My Bestie Stole My Frog and My Life

I went to the temple with my best friend to pray for good fortune. Suddenly, she grabbed the fortune stick from my hand and became excited when she saw my finger bleeding.

That's when I realized she had also been reincarnated.

In my past life, my fingertip was pricked by a fortune stick and blood dripped onto a frog, accompanied by a flash of golden light.

The monk explained it was a sign of good fortune, promising future luck if carried with me.

Despite some skepticism, that night I won a special prize of $150,000 at the mall.

The next day, a project worth over thirteen million that I had been pursuing for six months was successfully signed.

Shortly after, a young, handsome CEO from a wealthy family fell for me at first sight and wanted to divorce his wife to marry me.

The CEO's wife wasn't mad. She admitted she'd lost to me and gave me a business worth more than one billion dollars as a dowry.

But soon after marrying into that wealthy family, my jealous best friend pushed me off a tall building. I was crushed and died horribly.

"Go to hell, bitch! You're not better than me at anything, so why were you so lucky? What I can't have, neither can you!"

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment of drawing lots.

——

"Hahaha! The stick pricked my hand and my blood splashed onto the frog!"

"Sir, do you have any advice?"

My best friend, Erica Rocha, became so excited that she danced with joy and looked at the monk eagerly.

The monk glanced at her with some surprise, then looked down to see the golden light flashing on the frog.

He finally spoke, looking a little helpless.

"This is a destined good omen. Take it home and take good care of it and you'll have good luck from now on."

Erica had always been terrified of slimy animals, but now she held the frog like a treasure. "The heavens have finally smiled on me! The lucky frog is mine at last!"

Upon seeing this, I was certain that Erica had been reborn just like me.

Just thinking about how vicious she looked when she pushed me down the stairs in our past life and the pain that felt like being torn apart, sent a chill down my spine.

But Erica didn't notice how I felt at all. She was completely focused on proving that luck was finally on her side.

"Jasmine, the one who got lucky is me! You've got no hope in this life. Just give up and go," she said.

She dragged me to the biggest supermarket in Sailhaven. Today, shopping there meant you could enter a lucky draw and the grand prize was $150,000.

After buying some things, she squeezed into the crowd and tossed both our receipts into the draw box.

"The grand prize is mine … it's mine … "

Erica kept mumbling nervously, looking unsure.

Soon, they announced the results and sure enough, Erica had won the grand prize.

Right then, a frog croaked from her pocket.

Everyone surrounded her with envy and she couldn't stop smiling.

"So it's real! The Lucky Frog really brings good luck! It's finally my turn to shine!"

She rolled her eyes at me and said with pride, "Jasmine, you're jealous, aren't you? But this is just the beginning. With the Lucky Frog, I'm going straight to the top! Someone like you isn't even worthy of being my friend anymore. We're done!"

Then she pushed past me and walked off, full of herself.

Jealous?

I couldn't help but laugh.

In my previous life, I was the one who got the frog and I was the one who got $150,000.

But fate's gifts had always come with a price. Erica didn't realize that what she thought was the peak of her life was actually a terrifying nightmare.

Every day after marrying into that rich family felt worse than death. I regretted taking that frog so many times.

Since she wanted to steal this kind of "luck," I just wished her the best because she was going to need it.

The next day, Erica walked into the office dressed head to toe in designer brands and covered in jewelry.

Everyone knew she came from an average family, so one of the coworkers asked curiously, "Erica, did you win the lottery?"

"How much can you even get from winning the lottery? I was about to be worth more than one billion!"
