I struggle with all my might, but Dad restrains me, and Mom breaks my limbs. Then, my sister seals me into the concrete. "Concrete is only brought to life with an actual person sealed inside. It looks so much more defined! It's not like you'll die after being sealed in there for a few days. How can you be so insensible?" The pain of having my limbs broken and my oxygen being cut off leads to me dying within that block of concrete. My body rots and festers inside, but my soul sticks around to watch how my parents dote on their adoptive child. They seem to be happy without me. Finally, I lose all hope in them. But when the liquid from my body seeps out of the concrete, they all lose their minds.

Dying for My Adopted Brother's Sake Chapter 9
I found Jessica in an alley in the slums.She was scrounging for food in the trash can. As I watched, she pulled out a moldy piece of bread and held it out toward the empty space beside her, smiling dumbly. "Here, Johnny. Eat this. I'll take you to school after this."The bread fell onto the ground."Eat, Johnny." Jessica picked it up again, ignoring the dust on the bread, and tried to offer it to the air.I stepped in and took the bread. "Jessica.""Johnny?" She froze for a moment, then reached out to take my hand.I stepped back. "I'm scared, Jessica. Can you come save me?"Her expression turned frantic. "Yes, I will! Don't be scared. I'm right here. No one can hurt you now."I led her out of the alley. Just as we reached the sunlight, a large truck came barreling at us. Jessica was struck and thrown several feet away.Before she died, she stared straight in my direction, blood and tears running down her face. Smiling, she said, "Don't be scared, Johnny."She finally rememb

"I killed my son with my own hands," Dad said, staring at his hands in disbelief."This is all because of you!" Jessica screamed, slapping Julian again. "If it weren't for your vile manipulations, how could I have harmed my own brother?"All I felt was a deep sense of irony as I watched them fight in front of me. I was dead now. What was the use of putting on this heartbroken act?Just then, Maria entered the police station, holding several boxes. She, too, looked at the scene before her coldly. "Ms. Jessica, Mrs. Gomez, Mr. John prepared these gifts for you. He specifically requested that you open them yourselves."I glanced at the finely wrapped gifts. They were originally meant to be a surprise for my family.They opened the boxes. Inside were just some inexpensive trinkets, but my parents, who had once mocked me for being impoverished, now clung to them, weeping bitterly.What was the point of that?They never cherished me while I was alive. Now that I'm gone, they were cryi

Just like that, the art exhibition ended in dramatic fashion.The police took Julian and my parents away. They also saved my body from being eaten by the wild dogs.Even though the police had arrived just in time, they still couldn't save my body from being gnawed beyond recognition. During the autopsy, the coroner turned away and draped a white cloth over me.It was the only dignity I was afforded after death.In the police station, Mom and Dad still refused to believe that I was dead."That's impossible! We left breathing holes for him. He must have conspired with you to put on this show. Tell me, how much did he pay you? I'll pay you double!" Dad roared."Look at this!" The police officer slapped a DNA report down on the desk. Dad took the document and skimmed it quickly. His expression darkened."It was really John?"After reading the document, Mom was stunned. "That can't be! He can't be dead. That body wasn't his! The fortune teller told us that he would survive a few day

A force beyond my control sucked me back to the side of the plaster figure.One of the waiters had accidentally knocked over the glass case. The plaster statue within it fell over as well, crashing to the ground. A puddle of black liquid began seeping through the cracks."The beggar was right! There really is a corpse in there!" the waiter screamed in terror."Shut up!" Jessica snapped. With a darkened gaze, she approached the plaster statue."John, are you trying to ruin Julian's life?" she berated me impatiently, crouching down."He's kinda smelly," Mom muttered, frowning."It must be one of his tricks! Stop that at once!" Dad said warningly. "Apologize to Julian right now, or don't even think about stepping foot into our house in the future!"I stood beside my corpse and watched my family silently.I never want to step foot in that house anymore, Dad.You don't have to put on an awkward act and keep postponing the announcement that I was your biological son.I don't want y

"There's a corpse in this statue," a voice sounded suddenly, jarring in the midst of unending praise.Jessica's face grew cold instantly. She glared at the old man standing in front of my plaster statue."Who's this lunatic spouting nonsense? Get him out of here right now!" she snapped, ordering the guards to throw the old man out.I recognized the old man immediately—he had been selling little plaster figurines at the side of the road when I met him.At the time, after Julian had framed me, I had passed out by the side of the road out of starvation. The old man had saved me. In return, I often went to his stall to help him out.Why was he here?I watched as the guards picked up the old man, my mind whirring.Then it hit me—I had invited him over previously. Today was my birthday.Mom and Dad had promised to hold a grand banquet for me, but clearly, they had forgotten that promise.I looked over at the neglected cake in the corner.Or maybe they hadn't forgotten—it was just t

I watched, on the brink of a breakdown, as my corpse was critiqued by strangers passing by.Seeing my parents escort Julian during his grand entrance made me want to charge over and shout at them in fury. Was I really their son?Why did they have to use one son's death to pave the way for the glory of another?Tears filled my eyes as I watched my parents and Julian weave through the crowd, basking in the glory that had been built upon my life."Where's your elder son? Why is he not here at such an important event?" one of the guests asked, wineglass in hand."My eldest is too uncultured for these occasions," Mom replied after a slight pause.To them, I was still that dirty and ugly beggar.When I first returned home, Julian had been caught in public speculation claiming that he wasn't my parents' biological child. In a fit of anger, my parents had called a press conference just to prove his identity.Meanwhile, they allowed the rumors to continue hurting me. Envious of my par
