GRANT"Why would I kiss Elizabeth? I don't understand, is this some sort of joke?" I frowned in confusion."I think that you are the one taking me as a joke. You went missing at some point during the reception. I went up and found you in her arms. The both of you were kissing passionately.""That's what this is all about? I thought I—""You thought you what? Tried to rape me? That too with Elizabeth in mind? Yes, you also did that," she said, folding her arms."I apologise sincerely for treating you that way last night. You just have to understand that I wasn't myself, I didn't know what I was doing and Elizabeth probably took advantage of the fact. You know me, I'm not like that," I tried to reason with her."Honestly, I don't know you, Grant. You are the same Grant who set me up in that room with Jackson. I woke up and found myself in my undergarments. I was totally confused, but you were so unreasonable, you assumed the worst of me. I didn't have an idea of what had happened, but y
I'm so glad that Muna was right nine years ago- GrantGRANTWhat the hell? Harper was the one who spiked my drink? Why would she even do that?We hadn't met since we graduated only for her to show up at my wedding party and ruin everything that way? I was sure that Elizabeth had something to do with this, only for me to realise that it was her sister instead.Wait a minute Harper Marks and Elizabeth Marks were cousins. Harper and I were absolutely nothing but classmates, so she definitely had no problem with me personally. What if she spiked my drink according to Elizabeth's instructions?Harper was Muna's best friend back in school, so how could she embarrass her friend's husband like that?I needed answers and I knew the only way of getting them was by digging up dirt on Harper. There had to be a reason why she spiked my drink. What if it had something to do with what happened nine years ago?"Chris, I need you to follow up on Harper. Make sure you know what she's up to. I want ever
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
