Ch1

What is it that drives people to betray each other, to wound, to kill?

It is Greed.

Some do it just for the thrill.

Some for a better life.

Some for his or hers offspring.

Most for reasons unknown.

I realised this when I saw my mother cheating on my father with her boss at the age of 15. To get this straight, my mother I a beatiful woman, she uses this beauty to get whatever she wants and sometimes even her children.

The sound of flesh grinding on flesh was getting louder with each step the boy took towards his parents room, an occasional moan mixed in between. Slowly the youth lowered his head to the level of the doors keyhole, and what he saw shocked him further than the noises had.

In the Room on a double bed a woman with ample breasts was riding a Fat old Man, his semen long since spent. Soon the woman Climaxed, her back bent as she screamed out her joy.

I am an adopted child because My "Mother” was diagnosed to be unable to have children. However the Doc seems to have made a mistake so i got siblings soon after I was adopted, I was 12 a that time.

----The next day----

I got up early and did my morning routine. Get up, have breakfast, leave some for my family, short morning jog half an hour, shower and finally getting ready for school. As soon as I was done I faintly heard my mother speaking to her boss.

Disgusting old Man: "Come on Bea, just leave your Man, he is not worth your attention. Live with me, I can give you so much more. Besides, I could enlist your children in a private school, you wouldn´t have to worry about they´re education anymore."

Bea: "I don´t know James, Karl might not be perfect, but he really loves his children..."

James: "Well I know that at least Max and Joanna are my biological children. I am honestly amazed, that you were able to make him think they were his."

-So Max and Joanna are not the children of my father...-

I stop listening and make my way out of the house just to be greeted by heavy Rain.

-Great first I catch my mother cheating then i hear that my siblings are children of some fat old rich guy and now it fucking rains.-

I go back into the house and grab an umbrella. At the train station I have to wait for 2 hours for the train.

-Can this day get any worse?-

___Time skip of 6 Hours___

???: "Sorry Nico, i don´t want to be with you anymore. Brad has so much more to offer me."

Nico: "...okay Eva, i don´t want to keep you, if the only thing that kept you with me was the money I spent for you..."

Eva: "Glad you understand Nic."

On my way home I have been pondering on why I was interested in this Girl firstplace. Sure she had the figure of a model, was intelligent and funny, but I might have fooled myself when I thought that a guy with slightly above average looks could have kept her for more than one week.

This was when I made a decision. I would not be fooled and hurt by any Human anymore.

From this day forth I got quiet more and more, I distanced myself from others stopped speaking and just answered the shortest I could.

This went on untill I dropped out of Handball and Tennis. I however took the freedom of joining a kickboxing and Karate Dojo.

Why? Simple, you do not have to speak much when fighting. After 4 Years however I dropped out of the Dojos and went for underground fights. I had my debut fight on my 20th birthday.

Two youths slowly walking towards the middle of a shabby bar in the red light districts of Frankfurt. One 198 cm tall with brown shaggy hair and green eyes, the other fiery red hair and green eyes.

Burly scarred man: "Guys you know the rules, no knifes, no guns."

We both nod and get ready for the fight.

Man: "Then START!"

I raise my defense and approach my fighting partner, no my enemy.

He starts with a punch for my right kidney. However I have already caught his arm and break it, he screams in agony and I break his other arm to get this done as fast as I can. His arms hang down uselessly now.

I turn away and am willing to let him go with just that. Just as I am about to relax, I feel a sharp pain at my spine slightly above my butt. I turn around and see my enemy lowering his left leg to the ground. He shows a grin distorted with pain.

I grin back and proceed to break his legs. He now writhes in pain as i walk away and get my money from the Bartender.

I went home to get a shower.

But as I arrive I see the furniture of my Room on the paveway, demolished and broken beyond recognition. The only reason i knew this was my stuff is because of the Beige safe with my money, now it is open however.

I try to open the door of our house and notice that my key no longer works. Just as I am about to head for a window and break it to get inside and question my mother I see a letter envelope sliding underneath teh door outwards. The silouette disappears as son as i get the letter and start reading it.

"Hello Nico Broan,

it is sad to say, but your mother has gotten an writ order for you to stay away from her and your siblings due to your tendency towards violence seen since last year. Please stay outside of the range of 500m of your old house and old family, your mother wishes to break all ties with you. She fears for her safety and that of your siblings. Any violations of this writ will be handeled according to German law.

We wish you best of luck in your life.

Murdor and Sons."

"Hey mom, at least give me my saved money that you have broken out of my safe!" I cry out in an attempt to get at least a bit of justice, but the only thing that answers me is silence and moments later the sound of sirens howling.

One minute later the police arrives and sees me sitting on the sidewalk.

Police1: "Hey boy why are you sitting outside on the sidewalk?"

Nico: "Well my mother just shoved me outside of my home with no Money on my 18 birthday and i am gradually getting more pissed at her, she didnt even let me keep my laptop or cell."

Police2: "Well what are you speaking of boy, your parent can not just push you out of there if she did´nt went to court."

Nico: "That´s the problem, she did and got herself a writ so i have to keep at least 500m away from her or my siblings..."

Police1: " Can you show that writ to me boy?"

I give him the letter and he reads it once, then twice with a sad face.

Police1: "Well I can not help you with this boy, you must get out of here, i can however try to get you your money and belongings back."

