The grand manor house, once filled with laughter and life, felt empty and echoing now. The polished wooden floors reflected the somber expressions of Leo and Charlotte. They were in the library, listening to their late mother’s will.

The will was read, revealing a complex distribution of assets. Charlotte, the artistic one, was left with the family art collection, including several priceless paintings. Leo, the business-minded sibling, received the bulk of the financial investments. He felt a pang of guilt.

He watched his sister, whose face fell when she heard the news. He saw how the joy in her eyes changed. "She always wanted you to have those," he said, nodding towards the paintings. "You deserve it."
