Contracted To Her Hated CEO CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Leave it to Muna to pull of a neat disappearing act- Grant.GRANT "What do you mean by setting our wedding on my birthday?" Muna queried when we got back to my house after the party."What else could I possibly mean? I hope you haven't forgotten that I call all the shots here," I warned her, pouring myself some whiskey."I haven't forgotten, but still-""Shhh, let me remind you again because it seems as though you've forgotten. Your father is sick and has a history of tax evasion, I have all the evidence against him. If I just let out word about his crime, he's going to jail and I'm sure you wouldn't want that, now would you?" I threatened her.She gasped in disbelief that I could actually do that. The look in her brown eyes showed how scared she was and I almost felt bad that she was afraid of me."I wanted to ask you something," she said avoiding my eyes."What is it?" I queried, taking a gulp of the drink."Why did you do that earlier? I mean, why did you have to endanger yourself

Grant might just have a human conscience after all- Muna.MUNA'S POVI got out of the flight from Nigeria back to London feeling extremely tired and took a cab straight to Grant's house. It was kind of a long flight so when I got there, I took a nap in my room after greeting Maria and Joseph Bethany.I woke up to a migraine and severe cramps in my abdomen and lower back. They had become kind of a regular routine for me for a while now. The migraines were always worse whenever I had my period. It was expected to come up tomorrow, so I guess that explained the severe migraine.I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After brushing up, I slowly moved to the closet to change into comfortable sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt.The pain got worse and so I went over to the bed to rest for a while. I guess I must have slept off once again because I opened my eyes to see Grant standing in front of me, where I lay in bed."Why didn't you tell me you were traveling to Nigeria for a week?

GRANTI woke up to Muna's voice which sounded like she was annoyed.I had no idea how I had fallen asleep, but I did anyway. What I wasn't sure of was her reason for being so upset."What the hell are you doing in my bed?" I finally heard her ask."Don't you remember what happened? You allowed me to stay here yesterday," I replied, wiping my tired eyes.I got very little sleep yesterday because I had been watching her almost all night long."That's impossible, get out of my room this instant!" She yelled."What's wrong with you? Why are you acting this way? I took care of you throughout the time you were having cramps.""Let me be, Grant, I don't need you confusing me about your true intentions," she said brushing her hair back in frustration.She looked so young this morning and fragile. It was then that I noticed she had lost a little bit weight.I came closer to her and held her by the shoulders, trying to ignore how the nightgown she had on was showing of her beautiful curves."I'

MUNA Seeing Grant's possessive side makes me wish it wasn't just all about his pride and instead about his feelings for me- Muna "I didn't expect Tobi to do that. We were at a fundraiser for his mother's charity foundation and he told me he had a disagreement with Rainer. I was only comforting him when all of a sudden, he kissed me. You must know that Tobi is from a wealthy and influential family. Everything he does gets caught on camera," I explained. Grant watched me for seconds without saying anything. It was as though he was trying to check if I was telling the truth or not. "Why would he do that?" He queried. "I have no idea either. He said he had and Rainer had this huge fight because he couldn't deny his feelings for me anymore. I honestly wasn't expecting that from him. They were both so great together." "Definitely not great enough for him to keep his eyes off you. So how do you feel about his confession? Do you love him too?" He asked with a dark expression on his face.

GRANTThese lies between Muna and I have a weird way of seeming real to me and I have no idea why- Grant.I wasn't sure why I felt the need to kiss Muna like that. I just knew that after seeing several photos of her kids with that annoying friend of hers, Tobi, I was moved to show her that she was mine.I confirmed that she felt that electrifying attraction to me just like I did with her. At first she tried to remain unresponsive to my kiss, but she eventually relaxed into it. Unfortunately, my parents whom I love all the time, but definitely not now for interrupting my moment with Muna came in. Muna practically leaped out of arms when she heard them cough. I looked to see the excited face my parents and Olivia who looked totally displeased by the sight of Muna and I kissing."Mum, Dad, Olivia, what are you guys doing here? You just ruined the mood," I frowned, making my displeasure at seeing them obvious."Get over it Son, I'd say we couldn't have picked a better time. Who knows wh

MUNA "Please hold on a second Muna, I'm afraid I might not be able to follow you guys into the showroom. There's been an issue at Sarah's Delights. My assistant just told me there's been a power outage at the factory. It's not good news, I need to rush over there now. Olivia will be here with you," Sarah said after coming off the phone. As soon as she said that I felt uncomfortable about being alone with Olivia, I wasn't sure why, but there's something about her that I don't like. The ride to the showroom was quite long. Olivia had made it seem as though it was somewhere close, but it was quite a distance getting there. The traffic on the way contributed to us getting there later in the afternoon. "Okay Mum, it's fine," I forced a smile. "Don't be too sad, Grant would have come with us, but as they say, it's bad luck for the bride to be seen in her wedding dress by the groom before the wedding," Sarah said softly. "There's no problem, this friend of mine has the best designs of w

MUNAAll the way back to Grant's house, my mind kept going back to what Olivia said. Who could Elizabeth be and why do I have to find out who she is before getting married to Grant?All my efforts to make Olivia talk about her were fruitless as she remained silent throughout the ride and only started talking when I asked her about how she came up with her interesting stories.We talked at length and I began to change my previous opinion of her."I have to get to the publishing house, it was nice spending time with you today," Olivia said after we both got out of the car."I also had a good time too, thanks a bunch for the dresses," I smiled at her."It's fine. Trust me, I did it more for my own peace of mind," she laughed."If you say so then, aren't you going to come in for a bit? Grant and Dad must be back from their shopping.""No, I need to get to the publishing house to see my editor. I'm not too keen on seeing so much of Grant for now. Especially after I made a huge fool of myse

GRANTTaking a deep breath and thinking about things, I keep realising how much more difficult it is to avoid the obvious feelings Muna evokes in me- GrantLater today, was our wedding rehearsal dinner, which implied that Muna was going to be my wife tomorrow.I wasn't sure why I felt a flutter in my chest whenever I thought of that, but I did anyway.We barely spoke to each other since that morning when she asked me about Elizabeth. Why Olivia mentioned her is what I couldn't understand.Elizabeth meant nothing, but an old flame to me. The only reason why we got in touch after she returned from France was because of her wealthy French husband, Jacques Louis.The man was an important potential investor for my other company, GS Fitness. Jacques was a fifty year old billionaire with more money than he knew what to do with.He was always investing in one business or the other. Being a fitness freak himself, he had made it very obvious that he was interested in funding GS Fitness.My comp

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
