CHAPTER ONE
MUNAI woke up with a throbbing pain in my head and neck. Trying to come to terms with the events of last night, I found that too challenging and so I left my bed to the bathroom on shaky legs.While brushing my teeth, I finally remembered what happened last night. I was at a friend's party. I'm not a huge drinker, but after the huge argument I had with my Dad yesterday, I just needed to ease of some stress.While trying to remember how I got back home last night, my phone starts ringing. Letting out a groan after seeing that the caller ID was that of my father's secretary, Will Robert, I answer the call."What is it this time? I've told you, I want nothing to do with the galleries. I'm perfectly happy as I am!" I yelled."Muna, I called to inform you of your father's present medical condition," Mr Robert said in a quiet voice."What do you mean? What's wrong with the old man this time?" I queried, trying to sound uncaring, but there was still a hint of fear in my tone.My Dad once su

CHAPTER TWO
GRANT"Mr Stephens, there's a Ms Rowland here to see you, but she doesn't have an appointment," my secretary, Abigail Grey informed me.I smiled in eager anticipation, I knew that it wouldn't be long before the beautiful queen of the Rowland family came to see me.Looking at the profile of Rowland Galleries, I smiled. They were neck-deep in debts and my company was their biggest creditor. No wonder the beautiful Muna was here to see me. I'm sure she had finally come to terms with the fact that I had the future of her family in my hands.She was the last person I ever expected to see again after what happened between us in high school. When I finally honoured my father's request to come back to London and assume the position of CEO of GS Capital, I was surprised to discover how much the Rowlands were owing us."Don't let her in since she doesn't have an appointment," I instructed Abigail in a stern voice."Okay Sir," Abigail replied and ended the call.As much as I wanted to see Muna a

CHAPTER THREE
MUNAWhen I arrived at GS Capital in my black sports car, I was impressed at how beautiful and huge the building was. Of course, it definitely was expected of a venture capitalist like Gary Stephens, apparently, he was the CEO of GS Capital and at the moment, the man my father owed millions of dollars to.I wondered exactly why I was doing this once again as I walked into the building. Was it to gain some sort of recognition from my Dad when he finally woke up?Anyways, it doesn't even matter, if my father was going to be arrested, he'd probably die in prison because of his bad health. I couldn't possibly watch that happen, so I had to do something.Reaching the reception, I asked for Mr Stephens and was directed to the fifteenth floor, which was the office of his secretary.Getting into his secretary's office, I was made to wait while she announced my presence. The secretary was naturally blonde and beautiful, she had lots of makeup on and seemed nervous while speaking on the phone

CHAPTER FOUR
GRANTWhen Muna told me that she had plans of taking over the position of director of Rowland Galleries, I was really surprised.I know Muna and from what I remember about her, she's not the type who'd want to do be in charge of a company.She must have really changed over the years. I could see the determination on her face. I tried my best not to laugh at that admission of hers."Okay, you think you've got what it takes to lead the Rowland Galleries back to it's feet again? Don't worry your beautiful self, okay? I'm sure with all the reconstruction you've done to your body, you're too fragile for the job," I said, eyeing her perfectly proportional body.Muna used to be famous for being very slim in high school. She was the leader of the cheerleading squad which made her even more popular back then.Slim and graceful was what she was called, but the person who sat in front of me now bore no resemblance to her.She had a curvy body now, but still managed to look a bit slim and was I w

CHAPTER FIVE
MUNA"How dare you bring that up? We both know that I was set up that night." I replied in anger."Set up? Don't give me that nonsense once again. I thought that since we've become adults you'd finally come to terms with what happened that night and stop lying," Grant frowned."I don't want to talk about this. Not anymore, you don't believe what I have to say as regards the matter and the same goes for me, so let's just leave that issue aside. I want to assume the position of Director of Rowland Galleries. No, let me rephrase that, I'm now the director of Rowland Galleries."Grant stood watching me for a while with a weird look before he said, "I'm expected to attend a meeting in the next fifteen minutes, so I'll get straight to the point. I have a proposition for you, but it's not something we can talk about here. So meet me at this address at 6 pm. You may leave my office now.""I'd rather meet with you here tomorrow instead. I don't trust anymore meetings with you anywhere asides a

CHAPTER SIX
GRANTAn hour after Muna left, I had just returned to my office after the meeting when my phone's ringtone went off. It was Mum again, she called at least twice daily and I wasn't in the mood to talk to her, but I just answered anyway."Hello Mum. How's the vacation going?""It's great, Grant. How's work dear? I'm sorry that your Dad dumped all the work on you like that. You should have had some time to rest after coming back to the city," Mum's chirpy voice made me smile.I could imagine how she was lounging by the pool with a romance novel and Dad beside her. Mum loved relaxing, just a bit too much."It's fine, I made that choice myself.""A good choice I can say, your Dad told me that you've earned double of the highest profit the company has ever made. We're so proud of you, Grant.""Thanks Mum.""Well, I'm sure you know that's not the main reason why I called. Have you finally got the courage to confess your feelings for Olivia? I have an idea for how you can do that," she laughe

CHAPTER SEVEN
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

CHAPTER EIGHT
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

CHAPTER NINE
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

CHAPTER TEN
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
