It was the day of the inheritance reading. Bartholomew shifted in his seat, the air in the lawyer’s office thick with expectation. The lawyer cleared his throat, reading the will. A substantial sum was left to him. He was supposed to split it with his brother, Charles, who was always so generous. Bartholomew had his phone out, about to text his financial advisor and instruct him to hide the money, “Get it out before he knows. All of it.” The message went to his brother, who smiled at him warmly.
