After The Gold

•Coming Soon•

Layla Fayyad has everything a girl could want, except for love.

As her thirtieth birthday looms near the pressure to find a husband mounts. Her mother's friends keep shedding tears that her youth is on the verge of expiring. It doesn't help that Layla keeps running into frog after frog with no prince in sight.

Layla soon realizes the Bollywood movies she grew up watching all lied to her. Love these days equals ghosting and situationships, and the declining value of commitment has caused relationships to last as long as Tiktok videos.

Layla's heart still yearns for a love that she grew up witnessing between her parents. The kind that is unconditional. Whose depth would put the ocean to shame. The kind that made her believe in fairytales.

And she refuses to settle for anything less.

An adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma.

#4 in The FamilyMatters series, but can be read as a standalone.
