"Jamiliah! Come back and -"
"You know what? No. And it's Jamie. Don't call me Jamiliah ever again. I'm done here." And with that, I left. Not allowing my mother to have the final say.
"I'm done here." I whispered again, my heart drumming in my chest.
Although I knew deep down she had probably yelled at me to come back or stormed after me but in my head, I had the last say and it felt refreshing to say the least.
I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. I just followed my gut - and my gut was telling me to just get away from this place as fast as possible.
That was when I was 18.
-
It's been four years since Jamiliah has seen her parents or her family. But now, looking back at the past she realises that she should reconcile with her family. Living on her own and trying to make a life for herself, Jamiliah has struggled with all sorts.
What happens when her past comes back to haunt her?
Will her family accept the new her? Will they take her back?
This book is open to read for all! :)
WARNING: The main girl in the story is Muslim and the story includes Islam however, it is NOT a perfect representation nor is this a story about what Islam is about. Islam is perfect whereas it's believers are not. I hope you understand.
Enjoy.

Fix me (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016
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.Complete

What will happen to her? Oh and did I say that her sister is the one and only Ariana grande !! (First book) IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!! Hello lovey people of wattpad <3 Okay so there is a lot of of spelling and grammar mistakes so please bare that in mind. I don't remember that much of this book as I made it many years ago but in my opinion my plots are alright but a little fast paced and a short book (I enjoy reading books with 100+ chapters so yes I know this is short). One thing to keep in mind is I was very depressed so at times this book is sad and has caused people to cry, in a way I think this has brought people closer to the charters. Just to say I will be rewriting this book in the future! I will make it longer, make the plots better and add new ones. I will be keeping the bigger parts like the ending but rewrite them, pull them out a little longer and just make them, well, better. When I do this I will upload a new chapter at the end of this book with an intro/maybe a first chapter. Thank you so so so much for all love and support! I love each and everyone of you you very much. All comments are read by me. Any advice etc I really do appreciate. If you would like me to give one of your books a try just leave a comment on the end chapter of this book. thank you so much!hope you enjoy!!!Complete
The Presidential Throne
The choices we make in life often come down to good or bad. Sometimes, though, we don't even get to make those choices ourselves. Looking back on every bad memory I can still recall, every pain I've endured that still feels etched into my flesh, I've come to learn one thing: faith. Faith taught me to survive-for my own sake and my own good. The one thing I feared most was losing my parents. Just the thought of it used to break my heart. I grew up living what many would call "the perfect life." At times, I thought I couldn't survive any life other than the one I had with my beloved parents. They were the two people I grew up loving deeply, without anyone else ever taking their place. Being the daughter of two well-known figures in our country was exciting and full of joy. But the idea that one day I might leave them behind-whether through marriage or other life changes-haunted me. It felt like losing a part of myself. Yet, looking back at everything I've been through, I realize that if those events hadn't happened, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This story is one of revenge, romance, love, hatred, and politics-a reflection of the struggles within our beloved country. Set in the fictional land of Wenturia, this tale will take you on an emotional journey. Check it out, and I promise you won't regret it! The complete novel is available on OkadaBooks! #AnEnglishAndHausaNovel! Written by Fatima Lawan (Tyetyelorh)Complete

The Distance Between Us
Fatima has been through everything-from a failed marriage to a crippling lack of confidence. She thought she had all the time in the world to figure out her feelings for Mustapha Ibrahim. But when things became too real, too overwhelming, she chose distance over confrontation. Now, time is no longer a luxury-Mustapha is sick, and the man who once seemed invincible is slipping away. Once celebrated as one of Nigeria's brightest young architects, Mustapha built his career with unwavering confidence. He had it all-success, admiration, and the quiet hope that Fatima would one day be his. But life had other plans. His diagnosis changed everything, stripping him of control and forcing him to confront a future he never envisioned. Now, with fate pressing down on them, Fatima returns-determined to make amends and hold onto whatever is left of him. But Mustapha has already let go. He refuses to tether her to a love that may not last, to a future that might end before it truly begins. Yet, despite the walls he builds, Fatima refuses to walk away again. As emotions unravel and the weight of unspoken words hangs between them, they must face the truth-love alone cannot change fate, but it can redefine the moments they have left. A heart-wrenching story of love, regret, and the battle between holding on and letting go. This is "The Distance Between Us"

Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags. They hold the essence of what awaits you here... with a little something extra, like a cherry on top. Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.