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Nico: "That would be great sir."

He then proceeds to walk over to the front door and rings the doorbell. After 1 minute a sleepishly looking disgusting woman opens the door to talk with the officer. He comes back and tells me he spoke with my mother and has with him my lap and cell but no money.

Police1: "Boy how much money was inside that safe, your mother seems like she has forgotten."

Nico: "HAHAHAHAHA sure she has forgotten the money...well i had about half my money in there, that would amount to 80K. I really can not understand why there is a new car parked in front of the house, or how she could afford it when she goes shopping every 2 days..." I say and he starts thinking.

Police1: "For now you can come with us and sleep at the station for a day or two untill you have found a place to stay at, is that okay?"

"Sure, i will come back and try to get my money tomorrow, is that okay officer?"

"Yes as long as we or another officer is with you that is okay."

We then head to the Police station where I get shown to a room with a single bed and toilet, similar to a drunk cell, who am i kidding, it is one...I fall asleep as soon as i lay on the bed.

The next morning i see a pinup with:

"sorry lad, we drove to your house this morning, seems like your mother packed her stuff as soon as we left and took your siblings with her, we are currently trying to find her but we think she is out of the country already if she really did"

-Fuck shit fuck...-

Since then it has been a downward spiral of anger and grief. The flat I rent stinks and I have barely any money left. In a last attempt to save myself I went and played the lottery.

___Two days later___

"*insert mad laughter here*"

Shopkeeper: "Sir is everything alright?"

"Alright? HAHAHA ALRIGHT YOU ASK? HAHAHAHA I JUST HIT THE FUCKING JACKPOT! HAHAHAHA"

Tears stream down my cheeks as I keep laughing and encounter problems breathing.

"Sir can you give me the certificate? I need to check the system if you are the onlyone to hit the jackpot." he says smiling.

"Sure my friend, if I really did then one million is yours!" xD

After that he takes it and checks the system and it shows on the monitor: WIN!

mad laughter

"HAHAHAHA well I will come here tomorrow and bring the cash dude!"

Afterwards the procedure is finished fast and the 189 million Euro get transfered to my bank account immediately. A message arrives and the lottery people ask if the win is to be made public. Of course I agree to it and ask for it to be shown on TV.

Two days after the anouncement was made The doorbell rings and i get up to open it. The only person I hate enough I would be able to kill without regrets stands before the door. My mother.

"So Nico, i heard you got a bit cash, I want my share."

"...the only thing you get from me you stupid sardistic fucking whore is a kick in the butt, to get you out of my house for you to stop polluting the air I breathe, you oxygen thief. You had the chance to explain to me why you shoved me out of the house, left with my siblings, left Father and did not even bother showing up to his funeral when he killed himself because of you and your blame on him. The question I have is: where are my siblings?"

"They are at an orphanage, I couldn´t take the constant nagging where they´re big brother and daddy was anymore. Now give me my money for raising you 20 million, 20 million for each of you brats, so 60."

I think for a moment and say: " Of course, but only if you tell me where they are."

"They are in an orphanage at Paris, Albert took me there for our honeymoon and they ruined it!"

"Wait here i will get my check book."

I give her the check and she greedily takes it to make it into money. I quickly call my Bank and tell them to block the check the service lady agrees and tells me I have to come personally to get the check book reactivated. Humming a song I pack the little belongings I have and get ready to leave.

A second phone call later I have no Place to stay anymore and walk towards the Trainstation, I have to get my siblings out of that orphanage.

___12 Hours later___

On the flight an advertisement of Murder Corps was shown to the first class passengers, asking for sponsors in the AI development.

After getting out of the airport I ask a cab driver to drive me to every orphanage he knows in Paris. Luckily we find them on the first try. An about 60 year old woman comes to greet me and asks me in. After drinking tey and smalltalk we get to the Subject I am eager to discuss.

"So, I am thinking about adopting 2 children."

"Certainly sir, however we follow the law and must ask for a degree of trustworthiness..."

"Ah that is no problem, where can I show you?"

"Right here sir." she says and walks over to a card reader.

After accessing the account, seeing her bulging eyes and pressed breathing I know I have them Save.

"Which children would you like to adopt? We have Infants and children up to 16 years."

"I will take one boy 12 year old and a girl 16 year old."

"You are lucky sir, we have the exact old children here just 2 months ago they came here, sadly the girl seems to have been abused by her father and the boy beaten..."

I can feel my Face darkening, the Rage and Hate suppressed over the last five years starts to show and I ask with a Barely controlled Voice:

"May I ask for the names of the Parents and they´re Adress?"

"...Normally we are not allowed to give away names or Adresses, but in this particular case I will have said nothing if you heard nothing."

Five minutes later I see the Emotionless Face of my Sister and behind her the crippled brother, I start crying and run towards them. Joanna showing slight interest as I hug her. Max immediately trying to get up and yelling:

"Where have you been all those years Bro, what have you been doing? Why didn´t you come and save us from these monsters?"

I mumble slightly then let go of Joanna and hug him too and whisper:

"I was waiting for Mom to make a mistake so I may tek you with me away from them, I did not even know that fat bastard Raped Jona..."

"Bro you were gone for so long..." he started huffing and sobbing.

"Now everything will get better, I promise!"
