Contracted To Her Hated CEO CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Muna was just like my favourite puzzle, I keep discovering new things about her- Grant Muna was completely focused on what she was painting. She didn't even notice Grant's entrance into the room, she would have figured it was him through his familiar cologne, but the smell of paint dominated the room.She didn't notice the gasp that fell out of Grant's mouth, she was too busy on finishing that piece.After the terrible argument she had with Grant earlier that morning, she needed to do something to take her mind off things.Painting was her escape route, with every brush and stroke on the canvas, she felt herself break free. Oil painting was a talent she had acquired a long time ago as a junior in secondary school.She had never told anyone about it except Somto. He had been the first person she ever painted. She had presented her work to him on one of his birthdays and he had praised her by calling her the next Leonardo Da Vinci.She had been foolish enough to present a portrait of he

I will do anything to remedy the damage Elizabeth and Olivia have caused for Muna and I- Grant"It changes everything for me, Moon. I am so sorry that I let Elizabeth and Olivia manipulate us like that. I will do everything to make sure that they pay for their sins," Grant promised her, leading her out of the secret room.When he saw Maria passing through the room, he placed his arm around Muna's waist as he pulled her into their bedroom, flashing a smile at Maria."You wouldn't understand because it wasn't you who was told to go and hang herself. Jackson was such a popular guy in school because he was the captain of the basketball team and the Dean's son. He had so many girls chasing after him. Everyone thought I was a two-timer, they called me names and made the remaining time in school hell for me. You can never remedy that," she said in a matter of fact tone pulling out of his arms."I know, I'm just so sorry," he moved to hug her and she pushed him away."Leave me alone, you have

MUNAI watched all the colour drain from Grant's face when he looked at the phone."Tell me what's in there?" I demanded.When Grant didn't answer, I snatched the phone from him and gasped out loud at what I saw.Four photos of Grant and Elizabeth locking lips was on the screen with the headline, "Billionaire Venture Capitalist, Grant Stephens Caught Smooching With French Business Tycoon, Jacques Louis' Wife At His Own Wedding Party!""Elizabeth has taken this too far, now I understand why she made Harper put that drug in my drink. I can't even remember kissing her," Grant said in anger."It doesn't matter if you recall the kiss happening or not. What matters is that the entire media is looking at a photo of the both of you kissing at our reception party!" I exploded."This is not my fault, you know?""It's your fault for inviting Harper and Elizabeth!" I retorted."I only did that so she could finally understand that it's over between us!""So, you admit that something was still goin

I love how forgiving Muna is. Unfortunately, she isn't so generous when I'm involved- GrantGRANTWe arrived at Harper's house and after getting out of the car, I could tell by the look on Muna's beautiful face that she wasn't ready to face Harper yet."You can stay in the car if you don't want to see her, Moon," I suggested, caressing her face."No, I am ready. I want to see Harper," she said in a low tone.I held her hand in mine as we walked up to the door."You guys have to pay me, I'm taking a big risk here by coming out and risking my zealous fans seeing me," he said with a dramatic flip of his long hair."I already told you to put on some kind of disguise. Why didn't you?" Flint frowned."I guess Harper would be moved after seeing a famous and handsome face. What do you think?" He asked, winking at Muna."If you say so then," she smiled.I knocked on the door and after a few seconds of waiting, Peter opened the door, looking much better than he did that morning."It's you again

"So what you're trying to tell is is that Jacques Louis is a drug lord?" Grant frowned."Yes, he is. To be honest, Elizabeth married him because she wanted to be in charge of the business. It's why she disappeared from university to France. She thought she would finally be free from Jacques after getting as much money from him so she could be with you instead. She has loved you since she first laid eyes on you," Harper explained."That is not love, that's a crazy obsession. She and Olivia need mental help!" Michael condemned."Calm down man, we will get to Olivia later, we just have to deal with Elizabeth now. So how do we expose this dirty business of theirs. Do you have any evidence to prove it?" Grant queried."If we did we won't be under their command. I just wish Harper and I didn't depend so much on Elizabeth. She pays all our bills," Peter said."Grant, please meet me outside," Muna said before leaving the room with Grant following behind."Are we really doing this?" "Of cours

"You can't be serious, man!" Michael yelled."I am serious," Grant countered."How is kidnapping her going to solve matters? That would only make Jacques Louis and everyone else believe what media is saying about the both of you," Muna frowned."I will kidnap her and take her to one of my family's villas. She would believe that I love her too and want us far away from everyone else. Unfortunately for her I would have my guys bug the room and lure her into confessing what she did nine years ago to Munachi, what she did at the party and also her illicit drug business," Grant explained."Wow, you really thought everything through, man. How do we prove that Harper was wrong by the way?" Flint asked."With this, they are talking now. I waited until we drove five minutes away from their house before turning it on. Apparently, they also waited to be sure we were gone before speaking," Michael said, showing them a bugging device."Really? You had that?" Flint asked turning away from looking a

GRANTIf anyone had ever told me that I'd be spending the next five days after my wedding in a borrowed car with plans of stealthily kidnapping my ex, I would have laughed right in their face.Firstly because I assumed I would never be married, secondly, because I never thought I'd have anything to do with Elizabeth again and finally because all I knew was making money, not kidnapping people.Unfortunately, I am about to do the exact thing at the moment. My informant had already told me about Elizabeth's whereabouts.In the past four days since I left Flint's, no one had heard a word from me. I had been taking my time working with Gregory, my private investigator.He had revealed how Elizabeth used her spa business as a delivery point for illicit drugs. It had taken a whole lot of spying and investigation before I found out about it.This explains why I was disguised as a delivery guy, coming to deliver skincare products in an unsuspecting spa.When I texted Elizabeth five days earlie

"You had me investigated? Why?" Elizabeth frowned.She couldn't help, but wonder how Grant found out about her business. She had always been very discreet about it.Was it Christian who ratted her out? She didn't want Grant to know about her bad side. He had always been so upright, he would never understand why she was doing such things."I had to. I figured that you were embarrassed about being a drug dealer. First you started using cocaine in little quantities when we were in secondary school and then the addiction got out of control, you involved your cousin. What I don't understand is why you suddenly vanished that year when we were together.""You aren't going to judge me?""Of course not. I love you and I'm going to stand by you. I am willing to get you the necessary help you need. I can understand that you feel totally dependent on the drugs to feel fine, but have you considered going through rehabilitation?" I asked softly."I am willing to consider it, as long as you are with

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
