Falling For The Sister I Seek

The Strange Feeling

Nath POV

Attaining the position of acting CEO immediately when my father felt sick was the most terrible and sweet thing that had happened to me in the last three months…… I barely had a long rest when I finished my degree that I took over. All my dreams of taking my charming princess into luxury shopping after my exams became a day dream because the job became a big role for me ……

“hello babe, won't you take me shopping again".... “ I am sorry, the new driver will take you"...... “This wasn't what you promised me"..... She retorted and angrily cut the phone …. My mood ,my face, my expression, everything about me became sad but as I was about to step out, I sighted this girl, my mother's new maid that now works for us…..

---

The moment I saw her, the world around me paused, my mood changed, something lifted the burden in my heart….. I felt like she was the one that placed it there and she is here to remove it……. It wasn’t dramatic. It was gentle, too gentle for anyone else to notice. A quiet shift in the atmosphere, the kind that only a man who has controlled every detail of his life would feel when something he can’t control steps into it.

She walked in, and everything inside me reacted before my mind did… .. She moved front and later came back to the same spot…. The more I see her, a slow, deep breath I didn’t realize I had taken, that sharp, unsettling awareness that something important had just happened to you

I’ve stood in rooms with elites of this world, Presidents, CEOs, royalty, none of them ever made my pulse hesitate, but she did . Making my body shiver as if I will be swallowed up by the ground if I don't see her again. This stranger with calm eyes and an unintentional grace managed to strip me of the worries I’ve been carrying for a while now.

I told myself to look away, I didn’t. I was forced to ask her if she was lost and yes , it was true, she was new and lost at the same time…… Pointing her way for her felt like winning an award for myself , as if I have never seen a lady in my life before…… I tried to look away again, when I realized what I was doing but no……. Instead, my eyes followed the curve of her movement, the way she walked elegantly and carried herself, the way she glanced around like she wasn’t sure she deserved to be in a mansion like this, my world of wealth, steel, and glass.

And suddenly, I wanted to know everything about her…… Yes, she also resembles the lady that won several awards in the last graduation held for all higher schools in the state. The girl came out extraordinarily brilliant and intelligent. If I happen to meet such a brilliant lady,I wouldn't hold back a bit to have such a person as a friend because I have already fallen for her even in front of the screen but it's just a pity that I don't even know her… I tried to remain calm, almost cold, but inside there was boiling more than a hundred degrees Celsius, slow and steady, impossible to ignore.

When her eyes finally met mine, when she replied to me, it hit me like a strike to the ribs.

Not painful, just undeniable.

A connection with no logic and no permission……. I looked at her very attractive and beautiful more than I was supposed to… ..A billionaire shouldn’t stare.

A man in my position shouldn’t feel anything this fast.

But I couldn’t look away.

I felt the shift in my voice the moment I approached her—lower, smoother, a softness no one ever hears from me…..“Welcome,” I said, more quietly than I intended…..She didn’t know it, but I was already fighting myself…..The power, the control, the discipline none of it mattered.

Not at that moment…..Because what I felt the first time I saw her wasn’t ordinary….It wasn’t polite.

It was the beginning of something I knew I wouldn’t be walking away from.

_________

She already left so I came back out of my thoughts, ready to find ways to satisfy my girlfriend Gloria…… Of all the girl friends I have had in the past Gloria was still the only one who understood me….. I am a tough and hard-on decision maker and I don't like when people decide for me. Once I take you out and you fumble trying to control me or make suggestions, I dumb you…… I don't have time for chit-chat with a lady,I am too busy for that and only Gloria who has had the patience to stay with me for six months straight without breaking up, even though we have our ups and downs but we still stay together…..

Yes, Gloria was from a good and wealthy home, maybe one of the reasons why she endures me…..Her father had streams of businesses all over the State that his name also pump out when we least name of elite in the state just that she is jealous, extremely jealous……I can't forget the day a cousin of mine who she knows nothing about saw me at the restaurant with her and she can straight to hug me…… The next sound I heard besides me was “gbosgbos” blood started gushing out of Mirabelle's forehead…..

We quickly rushed her to our hospital where she was being treated while I tried to cover up for her because of the love I have for Gloria, even though it hurt me but she was still the best that can handle my egoism as a man……. I was still in my thoughts when I ran to the new maid at the parking lots as the driver was about to zoom out of my car for a meeting I have this morning and to clear my mind and have a good day for myself….. I smiled at her and she did the same back, reminding myself of her name in my mind.

”Daisy" and I promise myself to get in touch with her when I come back….In fact I quickly reshuffle my day so that I can have some time with her tomorrow before I leave for work, I don't care how tight my day will be tomorrow, of course I am the CEO and my dad doctors appointment to…… The thought of it makes my teeth come out small and it makes me have a good morning and a good day as well..
