and bent it back until she gasped in pain. “Because we’re real siblings,” I said sweetly. I only let go when Luna’s face had gone pale from the pain. “Long time no see, Rachel,” Zachary greeted me. Luna immediately latched onto his arm. “You’re MY fiancé now. Why are you talking to her?” Zachary glanced at me awkwardly as he gently pushed Luna away. “I was engaged to Rachel. Even if you’re Mr. Lee’s real daughter, that doesn’t change our engagement.” Luna’s expression froze, her eyes filling with tears. “Why? She stole everything from me! My parents should be mine, and you should be mine too!” I chuckled softly at her dramatics and sat back down. Luna threw herself into a chair, sobbing. Zachary looked between us uncertainly, clearly torn. “Rachel, did your aunt and uncle really kick you out?” he asked. I nodded. “Why else would I be out to dinner with my brother?” Zachary’s expression tightened, and he slowly moved towards Luna. Of course – he still needed the Lee family’s support for his business. And I was no longer the daughter of the wealthy Lee family. Seeing Zachary come over, Luna finally stopped crying and shot me a smug look. After dinner, I took my brother to buy a lottery ticket. I was looking for the one with the biggest jackpot. He laughed and teased me. “Rachel, don’t try to get rich quick. You have to work hard to earn money.” “I know, but sometimes luck beats hard work,” I replied. And luck was definitely one of my talents. I spent $20 on a ticket. A week later when the numbers were drawn, I had won! After taxes and donating some to charity, I walked away with $15 million. Matthew’s jaw dropped. “Are you some kind of lucky charm reincarnated?” To be honest, I’ve wondered about that myself. It’s entirely possible. Without hesitation, I bought a mansion across the street from the Lee family and happily moved in. The dog that had been in Luna’s arms immediately ran over to me, tail wagging furiously. “What are you doing back at my house? Get out!” Luna shouted angrily. I pointed at the mansion across the street. “Actually, that’s my new house!” Luna couldn’t believe it until I waved the deed in her face. My parents weren’t surprised at all. After all, their initial success had come from a scratch-off lottery ticket I bought on a whim as a child.
