Novels by Hannah Gajere

Having to work as a writing editor is the most interesting thing to ever happen to me. I never thought I’d have this happiest part of my life. My so-called marriage was going well; no drama, no problems whatsoever and I was killing at work it couldn’t be any better. “I’ll see you after work” I said to Felix “Wait. A friend of mine is having a party tonight and we’ll be going over for it” he said with a warm tone “We’ll be going shopping so I’ll come get you later on. I suggest the driver takes you to work today to make things less stressful” he said “Oh, I didn’t know that I have to work late today so I don’t think I’ll be able to attend” I said “What do you mean by that?” He asked with a bossy expression “I have to work late because I have some work to get done before the weekend starts and that’s tonight” I said with confidence “I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. I’ll come pick you up and we get whatever we have to get and we go for the party whatever work you have to do s

I froze on seeing a shadow in my room. I couldn’t breath although it was a secure house I couldn’t just pinpoint why I was that scared to my bone marrow. I gathered all the courage I have in me and shouted “WHO’S THERE?” Flipping the light switch on I saw that it was Jasper shirtless on the bed I gasped heavily out of fear and shock from his body He was so hot. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked so much like Felix. His chest down to his structured stomach that was divided into six down to his waistline and waistband. I FROZE….. I was brought back to myself by his soft voice “Oh my God. Did I scare you?” He asked softly standing up from the bed “I’m sorry. I just entered the room and I thought I could just sit in the dark to get my head straight. It’s something I always do. I’m sorry I made you scared” he said smiling obviously forgetting that he isn’t wearing a shirt “I couldn’t breathe” I giggled nervously “But why sit in the dark to get your mind in the right place. That

HUH?!” I turned in shock I was so confused. My wife was right in front of me and we were having a good time together so who would dare come right in front me and ask her for a dance. To my best knowledge she has no male friends matter of fact she has no other friend asides Claire and even if she did who DARES talk to her where I am. I could feel my blood getting hot and my eyes burning. I was ready to give whoever that person was a punch. I turned so fast to see who the voice belonged to. ‘Oh God’ I exhaled“JASPER??!!!” I was bewildered I couldn’t believe my eyes. My favorite cousin that I hadn’t seen for almost ten years was right in front of me with a smile on his face. “I missed you man” I leaned in for a big reciprocating hug “I haven’t seen you in forever” he said with his ever knowing and soft tone and a sweet smile. Jasper was my favorite cousin in his late twenties, we grew up together, he was like my brother not just my cousin. He moved to another country and we tal

I walked into an exorbitant, most beautiful ballroom filled with gorgeous art and music, the lights were breathtaking and the chandelier sitting in a warm embrace shining bright like a diamond. Perhaps it was made of diamonds? I walked into the ballroom, my red dinner gown that swept the floor, my exquisite diamond stones on the dress complimented my diamond handbag which drew so much attention and stares. Felix had earlier gotten me a set of jewelry, bag and shoes all diamonds to match my red dress. Walking side by side with my husband, my arm in his, I felt somewhat protected and safe from everything. Although it was just to showcase how ‘incredible’ our relationship was and how ‘amazing’ our marriage was going. I never for once imagined myself being in a gathering with people I see on the news and the ones I read about in articles. I felt important to be distinguished as an ‘Elite’. “You look amazing” Felix whispered into my ear I could feel the rush in my adrenaline, my face

I can’t believe I’m still having these feelings. I’ve tried so hard to erase them, I’ve tried so hard to make her hate me but it’s not working. She’s not making it easy for me. ‘Why did she have to see me in that position?’ I sighed heavily. ‘It might be for the better’ I tried to console myself Walking into my office and seeing Maya made me hate myself even more. How did I accept this girl back into my life? She only brings problems to my life. These feelings are just escalating and it’s making me sick. But I can’t fall in love ‘NO’ I screamed out loud causing a scene. I managed to boycott every question and stare that came with the scream. “What was she doing here?” A tiny voice that was supposed to sound soothing asked and I only got annoyed and pissed at the situation I found myself in. ‘What if I had just shown how much she makes me feel would we be living happily together?’ I asked myself “No that wouldn’t have happened” I said out loud again thinking it was my inside voi

A huge figure stood in front of me with a deep voice he said “Come downstairs for dinner”. I walked down the stairs to a set table for two. I managed to stop my tears and get myself together moreover, what was I expecting from a stranger and a feared one at that. Immediately, I knew that I was on my own and I had to be careful in the house. I woke up with a good feeling and as I opened the curtains, I knew it was going to be a good day. I proceeded with my breakfast, ignored my so-called husband and walked towards the front door. An almost soothing voice from behind called…“Where are you going?, don’t you think I deserve to know” “I’m going to my mom’s and I’ll be spending the day with her and my friend”I saw my mom after a few days of my wedding and we had a lot to talk about because it was a new experience to me.
