Layla has always been incredibly hard working; perfect grades, perfect manners. Perfect life. 

That is until she found herself living alone, broke and in risk of deportation. 

She envies Adam, who has always had everything she ever wanted, while barely doing anything at all. 

And it doesn't help that he promised to make her life a living hell. 

But when Adam and Layla's path cross one night, the right place at the right time, they find themselves making a deal they never thought they'd be striking with one another, knowing that both their lives will never be the same again. 

Layla doubts her sanity, and so does everyone else, for she was as close as she can get to making a deal with a devil.

Layla by artemis_ss

I'm Layla, Layla Benson. The human form of average being. Nothing special to discover. My life seems as normal as I do. Three Best friend's. Two close cousins. One big family. But as the number of normality falls, my lives double. Just like my attraction for two guys who enter my world in the most different states. Aiden Kings is sweet, gentle and fits the stereotypical life of mine. We also share a secret together that makes us a good team. But Ethan Preston is dangerous, impulsive and fire itself. His presence flips my doll house visual over but makes him an even better partner in crime. As they enter my life, change comes along and pushes me over the cliff that I have been climbing on since I can think. But in fact, I have something special to uncover. A perfect mission with a different truth. Perfectly different. ~Artemis

The Unknown Truth by Salwa786

10 years ago "I would never forgive you for what you have done to me today. It's perfectly fine to be a loner than have someone like you by my side. I never imagined in my worse nightmares that you would do this to me." "Look Layla I can explain." Fatima tries to justify her actions. "No there is nothing that you can justify. Especially when my parents already kicked me out of the house without even listening to me. They believed you over me. Listen to me I will never forgive you ever." ___________________________________ Layla was an innocent girl who never thinks wrong for others. She is sweet and kind but something happens which changes her life and she never ever looks back again. She stops trusting people and has nobody to share her sorrows with until she meets Azaan Ahmed and starts trusting him again but she remains scared that one day he will also break her trust. ⚠️ I am not perfect and I will have grammar errors so please bare with me I'm sorry in advance. Start : July 2022 Ended: April 2023

Fix me (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016 by Ronymacaronni

Highest ranking, #1 in spiritual ( 10/7/2016 ) until ( 5/ 9/ 2016 ). How can you fix something that's already been broken, several times? I am damaged, used and repulsive... I am nothing, just simply unfixable. Or at least that's what people told me. I've kept to myself for a long time now until I met someone who is just as unfixable as me. I am Layla and this is my story. * Layla Joseph and Adam Hayek cross paths at the most unexpected time. They make a deal, they decide to get married for their own selfish reasons. Put two strangers in one house and see what happens... one of them is a first class bipolar asshole who has no faith left, while the other one is a sweet, fragile girl with baggage in the form of a little angel, who happens to be strengthening her faith. Both are broken... unfixable they say and both have a past that haunts them. A marriage of convenience is what they had in mind... But will there be more or will they let their pasts get in the middle and drive them away from each other, leaving them yet again unfixable? ******* Romance/Spiritual Warning! This book will most probably contain mature language at some point. This book is not meant to be preaching about islam, rather its a book about characters who happen to be muslims struggling with their faith and life. It's a FICTIONAL book, my imagination did the work for me. Anything else could be a coincidence. I DONT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS USED IN THIS BOOK. I'm not a perfect Muslimah and this book isn't a perfect Islamic book either. Please have an open mind when you read this book. Thank you.

The Billionaire's Final Victim | ✓ by NamjoonBieber

"I hope you realize you made the worst f**king decision of your life." She could feel his cold icy blue eyes piercing through her soul. "I didn't ask for this..." tears threatened to fall from her eyes, her lips quivering in fear. His grip on both her wrists become tighter as he slams them hard against the wall, trapping her petite body in-between the wall and his body, "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone my heart, do you understand?" She winces from the pain from her wrists. He slams her arms against the wall again. He leans in close enough to the point where their lips are only inches apart, "I said, do you f**king understand, foolish girl?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw in an impatient manner. She nods in hopes that he'll let go. And just like that, he lets go of her as she falls to the floor in utter defeat. What have I done... she asks herself. **Full Summary Inside** Cover by: Me, Myself, and I!
