I was born with a gift—whatever I said came true. When I was just learning to talk, I blurted out with my toddler lisp that my dad was going to strike it rich. That very night, he hit the jackpot and won 30 million dollars in the lottery. When I was six, I told everyone the old village chief's missing grandson would come home safe. The next day, the boy was found at the edge of the village, dirty but safe. At 18, I posted online that Sanchez Group, which was about to go bust, would bounce back against all odds. Just two weeks later, their stock soared, and they were back at the top of the game. Because of my golden tongue, Linwood Group treated me like an honored guest. But the moment I stepped into Linwood Manor, someone grabbed my long hair from behind and dragged me across the floor. A voice roared, "You bitch! First you threw yourself at my fiancé outside, and now you show up at his home? You must have a death wish!" I tried to explain myself, but they wouldn't listen. They just kept kicking and punching me, insisting I was desperate for him. As my emerald bracelet shattered with a sharp crack, I tasted the faint metallic tang of blood between my teeth. What they didn't know was, besides my golden tongue, I was also born with a curse. Anyone who made me bleed would be cursed with endless misfortune. Looks like the Linwood family was about to go downhill for good.
