Liam,
So my mother is alive. But why didn't she contact me all these years? Is it because of my grandfather? What must have really happened to her?
Liam had a lot of questions in his mind. But how can he find answers? At the moment he is unable to leave the country and search for his mother. So he arranged a team to go and find out details about her. And get in touch, on his behalf.
Meanwhile,
Maria was looking into more about the details of Senior Alexander. He was a man with a vision but his greed overpowered his real personality. But why did he become like that? As she knew the Senior was well known and liked all around but she remembered there were some just pretending to be honored to know him.
Or was the old man feeling threatened that his past normal life would come to the surface? The time he struggled to start a business. Or was he a target for someone who is waiting to celebrate his downfall? I don't know but these are the questions that kept running through my mind for many years.
When it comes to Liam, my son. I feel so sorry for him. Why did I leave him to suffer? He has gone through more than he can handle. Special plastic surgery. Why? I don't know why Alexandre (my husband) stop something like this. Wasn't he aware of these? What kind of a father was he actually?
If I do remember Alexander had been weak in health and was not really happy to be involved in the Senior's plan. So he eventually went to his son-in-law. Their adopted son, Maverick, was kept isolated from everyone after his parents died in a plane crash. I have only seen that boy when he was just about one year old, Liam was about three years old.
From what I found, Maverick was trained to be tough and brutal, and fearless. I don't know if he is really like that or not. But I know he lived under strict instructions. Even though he has the same face as he had as a small child. It will be hard to get to know him better as his social interaction is almost nil.
On the other side, Liam was meeting with Markus. But he was having a hard time how to start this conversation.
"Why did you ask me to meet you?" asked Markus with an attitude that made Liam feel a bit tense.
"Well, do you know what grandfather expected from you?"
"Hmm... never bothered to ask as I never had a reason to,"
Liam was confused, did he really didn't know? Liam handed him some documents.
"What are these?"
"Just go through them," said Liam sipping some coffee.
Liam looked at his expression change. He knew Maverick is going to have a hard time believing what he was reading. After about half an hour, Maverick looked at Liam in disbelief.
"Is this all true?"
"yes Maverick. All those documents are copies of the originals. Every single thing was done by grandfather,"
"How can I believe you without proof?"
"You can find out if I am telling the truth or not,"
"Do you really believe these are true?"
"I have got proof after proof to believe in these. But I want you to find out yourself,"
"Why?"
"So you understand what grandfather has been molding you into. What kind of a bad vicious person he is," said Liam making Maverick look shocked.
"Do you know grandfather almost killed my mother because she got to know all his evil plots,"
"NO way he wouldn't!" shouted Maverick.
"After twenty-five years I get to know she is alive but disabled because of the accident. And will she know I am her son if she ever sees me?" cried Liam.
Maverick looked at him trying to understand.
"Look at me, look at my face? This all was done by my grandfather. Will my mother ever recognize me,"
Then only Maverick understood the agony Liam was going through. But he didn't know how to comfort him. Because he was never comforted by anyone but learned to be emotionless with time. After looking at Liam he went and hugged him to comfort him.
