MUNAI let out a sigh as I made my way into the elevator. The past few days had been crazy, I had no idea that I would get married and then have absolutely no idea about the whereabouts of my husband.I had expected Grant to at least call or text me concerning updates about his plans, but he didn't and neither did he with his best friends."Are you alright?" Rainer asked me.I almost forgot she was right by my side all this while. My father regained consciousness after more than a month in coma two days ago. We were currently in an elevator to get up to the floor where he was admitted.When I got the news from Dr Raymond, I had no idea how to react to it. Sure, I had been praying for his successful recovery since I heard about his surgery, but now, I was faced with the reality of the situation."I am fine," I sighed again."You don't look fine. What's the matter? Aren't you excited to meet your father?"When I visited his room two days ago, he was asleep, same as the previous day, but
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
