Liam woke up early in the morning to dress up before his wife. He called out to his secretary about his lateness to work for three days and booked an appointment with the counselor. He needs to fight for himself and his wife.
He drove twenty kilometers drive to the woman's office, the secretary told him to enter and so he knock.
" Come in... " Liam heard a audible voice from the inside as he open the door and saw a woman sitting calmly. The woman look old but not too old to retire quick, he must have a lot of experience. he calmly sit down and greeted her
" Good morning ma'am.. I'm Alexandro Liam, the son of Frankio Liam and also the CEO of Heir's company. I'm married to Angela Liam and my marriage is just right month. should I continue?" he asked
" You don't need to introduce yourself like that, I already checked your file and saw of it but why did you mention Don's name? to scare me?" she asked curiously as he take note of his reaction
" Well, I need you to know before you started. have lost so many people in my life especially those who wanted to help me, who loved me and cared for me. I never wanted to put anybody in danger but I just don't have a choice." he said calmly as he bow his head.
" What happened to you? You look calm, innocent and a great man who my children and friends adore. they loved your courage to work so hard at your tender age to become a CEO of a big popular company. so tell me dear, what happened to you?" She gently said
Liam looked at the woman and close his eyes. he recall everything and a drop of tears fell on his cheeks
" I used to be a good, calm, gently and more or less opposite to my father. After a year that I was born, I lived with my grandma which my father's mother for a year and that was where I learnt to be different. She taught him manners and like she said " I never taught your father any manner because I never had the chance to but I promise to teach you my best till I die." she said and since then, I began my training. i spent two years with my grandma until my father visited us and told my grandma that he wants me to come home cuz he believed I was changing somehow. my grandma refused, he fought with her over me, threatened her but she stood firm. My father killed my grandma right in front of me. I ran away and my father chased me. he got hold of me and punish for the very first time. He carried me to his warehouse locked me there. I had a little flashlight with me and so I switch it on and saw a two dead bodies right in front of me in the room. I screamed so loud but nobody heard me cuz the place was soundproof. I kept screaming and screaming for them to take me away from the place cuz I don't want to stay there with dead people. I spent two days there without eating. When I came outside, A three years old boy came out looking down and helpless. I missed my grandma and every night I had nightmares of three dead bodies includes my grandma. My mom tries to calm me down but she failed, everytime she comes to my room my dad hit her. I heard her screamed every night, fighting him everyday for me. My dad took me to their room a night to sleep with them has family, I pretended to sleep when I heard my mom's voice. she was talking about me with my father but he got angry and hit my mom on her stomach and she lost the baby inside of her as blood began to come out. is that all ? No he slept with her with blood all over her body. I wanted to scream but I know if my dad knew I was awake, he will kill me cuz I looked at my mom's face once and she gave me a signal to stay quiet so I did and kept watching with tears in my eyes. That day I repeated my mom.." He said as he opened his eyes with fresh tears coming out bitterly. The woman moved closer to him and touched his shoulder, he freaked out.
" I think you we are done for the day but I need you to do something, can you locate your grandma's house and visit her or her burial ground?" she asked gently
" Yes, I know where she was buried." He quickly replied
" Good!!!.. I need you to visit her today and say your mind. if you want to cry then go ahead but pour out your heart." She said as Liam nod in response.
" Thank you ma" He said and left. he drove Fourty kilometers to from the counselor office to his grandma's burial. he search her name and saw it with nothing on it. he dropped the flowers he brought on his way to the place on top of her burial and sat down gently on it.
" Grandma!!!!... I'm sorry I ran away when you needed me the most. I felt guilty after I got back from the warehouse I was kept for two days. I'm sorry grandma that have not been a good grandchild to you despite your efforts to make me different from my father. I would love to tell you that your efforts was my wasted and the reasons that I stood firm despite my father's attempt to change me, he failed cuz I always remember what you've taught Grandma. today, am one of the youngest richest billionaire in the world. I named my company after your grandma. Hier's company. Heritage after your name grandma as the first, second and third alphabet of the name. I want you to always know that I put you first and I will never forget you or your morals. I'm married ma, her name is Angela Liam the daughter of Mr Collins. I know you don't know him. She told me she loves me grandma. I felt the same way but I don't want to tell her for her own safety, I don't think I can endure this one if I lose her. I can't let her die in my arms again. I might run mad with so many blood in my hands" He said and he recall every experience he had with her. He wept so loud until he had no tears left.
Liam left the burial ground and drove gently to the house.
