All Chapters of SHE’S MINE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

When her body crushed into his, he felt the hard knot of frustration and tension in his gut release. The ups and downs that came with being a businessman were sometimes too hard to bear but with Jeanine around, she gave him hope that everything would be just fine, he didn’t have to worry too much. He received a call earlier in the day, asking him to host a soirée for some business expatriates coming into the country the next day. It was a big deal, an opportunity to pitch business ideas to business owners from other countries thereby expanding his company.Last minute, he decided to stop by her school to pick her up. He didn’t need her or her services at the moment but he was her boss and he could make her do whatever he liked and he didn’t mind some company. He was fascinated by the simplicity of her life. All she wanted was to be financially stable while as a child, he was raised to take over a multimillion dollar company and lead thousands of people. He liked her world so muc

A couple of days had passed since she accompanied Aiden to Ray.co. She played the role of a supportive wife by sorting out the drinks, food and decor for the soirée. It wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be, she had to find diverse meal options as people from all over the world were coming. The fun part was seeing Aiden everyday. Their conversations were mostly about work but she loved to hear him speak. She found it strange that she was turned on by him merely addressing his workers or giving them orders, he was so manly, a man that could take charge of any situation. One afternoon, there was a mistake in a shipment for a client and an argument began. Aiden quickly jumped in and diffused the situation, he handled it with so much professionalism and confidence. Jeanine impulsively whispered “that’s my husband” to the receptionist. Of course the receptionist knew they were married but Jeanine had gotten so excited and proud that it almost sounded real in her own ears that Aid

The Braithwaite’s home was a castle. She watched in awe as the large iron gates opened up for Aiden to drive in. There was a huge water fountain in the middle of the compound, she had never see one as magical as it was. There was a beautiful gazebo at the east side of the compound and although she didn’t have a clearer view of it, she knew if she had one in her house, she’d spend most of her time there. Fairy lights were hung around the wooden framework which reminded her of a princess magical story. She had always thought that Aiden’s home was luxurious, it had face recognition doors and antique designs that were no longer being made but this house right here was made of dreams and everything a woman could wish for.She imagined living in a white picket fence with her family if she got married but scratch that, it was too basic. This was the kind of home she wanted to raise children in. “This is so beautiful” she gasped as he pulled into the drivewayThere were a fleet of

In thirty minutes, Jeanine had learnt that Layla was a medical doctor married with two children, Valerie was a model and sport enthusiast and Portia was in college just like her and she was studying communications. Stephen and Cindy were five and they were homeschooled.All she feared would go wrong had gone wrong, it didn’t seem like Grace Braithwaite was happy about her kissing their son in their driveway. She would have probably broken down if Aiden didn’t hold her hands and reassured her that everything was okay. His touch and words had magic in them, if he said everything was going to be fine then it was, she had seen this man work and diffuse the situation effortlessly so if things went totally south with his family, he would know how to fix it. “These are for you” she managed to say and then handed the flowers over to Grace with shaky hands A chef took the fruit basket to the kitchen. She watched Grace’s eyes lit up as she smiled. It was the first time Grace smiled a

“How are you so good with children?” Valerie asked with wide eyesThe twins finally went to bed after thirty minutes of playing hide and seek. Jeanine was exhausted but happy to be around Aiden’s family. As someone who came from a small home, she always loved the comfort that came from having other people around. “I volunteer at an orphanage” she smiled proudly. “The children are a blessing, if I could, I’ll adopt everyone of them” “I’m glad you came into my brother’s life” Valerie sighed and then closed the door quietly to avoid waking the children “I’ve never seen him this happy in a while. He looks so relaxed and less uptight”Jeanine felt a leap in her heart. She wasn’t sure if that was a sincere compliment. Certainly, she couldn’t be the reason Auden Braithwaite wasn’t his usual self. Maybe, he was seeing someone she didn’t know or maybe he was just glad to take over the role he had prepared all his life for. “You know, he’s never brought a girl home. He mu
