Layla was known as the ugly duckling and the charity case to the elite of Grandton. Old money always looked down upon those that didn't fit into their society. The city of Grandton was no different.
Layla did not belong among this society, she was an illegitimate child. A bastard for lack of a better term. Her mother had skipped town twenty-two years ago and never looked back. Her mother had left her on her grandmother's porch a week after she was born, never to be seen or heard from again.
So, Layla was raised by her grandparents. Cherished and loved in her household, she never knew of hate; never felt heartbreak. She was a flower amongst weeds until she was cut down right at the root, until her world was turned upside down, until she decided to take charge of her life.

Ollie had the looks that could afford him any girl. He had nerves of still and the hunger for more, so much more out of life. Friends are always good to have, but what if your best friend sets you up with his drop dead gorgeous sister? He knew. Oliver knew she was too hot and too naughty to resist. The fear of being blown off by her made him want her even more. She knew he was dangerous but so we're her brothers. It was the perfect storm, for he was her kind of man, a very dangerous man. Everything about their love triangle said danger but no one wanted to back out while they still could. Deena stayed with him, for his was her wedded husband. But so did Nancy, for he was hers to win over. What both women did not realise was there was another secret competitor. There was the beautiful and extrovert Linda, Deena's younger sister also lacking in the shadows. She was after him and nothing would stop her from pursuing him. You see, what these three women failed to realise was Ollie was happy to love them, to protect them and to provide for them all. This was the life he had glamorised as a child in his native village, back in Zambani, Africa.

I'm in love with him but he's in love with my younger sister and has made that painfully clear to me. "Who are you in love with?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm in love with Isabella, your sister. She's the only woman I truly care about," he admits, revealing his feelings for my younger sister after we had just gotten married, it hasn't even been twenty-four hours. "I'll fulfill my role as your husband, but don't expect any love or affection. This marriage is just an agreement between our families, nothing more. Do you understand?"

When It Is Forbidden
Imagine having so many rules you have to follow, it's hard to keep track of. Imagine being ranked lower than a dog in society. This is what life is like for 15-year-old Layla who live in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban. Join her on her struggles through life and be with her when she goes through her fight for freedom. Can she find a scrap of love in this new and hateful world? WARNING: There is controversial material in this that I had not intended when I wrote this at a very young age. Since then, I have learned more on the subjects and hope that one day I'll be able to re-edit this and change those conflicts. I am eternally sorry if I offend you in this story. It was not intentional. NOTE: I wrote this story in 2011. It's kind of my baby because it was the first time I was ever excited about writing a real story. It's not exactly in the greatest condition. I hope to edit it at some point! ALSO, I tried my best with the facts and the Afghan and Muslim culture. Seeing as I am neither of these, it is impossible for me to represent them perfectly. If anyone has suggestions or tips, they would be much appreciated!Complete
