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.

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.

"why?" he asked clenching his jaw staring at me and that was enough for me to get scared , he came closer to me and holding both my hands he pushed me towards him "i am asking you something, why should i not touch you?" i looked down trying to blink away my tears scared of the fact that if he sees me crying, i dont know what will he do. "just please i cant do this" I tried to explain my voice broken and shaky "I.Am.Asking" he paused and digged his finger deeper in my arms, "WHY!!!!??" he yelled i flinched and started shaking furiously "because its haram" i said and started sobbing he left my both hands and held my face in his hand squeezing my cheeks painfully, while I trembled in his arms, "are you really that Muslim who cares about haram and halal?" i felt like he slapped me, i looked at him shocked tears pooling out of my eyes, he took a deep breath trying to calm himself "i own you amal sweetheart but since you keep saying its haram, i am going to marry you and then i will see what excuse you have, now take rest darling you are going to be my bride today" with that he threw me on the bed and left and i just sobbed over my condition and started praying to allah to save me.
