Contracted To Her Hated CEO CHAPTER FIFTY
MUNAWhen I came home, I had all intentions of just falling into a deep sleep and not thinking of all the drama from the past few days, but the sight in front of me, changed everything.Grant was on his knees at the middle of the room. There were tulips and roses everywhere in the room with our wedding pictures and even pictures of us together when we were teenagers."Munachi, I want to sincerely apologise for all the hurt that my actions in the past nine years might have caused. I am so sorry for not believing you at the moment when you needed me to, I am so sorry that I let someone as crazy as Elizabeth Marks come between us. I am ready to spend the rest of my life making amends to you. Will you accept my apology?" He smiled sincerely.Grant was such a proud guy and I knew that he must really mean what he said if he was on his knees.I smiled and made my way to where he knelt. I gestured for him to get up and hugged him tightly."I'm so sorry, Muna. You have to believe me, I didn't

MUNAGrant and I immediately left his parents' house after he got that distressing call concerning Olivia.We got into his car and drove in silence to the hospital. I watched how he kept clenching his jaw every time we got caught in traffic. Finally, we got to the hospital where Olivia was admitted. Grant rushed out of the car and didn't even bother to open the door for me or check if I was following him.He took out his phone and called someone."Michael, how is she? I'm outside of the hospital now."I couldn't hear what Michael said, but it seemed like it wasn't good news, Grant hastened his steps. I could barely keep up with him."I'm here to see Olivia Richard, she was brought in by Michael Andrew this evening, a few minutes ago," he said impatiently to the the people at the counter."Just hold on while we check our records," the nurse said."Okay.""Ms Olivia Richard is admitted in VIP Room 409," the nurse announced."Okay, thanks, I said while Grant just rushed off without me.

GRANTI couldn't believe all the drama that had happened throughout the past few days since Muna and I got married.First it was Elizabeth and now Olivia. I was so busy trying to deal with the issue with Elizabeth that I forgot about Olivia.I still couldn't believe she attempted suicide. I couldn't think of a good reason why Olivia did what she did.I walked into her room and saw her lying on the bed, looking pale. It was as though she wasn't the lively Olivia I had known all my life.She turned and saw me walk into the room. Her face contorted into a frown when she asked, "was it you? Why did you have to save me?""Why are you sounding like that? Did you really want to die? Why did you do it?" I frowned, taking my seat beside her bed."I'm sorry and I'm also ashamed. I am such a terrible person, Grant. I just had to do it, I love you Grant, I always have and if I can't have you, I honestly see no reason for my existence," she declared in tears.I heard someone gasp and turned to see

MUNA"This is officially the best dish I've ever had," Grant said, smiling as he wiped his mouth after eating."Oh come on, you flatter me. Your Mum made Jollof Rice the other day we were at your house," I laughed."I think yours is better, though. I'm sorry for saying you weren't capable of cooking anything that first time you came here.""You only believed what my image portrayed. Tobi was the one who taught me all I know about cooking," I replied and noticed his face darken in displeasure.I continued still, "Tobi is such an amazing chef. He has a YouTube channel, you know. When I first met him, I expected him to be this kind of rich kid who wouldn't even know his way around the kitchen just like me, but he surprised me. He—""Enough talk about Tobi, today is about the both of us. I appreciate the fact that he taught you to cook so well, but I don't want us to talk about him," He frowned, taking the plates to the sink."So what do you want us to talk about instead?" I teased him as

MUNAI felt a little discomfort in my abdomen and hissed in pain. I quickly took out the bottle of Ibuprofen in my bag and swallowed two pills with some water.It was becoming clearer to me that there was definitely something wrong with me. I was going to take a test at the hospital to find out what exactly was responsible for the terrible migraines, lower belly and back pain I was constantly getting, but at the last minute, I chickened out.When Grant saw me coming out of the lab, I had to lie that I was just doing a routine body check-up.I took a nap and by the time I woke up, it was already 8pm. Grant was clearly taking his time with Olivia at the hospital.He had made it seem like he was going to take long, but had been gone for hours now.I took out my phone and dialled his number, it rang, but he didn't pick up. A few minutes later, I called again, but he didn't answer.Deciding not to give to much thought to the fact that he wasn't answering my calls, I took a shower and got d

MUNAI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Letting out a groan due to the discomfort in my lower belly, I answered the phone without checking the caller ID."Hello?" I groaned, standing up from the bed and registering that I was still in Rainer's apartment."Babe, where are you? I came home and I didn't find you," I heard the voice say.I recognised the voice as Grant's, bug checked the caller ID to be sure."Good morning babe. I'm at Rainer's place," I replied, trying my best to ignore the pain in my abdomen."Oh, I was a bit worried. So are you going to be back soon?" "No, I packed my clothes for work, so I'll just head to my office from here. See you later," I said and hung up.I went straight to my bag and took out the Ibuprofen bottle and popped four pills into my mouth before drinking some water.I gasped when I looked up to find Rainer staring at me."Hey, good morning. Don't you have to go to work?" I asked her."I am a contracted lawyer, I decide my own work hours. Wha

