Rukayya Bibi Hussain is a hard working and stubborn Indian who longs for her homeland and often questions what she is doing on the tip of Africa. At thirty five, her daughter Sadia is struggling to reconcile her South African and Indian identities, while Sadia's own daughter, eleven year old Aadila, is a girl who has some difficult questions of her own. Is her mother lying to her about her father's death? Why won't she tell her what really happened?

Gradually, the past merges with the present as we unfold what happens through their lives, uncovering the secrets people keep, the words they swallow and the emotions they elect to mute. For this family, the scent of tragedy is always threatening. Eventually it will bring this family together. If not, it will tear them apart.

Previously known as: I'll never forgive you Maryam Junaid, a pious, confident young Muslimah who lost her parents in a fire at the age of ten. As the little girl wandered the dangerous streets of New York, she was kidnapped and somehow ended up in the foster home of the Mehmoods. At the young age of 12, she had already gone through a lot. Abuse, harassment, humiliation, you name it. Life was tough but things took a turn for the better when the sweet Saleh couple stumbled upon her. Liking Maryam's sensibility and piety, they ask for her hand in marriage for their only son; Abdullah Saleh. Knowing that it was the only way out of her misery, she gladly accepted and despite her foster family's disapproval, started her life as the Saleh family's daughter-in-law and the wife of Abdullah Saleh, a stranger. Abdullah Saleh, the famous workaholic, charming, young CEO of Saleh textiles. His intense gaze, raven straight hair, and pale creamish skin weren't one to go unnoticed. Partying, girlfriend and work were his main goals in life and nothing could change that. He was pretty content until a little girl who liked to act snobby and confident, forcefully entered his life. To say that he was annoyed would be an understatement. They say polars attract but this couple just didn't click. The bond of marriage between the two, binding them together created a big clash. And one thing was for sure, it wasn't pretty. __________________________________ Note: The credit for the images used in the cover goes to however made them.

38 parts Ongoing Mature
"Now why don't you start telling me, what that motherf**ker was doing at your house yesterday...?" "Ethan, please..., I-" she let out, despite the throbbing ache. "Here's the thing, cara mia," he snarled in her ear, his hot breath hitting her skin like that of a scalding iron rod, "I don't tolerate opponents, I destroy them. So, listen to me and believe me when I say, I'm going to ruin him so bad that he will curse the day he was born and curse the day he laid his unworthy eyes on you. And this is a f*cking promise!" ~~~ HE WAS UNHINGED; SHE WAS HIS ELIXIR HE WAS ADDICTED; SHE WAS HIS DRUG HE WAS WISTFUL; SHE WAS HIS FANTASY At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands. Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire. What is she to do when all odds are against her and the haven she sought after happens to be a playground for the Mafia ruler's son? Will her prayers for a life of freedom ever come true? If yes, then at what cost...? Trigger warning: violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, racism, substance abuse, and self-harm. The book is DARK, DARK, and DARK. This contains both Book 1 (completed) and Book 2 of Ruining Innocence series. ~~ Join my patreon page for faster and earlier updates: patreon.com/shaziyakhanwrites

HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 IN ISLAM #10 IN SPIRITUAL "Tell me what you want. Anything. Just don't hurt them." That quirked his interest. "You would give me anything? Truly?" "I- what do you have in mind?" He stood up, moving closer to her. "A little something," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "First tell me you consent." She tried to step aside but he slammed his palms against the tree trunk, shoving her against it. "You said anything." She realized what he meant and nearly fell back. "No! I didn't mean that. You-you can't." "Give me your brother then." Her eyes welled up with tears. "P-please. I've never- I can't." "Anything." "We're not married." He laughed at that. "We don't have to be." She met his gaze and buried her face slightly in Ruhayl's hair. It was amazing how silent that kid was. "I-I don't-" He took a step back and shrugged. He wasn't one to force himself on a girl. His ways were malicious but he loathed the idea of rape. "All right. Fine. Let's play a game then." Her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "A game?" "If you survive, I'll consider sparing your brothers. If you lose, you will give me what I want willingly. Simple." He smirked. In both cases, he would win. But she didn't need to know that. ******* Za'yaal Ibn Umair Al-Qureyshi, the Heir of Dragos and the cold hearted man who practically owns the country of Uzmer.

"Sarauniya!" I said almost loudly but not enough for my friend Bilal to hear, "who is she?" "Aaliyah. She's the late Alhaji Mujib's daughter. " Bilal said seeming uninterested with the topic. "Ina gidan su?" I asked, sounding a bit like a crazy stalker. "Ka kamu da ciwon so ko?" He asked as a smile spreads across his face, "They live in Asokoro district. Remember Aunty Shamsiyya? The place isn't far from your habibty's home too." "Ok, thank you. Allah ya maka albarka." "Let me know when to be expecting an invitation card." Hamza said while trying to stifle his laughter but fails woefully and I smack him on his arm as payback, joining him to laugh too. I wanted to follow her and speak to her but I heard the music start, signaling the commencement of Bilal's cousin Nadiya and her groom; Saleem's overpriced dinner party for both families. #WattysNG2020 **** This is Aaliyah's story from grass to grace as she faces obstacles created by her aunt who has done nothing but torture her since her parents death.
