Hello,
My name is Alison but I would like you to call me Amina. I don't want to hear the name Alison ever again because i hate the memories that come with it.
Who am I?
In short, a depressed lonely girl that grew up with uncaring, strict parents, a disappeared older brother, a muslim friend, two orphan siblings and an attentionned boxing coach.
In spite of this all, I managed to find a light, a tiny little light that was Islam and when I've reached it, I couldn't do anything more but dig deeper and deeper until I changed my life forever. However what is going to happen to me is quite unbelievable.
Never have I thought that this change would bring me even more haunting memories.
Yours truly,
Amina Alison Courtney.

The Best Of Us
"Why didn't you tell me he went here?" Sabrina managed to croak out. Her throat was dry and there was a loud drumming sound in her ears which she realized was her heart. "Oh..uh...well..." Leila stuttered and then trailed off. She smiled sheepishly. "I totally forgot about Khalid." Sabrina winced when she heard his name. "How could you?" Sabrina asked, horrified. "You know I don't like him and, not to mention, that he hates my guts!" "Oh, come on! That was years ago. He probably doesn't even remember you." Leila assured, waving her hand. At that moment, Khalid Fayad turned towards them, his eyes landing on Sabrina's. Sabrina held her breath hoping - praying - that he would turn away without recognizing her. Unfortunately, he seemed to remember her all too well. From the way he smirked at her now, Sabrina just knew that her senior year at New Hope High was ruined. _______________________________________________________ A story of racism and hate, of love and acceptance. Can Sabrina overcome the hate that she is wrongly accused of. Can she forgive those who have tortured her life with bitter words and unending cruelty. Can she fight back with not hate, but good?Complete

Everyone has a secret that will hurt them or even break their family. Accidents happen when people least expect them.

Alina collided with an oncoming car, causing an accident that ended up killing her and making Aliya the culprit in front of Hamza. Revenge is the word that is in Hamza's mind and heart. He wanted her to pay for what she did to the love of his life. But what happens when secrets emerge, proving Aliya's innocence of whatever he accuses her of?

Anonymous flame
ALI KARAHAN I calculate, dismantle, and rebuild the world in my image. I was raised on violence. Trained in silence. And forged into something untouchable. People follow me because they fear the alternative. I control governments, alliances, and monsters with clean hands and a dirtier mind. No one ever sees me coming-until it's too late. Sarah Sheikh thought she was just a tool. An asset. A brilliant spy with shattered loyalties and steady hands. But she had something I needed-her access, her mind, her trauma. So I made her useful. Then I made her loyal. Now, she's mine. With logic. With war. With precision. She didn't even realize I rewrote her fate. Until it was too late. --- SARAH SHEIKH He didn't trap me. He convinced me I walked in willingly. Ali Karahan is not a man you work with. He's a force you survive. He doesn't yell. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't bleed. He moves people like chess pieces, and when he looks at you-you realize too late: you've already lost. I was trained to hate men like him. But nothing could prepare me for how deeply he played the game. He used my skill, my silence, my past-and offered nothing in return but the feeling of finally being powerful. He didn't break me. He turned me into something worse. Now I sit beside him while the empire burns. Not as his asset. Or weapon But as his equal. This isn't love. This is ownership dressed as free will. And I'm still saying yes. ● Read the story now, to explore the secrets unfolding in a world where two opposite forces clash together.....Check out Now!!! ¤ WARNING : May contain explicit violent scenes and explicit language may be used.

Frenemies with the Bad Boy
"Are you running away from me?" A playful voice made me stop in my tracks. My heart thudded in alarm, and I had to remind myself that we were in school, with multiple witnesses around us. He couldn't harm me here. I turned around with a glare, but the second I looked at his face, my courage crumbled. The memory of him threatening to snap my neck if I reported him and his crew hit me like a brick. Swallowing my fear, I met his eyes. "Weren't you the one who told me to stay away from trouble?" A crooked grin tugged at his lips and he brought his face closer. "Yeah. But looks like trouble doesn't want to stay away from you." I blinked. What? *** [muslim girl x bad boy] Bareera Omar, a.k.a Rory, thought junior year's biggest challenge would be adjusting to life and dealing with how people treated her now that she'd chosen to openly embrace her Muslim identity, and started wearing the hijab. What she didn't expect, however, was to get tangled up with Romero Allen - her school's infamous senior and the walking definition of trouble. One moment, he's bullying her. The next, he's scaring off the guys who try to mess with her. They don't consider each other friends. But calling them enemies doesn't quite fit either. Maybe they're something in between. Something along the lines of 'frenemies'. *** "So what do you want us to be? We can't be both. Either we're friends or we're enemies." "Lovers." #1 in stereotypes #1 in goodgirl #1 in badboygoodgirl #1 in hijab