TWO WEEKS LATERGRANT"Man, you look like crap," Michael remarked as he walked into my office.I had been resting my head on my desk when I looked up at his voice and saw him and Flint. The past weeks have been nothing, but stressful, I barely got enough sleep.The stress at work was a lot. There was a lot for me to handle at GS Capital and GS Fitness. After that confession video featuring Elizabeth, I had become quite famous on social media.Everyone wanted to know more about the man who went so far for his love. Jacques Louis and I had also sealed a deal concerning GS Fitness."Not now, Michael," I groaned, holding my throbbing head."I don't get you man, you just sealed two deals you've wanted for so long. Why do you look and sound so down. You've got heavy bags under your eyes, you know?" Flint added.I groaned and finally looked at them squarely, they were genuinely concerned, but I just didn't want anyone's concern, not now when everything felt so meaningless."You know if I rea

MUNAWhen Grant said he was taking me out, I was thinking it would be a classy place, but he actually took me to a drive-in theatre.We watched a two romantic comedies and we actually had a great time. We had pizza and sodas. I was dressed in a red jacket with a white camisole on the inside. What I loved the most about the outfit Amanda picked for me was the dark blue, high-waisted jeans and white boots it was paired with.Grant had dressed to match me in the exact same colours and after taking selfies together in our car, he took to his social media accounts to post them.I watched him while I thought of my recent diagnosis from Dr Peterson. I had done the an MRI test two weeks earlier and sure enough, I had endometriosis. They had found tissues that were supposed to be in my uterus forming outside of it which explained the heavy bleeding, pain and dysmenorrhoea I had been having.When she confirmed my condition, I felt so terrible and heartbroken. I had Rainer to comfort me, but un

TWO YEARS LATER MUNA "Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome Mrs Stephens to our show!" Elisa Bloom, the host of Crafting It said as I walked up to the stage. I smiled as I took my seat across from her in front of the excited audience. Crafting It was a show where talented artists, authors, songwriters and musicians where interviewed to discuss their success stories. When I had first got the interview invitation from Mr Roberts, I had been unwilling to go for a number of reasons, but after thinking of the positive effects it would have on Rowland Galleries, I finally accepted to do the interview. "Welcome to Crafting It, Munachi Stephens, we are so delighted to have you on our show. Happy birthday, I must say you are indeed much more beautiful in person than on the tabloids. How are you doing?" "Thank you for the compliments, I'm glad to be here too, I'm very tired though, I barely had enough time to rest since I got out of the flight from Lagos to London. I still can't believe it'

GRANT Gregory did a lousy job at tying knots, so I was sure that I would be able to untie myself soon while I watched him explain the reasons for his actions. I couldn't understand why Tobi and Olivia had felt the need to betray us like that. It hurt so much seeing their lifeless body covered with bloodstains. When I got into the factory Olivia had been pointing a gun at Muna and Gregory was behind her with a gun to her head. It was clear that Olivia was the one who shot Tobi, because I saw when Gregory came in and the gunshot had already sounded before then. I just had to make sure that Gregory didn't make use of his gun again. I was sure that Michael and Flint were already on their way with the police. Flint had been right after all, Gregory was the one person whom I should have suspected the most and he turned out to be the one behind the stalking. I was correct in thinking that whoever was sending all those threats was doing it because of how cruel I used to be in the busine

GRANT No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't locate my car which Muna drove off in. I sped up and let out a groan in frustration when I was caught in traffic. How was it possible that Muna drove off so quickly? My phone rang and I sighed as I picked it up. The caller ID was blocked and I figured it was definitely the stalker on the line. "What the hell do you want? Where is Olive?" I asked as soon as I answered the call. "Relax Grant Stephens. I will give you an address and you had better get there as soon as possible or else Olive will pay the greatest price," he laughed and hung up. I punched my fist against the stirring wheel in anger. I frowned when I heard a message tone from my phone. I opened up the message and saw the address he sent. I put in the address and waited for about fifteen minutes before I was finally able to get out of traffic. I said prayers in my mind as I stepped on the accelerator and drove off to the address sent to me. As I got out of my car in fr

