The Rich Life

authors note :)

⚠️: This story contains themes of Honour violence, sexual assault, murder, homophobia, and attempted assault,

heyy

okay so to sum it up the story should be for mature because it implies sex or whatever. i heard wattpad was banning stories for saying the word d*ck or c*ck or whatever so i've had to make the scenes mild ughh. i don't know how it works but if someone tells me that they're not blacklisting i will literally ramp up the mia khalifa in the scenes. also this story doesn't reflect my personal views, just many views i've come across with some pakistanis (i'm half)

there's also a lot of talk about religion and culture too. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS. if it comes off like i intentionally paint islam or any religion in a negative light i genuinely don't mean it. it's lightly touched upon in some areas and to show how people who mix culture and religion damage others. i know personally how a strict parents so-called love can really fuck you up, it hurts so i touch briefly on that too.

anyways this is is dedicated to my asshole friend i love her really but after she brutalised the hell outta my first story she inspired me to write a better one

also to all of you americans the british speak is gonna be a real ick so just try not to visualise it too much. when writing this i forgot how americans spoke like i didn't watch disney channel for nothing  so yeah i realised half of them sound hella british:(

the main characters were brought up as a muslim but they do not practice. there's also a lot of urdu/arabic speak and i'm sorry if i butchered the translations or spelling whatever i thought it would be cool to add it and the mention of bollywood movies. amara has a lot of internalised misogyny vibes because she was raised like that for a long time to hate her own gender and yeah. plus meena's story is sorta based on my own so yay fun times (not)

i was inspired by a lot of stories too so i'll mention them if you wanna know lol.

also i'm sorry if i catfishes you on tiktok i spent hella time on this and yeah 🥲💔

the first chapters are hella short because the characters aren't thinking about anything, then after chapter 18 they got longer to show they're thinking about their feelings and actions (thats just my excuse of saying i wrote the first few chapters when i was like 12 and i developed the rest of the story after i logged in to read my shitty draft fanfics (for example shrek x snape)  and it explains my username lmaoo). the first few chapters make me wanna throw up from how awful it is but i can't think of ways to rewrite them. I think i'm hella inconsistent with the chapters too eek. i was immature when i wrote half of this.

i'm uploading bit by bit and i'm pretty sure i'm going to take down the story at random points to edit it. i was planning to release it all at once but yk i constantly am so uninspired

i rlly need help making a new cover so if someone could give some ideas i'll be really grateful bby.

anyways have fun reading my first story and vote if you like it :)
