Woman Rejects Poor Man’s Love, Proposes to Him After Waking up from Coma – Story of the Day
A woman’s life turns into a Cinderella story when she rejects a poor man’s love and chooses her rich boss, who worships her with expensive gifts and diamonds. Unlike the fairytale ending, her life meets with an unexpected twist when she wakes up from a coma one day.
I never had a rosy childhood. Born to middle-class parents, I always craved a rich life, one that my best friend Sophie had. On my 17th birthday, she and her boyfriend, Jake, both 18, came to my party with an expensive gift. She bragged about cruising and traveling around the world with her guy.
