The humid air of the solicitor's office suddenly felt suffocating. Amelia clenched her jaw so hard she thought her teeth might crack. Her brother, Thomas, was practically bouncing in his seat, a smug grin plastered across his face. He'd always been the golden child. Now, it seemed, the family fortune was only golden for him.

"But…but the vineyard?" Amelia choked out, her voice barely a whisper. The legal document in front of her stated clearly: the family vineyard, the one she’d poured her heart and soul into for years, was entirely in Thomas's name.

A vein throbbed in her temple. She slammed her fist on the polished mahogany table, making the lawyer jump. Years of sweat, of backbreaking labor, and now… this. She glared at Thomas, who just shrugged, his eyes alight with a cruel kind of amusement.
