The Guterson's Heir

CHAPTER 3

The Meet With Mama G.

The two men chorused as Michael Guterson's gaze met theirs.

Michael wondered what he would have such wealthy good-looking men do for him. He's supposed to be the one asking them that question. He wondered how he was just following them, sheepishly, like a man under a spell.

"We'll be there in less than thirty minutes Elegant Young Sir Michael. Sorry for any inconvenience."

Sebastian said as he drove. But Michael Guterson was all confused. Were they mistaking him for someone else?

Michael looked and in no time, they were already before a big beautiful mansion. Everything about them was just huge and classy for him.

"This way, Elegant Young Sir Michael." This time, one of the two able-bodied men took charge.

Michael Guterson followed, to Mama G probably.

Then he found them leading him to a royal dining. Sets of dishes already arranged before him. The choicest wines and liquors are put in their place.

"Before you see Mama, Elegant Young Sir Michael, you'll have to get filled on the royal table."

The man said again. Michael began wondering if Mama G was the Queen of a royal kingdom. But the house wasn't looking like a royal palace in any way.

But it dawned on him, he was only being begged to eat a fantastic and sumptuous-looking meal. The one he paid dollars to have not even up to its class.

"I'm sorry Elegant Young Sir Michael, but you can't see her without dining here."

Did they know he's poor, and rarely finds food to eat?

"In other words, we wouldn't be taking no for an answer." The man continued again.

They wouldn't be taking no for an answer. The meals were looking it, and Michael couldn't resist. By the way, he was famished. A broken heart and an empty stomach is no joke.

Michael Guterson sat at the table and chose the salads made with special condiments. A smoothie was on the table too. Michael had those and felt satisfied.

"This way Elegant Young Sir Michael," Sebastian said, leading him to an enclosed room upstairs.

"Mama G will join you here in no time, Elegant Young Sir Michael." Sebastian said as he took his leave.

Michael was left in the big living room that looked bigger than the one he stayed downstairs. The entire house would confuse him If he'd be left to stay all by himself.

As Michael looked, he saw a picture on the wall of a family with their two children. A boy and a girl.

He was still taken in admiration by the picture he was staring at when a hand tapped him from behind.

"It's you, Michael. It's you Michael Guterson."

The woman said and burst into a cry already.

"Geil Guterson, my son."

Michael Guterson turned. Did she just say Geil Guterson? Who is she?

"Here.." Mama G continued, ushering Michael to a sitting position.

"You see, you were all I ever wanted and needed to find since these past years. Yo..Your.. father, my son.."

Her voice was cracking and she burst into a cry again.

" My son, Wellings Guterson was involved in a ghastly motor accident with my daughter-in-law, you, and your younger sister. You were their only son. 

W..we found their remains, but not even a trace of you was found." 

Mrs. Geil struggled to say. 

"We had the police search everywhere, but you were still nowhere to be found. You were three, just three years of age."

Michael looked at her. Was that his grandmother? So he had a sister?

He looked as Mama G gave a shift from a sad to a happy mood.

"But now, now my son. I have found you. Eventually, I have. Just when I needed you the most."

Michael Guterson's eyes were opened. Does that mean the big house, the exotic cars, all will be his as well? Was he seeing his grandmother? Does that mean he has a family?

"The HEIR! The heir to the Guterson's Empire." Mama G continued again.

Just that statement drew Michael's attention. She just called him heir to an Empire.

"What do you mean grandma?" He struggled to ask.

"You see, my son. Your father, my son had everything in your name before he died. But because we couldn't find you, and there was no one else, I had no option but to manage the entire Empire." Mama G stressed.

"But you see now, age is no longer by my side again. I am battling with health issues already. The doctor had just diagnosed me with Senile dementia, which I already see it evident. The Guterson's don't even accept women for its Managing Director. It has never happened in our family history. But there was no option because we couldn't find you. Why I need you, why I need you now my son." Michael's grandmother said again.

"Sebastian..!"

His grandmother was calling and Michael was already wondering why she was calling him.

"Sebastian..!!" Mama G yelled again as no reply came from the first.

"Yes, Mama G.."

Michael saw Sebastian reply as he hurriedly rushed to his grandmother.

Sebastian came and Michael saw his grandmother gave only a wink to him. She obviously has so much swagger. Michael thought.

With just a wink, Sebastian knew what his grandmother wanted.

"This way, Elegant Young Sir Michael.." He said.

"Here's going to show you around." Mama G said, directing her grandson to undoubtedly go with Sebastian.

"He'll show you around." She said again.

"Can I also call you Mama G?" Michael asked his grandmother as he was all happy even her butlers called her by that name with so much swag.

"Why not? You're free!" His grandmother said, and Michael felt a sense of relief move across his spine.

"But I have another question Mama G." Michael Guterson said.

"Yes, I'm here." She said.

"How did you find me?" 

Michael was curious. How come she didn't pick the wrong Michael?

"The live stream", she said. Coles City University is owned by your father's close friend, so I have direct access to everything going on in the University, including the Student Affairs and Conducts." Mama G uttered.

"We follow them even on social media to see how they do." She continued again.

"..And when you lay your head down out of shame from your girlfriend's disapproval, I saw the mark I gave you at the back of your neck when you were born. A mark I was finally having a grandchild. So I immediately called Mr. Dan, your school's Chancellor to help me look you up.

And when he told me you are only a scholarship student brought from Cares Orphanage by a Good Samaritan, I knew you were the one. The Guterson in your name told me so too." Mama G continued.

"And to know where you are exactly, I had my phone tracker do that for me. Sebastian too is a tech guy."

She said and Michael began wondering if his shame and humiliation truly turned out to be the setting of his good fortune.

"Sebastian is waiting.. " 

His grandmother said, and Michael realized she just wanted him to follow Sebastian immediately, so he wondered what was it Sebastian would show him, and how it was more important than the conversation they were having.

"Come.." Mama G said, offering her wide arms for Michael's embrace.

Michael hugged her, as he proceeded to follow Sebastian who was already waiting.

"Here.. Mama G has this for you.."

Michael couldn't believe his eyes.

"A sleek Porsche for me!?"

Handing him the bunch of keys, Sebastian continued.

"Yes, the Limou too."
