Family Fraud: The Big LieAfter my parents get divorced, my twin brother, Archer Sullivan, chooses one parent to live with.
I choose to be with Mom. After the divorce, Mom's mood is at an all-time low. She gambles away all of the money we have, and she begins bringing various men home the moment she runs out of money.
I have to move into a dark and damp apartment with Mom afterward. Lewd sounds keep drifting from her room every now and then.
Every day, I have to secretly take on part-time work in order to earn my living expenses, on top of going to school. Life is very harsh and bitter for me.
That is, until Archer, whom I haven't kept in touch with for a very long time, sends me a link to a streaming website.
"Tap on the link, Adam. It's a surprise for you."
I tap on the link, only to realize that the livestream that's on top of the trending list features… me?
It's a livestream with a split-screen function. One screen shows me finishing my homework under the dim light in a cheap apartment. The other screen shows my parents cuddling with Archer happily while seated on a luxurious couch in a villa.
"Let's see what sort of differences there will be between a pair of twins that are raised differently till they're 18 years old!"
"I suppose the older twin doesn't realize that his parents never got divorced, and that his family is actually very rich! Both parents are still living happily together. Even his younger brother is living a great life."
"That poor twin, though! He's living a very difficult life without three hot meals a day! Isn't this considered abuse?"
"Well, that older twin is more understanding and obedient, isn't he? That's why his parents chose to make him suffer in life."
