Five Years Away

Synopsis

It had been five years since I cut ties with my family. I survived by moving corpses for a living. Finally, I scraped together enough for a down payment on my own place. But just as I was waiting for my paycheck, I ran into my brother, Finley Lewis. He was there... picking a grave for the fake heiress's dog. Our eyes met, and instinctively, we both looked away.Until I accepted the 3,000 dollars paycheck from my boss. Then he smirked, "Never thought five years away, you'd be doing... well." I glanced at the black card in his hand. "Not bad... but not as good as Kelsey's dog," I shot back. He didn't even hesitate when he spent 300 thousand dollars on a dog's grave. Meanwhile, my apartment cost barely 100 thousand. Finley's voice tightened awkwardly, "I know you can't handle a hard life. Apologize now, and I'll let you come home." I shook my head and carefully stuffed the money into my pocket. I had already contacted the realtor. Soon... I'd have a home of my own.
