Match Made From Heaven

⭐⭐ 2

Michael's POV

" Good morning Mom" I greeted as I walked down the stairs.

" Good morning my baby" She greeted back as she continued arranging the dishes on the dining table. Mom had always loved making the family's meal despite the fact that there are numerous maids in the house.

" Where's dad" I asked her. She looked towards the balcony and I followed her gaze. Dad was sitting there with his old newspaper. I mean who reads newspaper in this century? I walked towards him and greeted him. He nodded and continued reading whatever he was reading. He never really liked interruptions in his reading. I walked back to the dining room and sat down.

Shortly after Mom and I started eating, dad came over to join us. " Are you ready to take over today son?" Dad asked. I nodded in positive response. Well I've never really liked the family business. I love painting but since I'm the oldest and only son, that automatically made me the heir to the family business.

" Where's my princess?" Dad asked again.

" She said not to disturb her this morning. The flight really exhausted her yesterday." Mom replied. Who wouldn't be exhausted after taking numerous pictures on the plane. It wasn't as if it was her first time flying. I said in my head.

" I am sooo tired. I feel like I need more sleep" Mirabel said dramatically as she walked down the stairs. Yeah that's my kid sister. " Good morning mummy. Good morning Daddy. Good morning grumpy man" she greeted everyone and I rolled my eyes. Of course I'm the grumpy man. She settled down on a chair and started eating.

I love my family so much though they can be a bit too much at times. Dad and Mom had a love marriage and they had me after 3 years of their marriage. After that Mom had complications with her womb and she hadn't been able to give birth until after 14 years. I was excited to have a younger sibling and trust me, I'm still excited.

I completed my high school here and when I turned 22, Mirabel and I had to leave the country due to some security reasons. I didn't want to leave but it was a unanimous decision. I looked after Mirabel until yesterday. Dad had always wanted me to return home after they had sorted out the source of the problem but I didn't. I was trying to avoid taking up the family's business but since Dad had a heart attack 2 months ago and the doctor said he should stay away from stress, I had to return.

" Get ready boy. It's time to do the needful" Dad said dramatically, bringing me out of my thoughts. I shook my head playfully and stood up.

" Can I go too?" Mirabel asked dad hopefully.

" No princess. You need to stay at home and rest" Dad replied. She faced me with pleading eyes but I shook my head in negative response. She had always been curious about the office and stuffs. She said she wanted to be a business woman.

" Stay at home with me princess. We have a lot of catching ups to do." Mum said and ruffled her hair. She nodded happily and continued her breakfast. I swear she's still a baby at heart. She's so spoilt in a good way though, courtesy of me.

I walked upstairs to get ready. I've been feeling this rush of adrenaline since I woke up. I knew something was about to happen. something that would change my life but I can't just pinpoint it. I walked into my closet and took out the clothes mom prepared for me. She said she wants me to look like a serious CEO from day one. Typical mom. I wore the blue shirt with black pants. I took my wristwatch, my jacket and my bag and walked out of my room. I walked downstairs and Mom was talking to Mirabel about whatever.

" Dad?" I called out.

" He's outside waiting for you" Princess said and continued talking to Mom. For a moment I imagined my wife and daughter having a conversation like that in my living room.

Wait. What's wrong with me? I shook my head to remove that thought from my head and went outside to meet dad. The driver opened the door of the car and I sat in beside dad in the backseat. We began to move towards the office.

Well I've been overseeing most affairs of the office in the background for 5 years now but I didn't want to take over. Most of the decisions Dad had made in the last 5 years have been my opinions that I told him. No one knows about it except Mom.

Dad began to explain some things to me as we moved towards the office. My mind was divided as I was still thinking about the way my heart has been beating abnormally since day break.

" We're here sir" The driver said and Dad and I stepped out of the car. We walked into the office and some of the employees were waiting to welcome us- me the new boss. We just nodded and continued walking towards the elevator.

" Sir can I speak with you for a minute?" a man I don't o

know said to dad.

" I'll be in the office dad" i said, giving them some privacy. I walked towards the elevator and as I was about to walk in, someone collided into me. My nose immediately caught the soft fragrance of berries. Wow. I looked at the source of the fragrance and I was dumbfounded. I saw the most beautiful lady I've ever seen. I mean I've been to countries all around the world but this particular lady is making my heart to skip a bit from first sight.

" I'm so sorry sir" She said looking at me. ' You don't have to apologize pretty.' I wanted to say but I couldn't find the words in my mouth.

" Excuse me" She walked away. Okay. WHAT WAS THAT? WHO IS SHE?.
