A message arrived from a biological brother, a man named Ethan, and his family. The news was still fresh, but her eyes immediately went to the family’s social media. Ethan's life was full of fancy cars and designer clothes.

She arranged a meeting. She listened to him describe his latest purchases, his luxurious trips. She felt a strong urge, a burning fire.

The conversations went on, and she was always calculating the wealth. She began to dream of the same things. The same life. She wanted it all.
