If I ever felt like I wanted to die of frustration and anger, then it meant I was arguing with Grant once again- MUNAMuna almost choked on the piece of chicken in her mouth when she heard Grant's words."What? Do you think I'm such a joke? Who do you think I am? Some idiot you can just toy with? Engagement with you? I'd rather chew off my toes first," she said angrily."Calm down, I knew you were going to react this way, but face it, there's nothing you can do. Your father's fate, that of Rowland Galleries, and yours too, they all lie in my hands. I want you as my fiancee, that is the only condition with which I will remedy the situation at the galleries. It's the only way to save everything," Grant said in an icy tone, wiping the wine from his face with a towel.Muna looked at him, trying to gauge his true emotions. She just couldn't understand why Grant would want to get engaged to her."I don't understand this? What do you stand to achieve by all this? I get it now, you're just as
The thought of getting back at Muna is very charming, but definitely not seeing her cry- Grant."I can understand that you wish it wasn't true and that Somto wasn't such a person. Even I found it difficult to believe when I found out," Grant said, lifting a hand to rest on Muna's shoulder to which she simply brushed him off."Maybe this document will convince you that I'm right," he said handing her a black envelope."What is this?" She asked, wiping away tears. So much for not crying in front of Grant anymore."Open it. It contains details of transactions Somto had with his supplier. Your brother, though very intelligent and promising was only another victim of peer pressure and mixing up with the wrong crowd. He had been severely addicted to cocaine and I'm sorry to let you know this, but—" Grant hesitated."You've ruined everything haven't you? Just go ahead and destroy the precious memories of Somto I have left.""You know very well that's not what I'm hoping to achieve.""It's se
When listing out my problems, Grant must always turn out to be linked to them all- Muna "Hello Muna, it's been a long time since I set my eyes on that beautiful luscious figure of yours. I missed your beautiful brown eyes, and pretty face," the tall man said with a flirtatious smile. "I don't need compliments from you Jackson. What the hell are you doing in my gallery?" "Oh darling, is that the tone you use for your ex-boyfriend? I must say this place looks amazing, it seems to be doing so well, isn't it?" Jackson asked. He was very tall and seemed to have started working out. He wasn't the lean and lanky Jackson from secondary school whom she had once dated for an entire term. Muna had done everything possible to avoid him since she left school. What was this about? She had absolutely no idea why the guys she hated from her past, were just showing up one after the other. She wasn't sure why, but Jackson's appearance irritated her more than Grant's did. They were both the same ma
Staring at Muna for long would only lead to irrational behaviours from me- Grant.Twelve Days Later...GRANTI was working on a proposal when I heard the phone on my desk, ringing."Mr Stephens, Ms Rowland is here to see you," Abigail said as I answered the phone."Send her up and please hold all my calls until I say otherwise, thanks.""Right away, Sir."I counted the steps necessary for Muna with her long shapely legs to get to my office and she arrived at the exact moment I expected her to.I stared at her, taking in her beautiful appearance. Today, she had her hair packed in a high bun and she wore a fitted white shirt with black pants. They flattered her shapely figure so well.She looked so elegant and just like always, when she walked into my office, I was hit with the sweet fragrance that she favoured ever since we were teens."Before you ask why I'm here, I'll tell you. I have a few questions for you," she said in her usual husky tone."Go on then, sit please. I assume you ha
Underestimating Grant's Level Of Ruthlessness Would Only Lead To Undesirable Situations Like Moving In With The Enemy- MunaMUNAI had no idea why I welcomed that kiss from Grant, but as soon as he said what he did after pulling away, I got back to my senses.I raised my hand to give him a tight slap, but he dodged before my hand could connect with his cheek."You succeeded in hitting me the other time, but not now. What I said is reasonable," he smiled."Reasonable? I'm sorry about hitting you, but trust me, you're the only one who inspires such violent behaviours from me," I almost choked on the words."That's exciting, it means I'm finally getting under your skin. Listen, what I said is reasonable, you need the money, I also need the money your father borrowed back. You need to save the three galleries and I need to secure such a genius under my company before someone else does. I must be the investor that Adewale turns to for expanding his work. We will be helping each other if yo
I'm not very sure why I asked Muna to live with me, but I couldn't possibly say there's nothing more attached to it-Muna.GRANTI watched all the colour drop from Muna's face as I said that. "Did she really think I was going to leave any loopholes in our pretend relationship?" I thought to myself as I studied her."What nonsense? How dare you make decisions for me just like that? Who the hell do you think you are? Why would you move my things to your place without my consent?" She queried, nose flaring in anger."Calm down, my dear, we are supposed to be a loving couple now. I know about the fact that your rent has been due for a while now. I'm sure with what's happening to precious Daddy, you don't have the necessary funds to pay up your rent, so I'm doing you a favour. You can stay at my house, it's big enough," I replied, smiling.She let out a scoff before saying, "I don't care about how big your house is, but there's no way that I'm going to live with you. I don't trust you one b
I guess nothing can prepare me for Grant's fury. Picking a fight with him will only result in me getting hurt anyway- MunaMUNAI woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar room. The pink walls and lilac coloured bedsheets was something I definitely disapproved of. Grant knew that I wasn't the girly type who favoured pink or purple, so I'm sure he designed this room this way just to piss me off, which he clearly succeeded at.Every single item was either in pink or purple. I touched my head, trying to remember what exactly happened yesterday.I remembered the terrible migraine that gave me signals while I was talking with Mr Flint and Mr Moore. I had always suffered from migraines, ranging from mild to terrible ones. Yesterday's episode fell under the category of the latter, it started about a year ago. I had an episode at least twice every month.Yesterday was the worst so far, I had felt as though drumsticks were being used on my head. I know I was at the office lying on Grant's co
Throughout the entire ride to Rowland Galleries, Muna ignored Grant who sat beside her, frowning for some reason unknown to her. It was a huge surprise to see him hop out of the car as soon as they arrived in front of the gallery. He quickly moved around to her side and pulled the car door open for her. She frowned, wondering why he had to do that, but soon realised his reason when she saw a curator from the gallery watching them. Placing his hand at her lower back, he took her purse in his hand before kissing her briefly on the lips. Muna stared at him, totally confused by the sudden kiss and big smile plastered on Grant's face. His dimples were on display, making him look even more handsome. He had gone for a charcoal grey suit which seemed as though it was sewn right on his body. He looked every bit like an intimidating billionaire which he was. Seeing how confused she looked, he explained, "It's time to put your acting skills to use. This is our first official public outing a