GRANTWe all heard a phone ring and Olivia moved a few feet away to answer the call.She returned to my side and said she had to go because her editor needed her to submit some chapters. "Keep me posted about Olive," she said and left the room."Isn't that Tobi? Why is he taking Olive away?" Rainer asked."That's Tobi, oh my God. That means that Olive is in safe hands. Let's go quickly to his apartment and get her," Muna said to me"No Babe, I need you to focus and think about this. Tobi took Olive away from here without getting permission from us, doesn't that tell you something?""What?""He abducted her for a reason," I replied.She frowned and laughed shakily, her brown eyes were filled with unshed tears. "Why would he kidnap her? This is Tobi that we are talking about," she said."Munachi, think of things clearly. Tobi left guesthouse yesterday morning on a bad note. Why do you think he covered his face when you guys were there, but then removed the mask later on? He obviously di

MUNA"Congratulations ladies, you escaped within forty minutes which makes you our fastest winners for the day. Do come back another time for a much more thrilling experience as the one you just had," an employee said after we got out of the last door."How about the little girl that was with us earlier?""What little girl?" The man frowned."A man dressed in black came into the second room and took my daughter with him. He said we could get her after the game," I replied."Your daughter left with her father, Ma'am," the man said in a disinterested tone."No, that man is not her father," Rainer said."Listen ladies, the man introduced himself as the girl's father, he even showed us an ID. Why don't you call the girl's father and confirm?"I took out my phone with shaky hands and dialled Grant's number. It wasn't going through and then I remembered Grant was working at home."Isn't he answering?" Olivia asked."No, Grant is probably holding a video conference meeting with his employees

OLIVIA When they all left to freshen up, I took out my phone and texted, "Cheese In The Trap!" I knew I was taking a huge risk, working with someone who I didn't even know to tear Munachi and Grant apart, but I had no other choice. Munachi didn't deserve Grant, I was the one standing beside him all these years and ever since she showed up again, he was no longer interested in hanging out with me. I was going to make sure that the guy didn't harm Grant in any way. I can't even believe I didn't have an idea of what the guy's name was. I came out of my thoughts when I saw Munachi and Olive walk into the room. "We are ready to go Aunt Olivia," Olive said. I smiled at the little girl, she was so pretty, it was a shame that I was going to make the both of them suffer. After I get Grant, I can become Olive's stepmum. I smiled at that conclusion and Munachi frowned, asking, "why are you smiling so much?" "I'm just so happy that you are joining me. I love challenges," I smiled. "Let's

GREGORY'S POVI woke up in my room, but I felt to tired and confused. I really needed to see a therapist, this spacing out was getting too frequent.I brushed my teeth while trying to figure out who this stalker could be. Grant Stephens was a nice person when you get to know him, though he was really cruel in the business world. When I first met Grant, I had lots of grudges and resentful feelings due to my past, but working with him all this time has actually helped me out.I took a shower and got dressed before switching on my computer. I let out a gasp at what I saw. How was this possible?★★★★★MUNA'S POV"I had already given some of Olive's clothes and personal items to the trainer's so that the service dog can get used to her scent," Grant said.We were in the reception area, awaiting the service dog and trainer for Olive's epilepsy."Dad, where's the surprise?" Olive asked, tugging on Grant's shirt sleeve."Hold on sweetie, it will be here soon," Grant replied just as some wome

TOBI'S POVI was in the kitchen making some pasta when I got a new message notification on my phone.I was going to ignore it until I was done, but when I saw the message was from a private number, I opened it up."HI FRIEND, DID MUNACHI TELL YOU SHE'S IN LAGOS WITH HER FAMILY? I FELT LIKE YOU SHOULD KNOW. NOTE: THEY ARE STAYING AT BLOSSOM GUESTHOUSE," the message read.Who the hell was sending me such a message? That didn't matter anyway, how could Muna return to Lagos and not even tell me about it. The guesthouse wasn't even too far away, so I turned off the stove, pasta abandoned, packed a suitcase and left my apartment.I got in my car and drove off to Blossom Guesthouse. There was no way I was going to miss out on a chance to mend things with Muna. Whoever sent me that text might just be my guardian angel.I had no idea who it could be. Could it be Rainer? Maybe she was doing this to get some closure.Whatever, I was surely going to see Muna and I don't give a damn if her pretty a

MUNA"Who do you want to introduce me to? Why are these huge guys following us around?" Olive asked.I turned around to look at the bodyguards Grant hired. Although, we haven't heard from the stalker in a week now, I still couldn't trust that we were completely safe and Grant was ready to do everything possible to guarantee our safety."These guys are just friends of ours that are here to make sure we are safe," Grant replied.We were going to the recreation centre to meet everyone else. I had to admit, I was a bit nervous about my Dad meeting Olive. I wouldn't want him saying or doing anything that would upset her. Grant squeezed my hand as though he could hear my thoughts."They will be fine," he whispered to me.I smiled and said to Olive, "we are going to meet your grandparents.""You mean Dad's parents?""Not just them, but your real grandfather," I smiled at her."Really? I thought he was sick, is he better now?"When Olive clocked six, she began to ask questions about her pare
