Bradley was always intelligent and charming but he had a serious flaw because he always preferred taking the easy way out of any situation. Even though he studied law, he could never stand the idea of real work and preferred spending money on expensive suits and luxury cars instead.
I covered his rent and bought him several new vehicles over the years because I thought I was supporting him when I was actually raising a man who could not solve his own problems. Everything became much worse when a woman named Tiffany entered his life and changed his priorities entirely.
Tiffany was a social media influencer who smiled for the cameras while calculating every move with her eyes as she looked for luxury and status. The first time she came to dinner, she did not look at me but instead spent her time examining my paintings and my expensive crystal lamps.
“This is such a spectacular apartment, Mrs. Miller, and it must be worth a fortune to anyone who wants to live by the sea,” she said while looking around the room. She asked me if I had ever thought about moving to something more suitable for my age, but I just smiled and told her that I was happy where I was.
