...It was a rainy summer day two years ago....

...While it was almost storming outside, I sat at my desk and studied....

...The weather seemed to mirror my mood....

...In recent years, the ground had been pulled away from under my feet while I was just 17 years old but almost completely alone....

...I admit that there are people who are worse off....

...Even though my mother was dead and my father did not officially recognize me as his child, he at least paid me some money every month....

...I would have a roof over my head and mostly food on the table....

...But like many people, I was dissatisfied with my life.......

...I looked out of the window because I could not concentrate at all in math I was just not good....

...I thought about going to the library, but I decided against it....

...Around 22 o'clock it stopped raining I looked out and saw the first bees flying around on my neighbor's flowers....

...I went to bed and fell asleep thinking about the simple life of a bee....

...The next morning ->...

...It was now Monday, the worst day of the week. I mean we are all of this opinion or ??...

...I packed up my school time, greased a break bread and pulled me a jacket over....

...Like every day, on the way to the train, I passed the old lady who always looked so lost....

...I greeted her and she greeted me....

...I lived in the outskirts of Derlon, a town known for its museums. The station with us in the outskirts Todel was quite run down here lived mostly only short workers and old people with small pensions....

...They all had their own problems but what we all had in common were colorful dreams....

...After getting off the train at the station, the smile of my best friend was waiting for me at the main exit....

...As almost every morning she greeted me with the words "Good morning Matthew you are late again"....

...I looked at her and just replied "I know"....

...She was the only friend who had never left me. Accordingly, she was important to me....

...We walked the rest of the way to school together....

...The classes on this Monday were not unusual, just like the hot weather....

...After the last lesson we went to the library together....

...We both like to read books, especially novels. My favorite book at that time was "The Shadow of the Wind" by Zafón....

...Around 6 p.m. we said goodbye at the station and I got on my train back to Todel....

...It was like any other day, at least that's what I thought until I arrived home....

...In front of my front door was a strange looking man, actually more like a gloomy looking man, I ran up to him and asked him nicely if I could help him in any way....

...He looked at me strangely and asked me if I was Matthew....

...At first I didn't know if I should lie or not, because with his appearance everyone would think he was a gangster....

...So I said no. He looked at me strangely and turned around so in the end he walked away....

...Even hours later I couldn't get this man out of my head....

...I lay awake in bed wondering who he was, what he wanted, or if he really was a gangster....

...At some point I had fallen asleep....

That's for now...

...Before I knew it, it was already Friday....

...I had been so distracted the whole week that it had flown by without further incident....

...I was getting ready for my part-time job....

...I worked in a small cafe in the old town....

...The owner was a friendly older lady who ran the cafe with the help of her son....

...She always talked about how her husband and she always wanted their own cafe. But then he died early and she had opened this cafe with the help of her son....

...She was an interesting woman ......

...When I arrived at the cafe around 14 o'clock, the boss greeted me friendly....

...Her son Samuel was in the kitchen baking some cookies, because for these very cookies the cafe was known....

...The hours passed while I was serving customers as a good looking man in a suit entered and said in an inappropriate commanding tone that he wanted a coffee....

...Of course I did not complain about his behavior because "customer is king"....

...After I had served him his coffee he sat down at the back table and worked on his laptop....

...I kept looking in his direction as I worked. (Well, he was just really handsome)....

...When it was 8pm I went up to him to tell him that the cafe was closing and he looked at me and asked how much....

...I was briefly shocked by his renewed unfriendliness and then said 3.50 €....

...He gave me a ten bill and said fits so befor he got up and went out the door....

...Samuel and the boss said goodbye and left me to clean up....

...I made clean,cleared the cash register ,wrote a shopping list for the next day and left the cafe around 23 clock....

...The night sky was clear as very rarely the stars and the moon at the foundation illuminated the alleys of the old town, which I comfortably sauntered along in the direction of the station....

...The closer I came to the station the more people met me because near the station are hip bars like the Hemelton....

...The people paid as little attention to me as I did to them....

...When I fell at almost 0 o'clock in my bed I was relieved that I could sleep in tomorrow....

...These nevertheless so quiet nights I should miss soon already. because already on Wednesday morning I read in the newspaper. A shocking news. The daughter of the entrepreneur Adalbert Krownberg was not of his blood. His wife had betrayed him and lied to him all these years. So the person who everyone thought was the heiress of the Krownberg empire was no longer entitled to inherit. After reading this, I didn't think too much about it, I just took note of the fact that the man who was called my father was in the newspaper. Because I was the son Adalbert Krownberg never wanted....

That's for now...

...We all have to take consequences for our actions. That is the one unwritten rule that catches up with us sooner or later. And so I woke up on Thursday with an unpleasant premonition....

...That morning I was so absent-minded that I didn't even greet the old lady....

...I even missed my train and had to wait for the next one....

...To my displeasure, my premonition was confirmed and even before the entrance to my school I was approached by someone....

...He introduced himself as my father's assistant and politely asked me to get into the car....

...I refused and wanted to go further....

...However, I was stopped by two men....

...The assistant assured me that it was very important. I looked at him and although I knew that it was not his fault. I answered harshly, "So was my mother's funeral for me."...

...He looked at me for a moment and with a wave of his hand indicated to the two men to take me with them....

...Thus I would be dragged against my will into the car....

...A few minutes later the car stopped in front of a magnificent estate and they opened the car door for me....

...I got out and followed the assistant inside....

...We walked through a large, luxurious entrance hall and hallways decorated with paintings. Up for a black oak door....

...The assistant knocked and then entered followed by me....

...There he sat, the man I didn't really want to see again. Wearing a dark blue suit that I was sure was tailor-made, he was sitting behind a massive desk....

...He looked at me and said to his assistant that he could go out....

...After the assistant had left us alone, I asked without further ado what he wanted....

...He eyed me again and replied "I suppose you read the paper, then you should know why you are here."...

...I said back, slightly annoyed, "Your wife has cheated on you and laid a cuckoo's egg in your nest, and now you need an heir of your blood. And if you think I have to rejoice now then you have proven yourself wrong I want nothing to do with you!"...

..."It's not about what you want with this development of events you are the only heir and therefore from today you will be prepared to take over the Krownberg Empire" he replied ignorantly....

...And of course I was not going to accept it like that. "I'm not one of your puppets and I'm not your son, that's how you decided it yourself," I shouted at him. But he just laughed and answered that it didn't matter, I couldn't change it....

...Your rooms are prepared, you can move into them immediately and because of your school education I will try to find you a place at an appropriate school....

...You are dismissed, go to your room....

...And with that he ended the conversation....

...His assistant entered again and led me to my new room....

...After I was finally alone, I looked around and it was a large and bare room with large windows....

...I opened all the closet doors and drawers and sure enough, everything I needed was there in the right size. The clothes were now still necessarily my style but the school utensils were all in my favorite color blue....

...I lay down after my such action on the bed and thought about my future....

...I didn't really want this kind of life. I had been happier with my small apartment and my best friend....

...Running away was not an option at that time because my father had increased the security precautions. I might have gotten as far as the front door but no further....

...I was angry and desperate....

...After a while I fell asleep with tears in my eyes....

...That's for now......
