Having to constantly move because it didn't satisfy your parents costs or the schools weren't good enough.

The lights were booming, the city was alive, and the nights were passionate in good old Las Vegas Nevada! Sin city they called it, where men and women across the globe came to indulge in a fiery exciting night, making memories that would last forever. It was ironic though, a Muslim woman living in the city of sin, drugs, and evil. It might've seemed impossible, but Amina Ali would prove to everyone that she was capable of being herself without submitting to the toxic culture around her. The year was 1996, and Amina worked as a police officer with her husband Kai and friend Jack as her partners. Amina was disowned by her family for choosing a dangerous career, and by marrying Kai. The Diamond of Versailles, a world renowned tourist attraction was stolen and Kai knew exactly who to blame. Leonardo De Luca, heir to Sicilian mafia was known to be a ruthless man just like his father Salvatore. He was on a quest, to find the Diamond of Versailles before the dirty LVPD could. Both Amina and Leonardo meet under mysterious circumstances, and Leo falls in love. Although, Mina is already married and committed to her husband. After months of pain, Amina and Leonardo couldn't take it anymore. Maybe Leonardo would be Amina's light in the darkness. And maybe Amina would be Leonardo's Diamond. The "Devil" fell in love with the "Angel."

The Analyst's Nightmare (Mission Impossible 4) by FroggieShroom4

"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...

I only own my OC's.* *I also don't own any of the pictures (including the cover image) in this story, I found them all on Pinterest.*
