The lawyer’s office seemed to shrink as Liam re-read the will. He felt a pressure building in his head, a tightness in his chest. His sister, Chloe, had been given the family's art collection, their parents’ lifelong passion and investment. He'd been bequeathed the family home, but with a mountain of debt.

He could feel his hands clench into fists. He had always been the practical one, the pragmatist, while Chloe had pursued her artistic dreams. It seemed a cruel joke.

He fought to maintain control, but his jaw was locked tight. He wanted to break something, to lash out at the injustice of it all.
