The Hidden Message

"Good Morning Ben and Alex,"

started the recording of a woman's voice crisp and clear.

"I know you might be surprised to find this recording but I didn't have a perfect way to send this to you. My name is Maria, for you, I am Liam's mother. After the news of Senior Alexander passing away, I have been following all of you including Liam.

According to the details, I am supposed to be dead in a car accident. But fortunately, I was rescued by my now family. Who took care of me for all these years. The accident did make me disabled, and wheelchair-bound. I wanted to return to my son, but that grumpy old man was vicious so I didn't make my presence known till now.

I know Liam has gone through a lot, mentally and physically since I left that house. But I know he trusts you all. That's why I am reaching out to you. So you can help me get back to him. I know even though he did wrong to protect his father, deep down he regrets what he has done.

About Maverick. He is not a blood relation of any kind but an adopted child the Senior planned to train to be vicious as him and train to take revenge. He planned to train him in a harsh environment and with brutal men from a tender age. So he never let him interact with the outside world. But I heard he is not that of a vicious person as the old man intended him to be.

The plan that the old man had was very harmful. And he only had one thing in his life. To be the richest man in the world. For that, he was ready to sacrifice even his own family. I know that Alexander's life was almost on the line to get what he wanted, even if he is his own son. As I know he has already killed a few to achieve his goal.

The reason he wanted to kill me was that I accidentally found out all the planning and the things he had done so far. But before I can do anything he found out about my having access to his plans. So he deliberately made my life hard and threatened to kill my son. I didn't have any other choice but to flee for my safety.

I had my brother help me with the escape, but the old man had already made plans to kill me. The car went in had a break failure and a high-speed tipper came straight at me. Luckily my brother was coming behind me. He quickly came and rescued me and took me back to Italy where I spend a year in the hospital to recover and rehabilitate for my new life.

Now that you know who I am and why I contacted you. I will get in touch with you to give out more details. Plus proof to know what a vicious man is Senior Alexander. Telling about me to Liam I will leave it up to you two to decide. My only wish is to bring peace to everyone who suffered and reunite with my husband and son,"

After listening to this we all were quiet for a while. This was so overwhelming and she could be the only person to hold valid proof of Senior Alexander's rude behaviors.

"Well, do you think you should tell Liam?" asked Paul.

"I guess we should. Maybe he knows something we don't about his mother," said Alex while my phone got an SMS notice.

"I found some details about my mother," said Liam.

I replied and asked him to meet us tomorrow.

"Well guys, Liam has found some details about his mother,"

"That's good," said Paul.

"We'll meet up tomorrow, and discuss. If you like you guys can crash in the two guest rooms,"

We all met at our HQ with Liam tagging along. After talking for a while I turned to Liam,

"What did you find out yesterday Liam?"

"Well you might want to see these," he said and handed over some documents.

These were facts about his mother, Maria. Seems like she was from a wealthy family and had a good education as well. She belonged to a prestigious family line, they also have a hidden gang to protect them just like Alex and me.

"So what I thought was correct," said Paul making Liam look at him.

I explained to him what we found.

"How is Sarah?"

"She is ok now. Went to the office and Markus and my PA are with her,"

"Do you want to listen to the audio?"

"Yes please,"

We gave him some space. I went back after a few minutes to see him holding his head in his hands while tears streamed down his face.

"Hi Liam, I know it's hard to believe this but be happy you get to know she is alive,"

"Yes, but I cannot forgive grandfather for what he did,"

"It's true, but we will together conquer it and find the truth,"

"Hmm,"

"Are you in this game with me?" I held my hand to him.

After some time he took it agreeing with me. And the others joined in.

"Do you have any news from Maverick?"

"I am hoping to meet him soon, let's hope we can find out something,"

"Ok. We will need to find a way to send a message to Maria. Do you have any idea on how to do it?" I asked Liam.

"Hmm... since I got to know about the family, I will try to send a message," said Liam looking at the letter in his hand.
