At twenty years old, Luca Moretti lives fast, loud, and reckless-street races at midnight, fists bruised by dawn, emotions buried so deep they might as well be dead. He doesn't believe in family, loyalty, or second chances. All he believes in is speed, violence, and never letting anyone see him bleed. Then his mother remarries. His new stepfather is a powerful mafia figure. His new stepbrothers are criminals raised on blood and hierarchy-three older, one younger-and none of them trust Luca. Worse, they start to see themselves in him. What no one knows is that Luca already belongs to a gang of his own. A rival racer stalks him from the shadows, a war brews beneath the city, and every secret Luca hides pulls him closer to a collision that could destroy them all. Told in Luca's raw, unfiltered voice, Blood in the Rearview is a dark, gritty story about anger passed down like inheritance, brotherhood forged in violence, and a boy who would rather burn than admit he feels anything at all.

Aryan has made himself very clear that Arnav is nothing more than a Burden to him . he Shows his hate towards his brother through Violence and harsh words . Aryan Raizada-24, ruthless, hollow-eyed-stands in the driveway, his white shirt now translucent from the rain, clinging to the brutal lines of his body. His jaw is set, his expression unreadable. In his hand, a heavy iron chain, its links cold and unyielding. At his feet, Arnav (9)-small, trembling, his school uniform soaked through-stares up at him with wide, terrified eyes. His dark hair is plastered to his forehead, his lips already turning blue. Arnav:"Bhaiya, please... I won't do it again! I promise!"* His voice is high, desperate, cracking under the weight of his fear. *"It hurts! The rain-it's too cold!"* Aryan doesn't flinch. He doesn't *care*. Aryan:"You think your promises mean anything to me?"* His voice is a blade-sharp Arnav chokes out a sob. *"I'm not! I didn't mean to-"* Aryan:You *dared* to use the Raizada name at school."* His grip tightens, lifting Arnav off his feet. *"You have *no* right to that name. You're nothing. A mistake. A stain on this family's legacy." **Arnav:** *"But-but I *am* a Raizada! Our parents and they were bullying and beating me-"* Aryan's hand flies out, **slapping him hard across the face**. The crack of skin against skin is lost in the thunder, but Arnav's whimper isn't. Aryan:"Our parents are *dead* because of you." His voice is a growl, low and venomous. "If you had never been born, they'd still be alive. This family wouldn't be a joke." Arnav's breath hitches, tears mixing with the rain. "That's not true..." The chain rattles as Aryan wraps it around Arnav's waist, the cold metal pressing into his skin. The padlock clicks shut. Final. Arnav yanks at the chains, panic setting in. *"Bhaiya, no! Please! I'll do anything! I'll leave! Just don't-"* *

His elder brother wasn't just his brother... he became his shield, his comfort, his whole world. Through hunger, bruises, hospital nights, and silent prayers, they survived together. Years later, the mother who once walked away suddenly returns - not alone, but with a truth that shatters everything they believed. A young boy. A past full of regret.

Title: Razia Gundon Mein Phas Gayi (Mafia Edition) Summary: Rudra Raizada, the most feared and emotionless mafia boss, descends into his mansion's basement to finally meet ACP Ram Malhotra-the man threatening his entire empire. He expects fear, screams, or at least silence. Instead, he walks into pure chaos. The kidnapped ACP is not tied, not scared, and very much enjoying himself-dancing dramatically and singing at the top of his lungs: " Allah bachaye meri jaan ki Razia gundon mein phas gayi, Ho ho ho Allah bachaye teri jaan ki, Razia gundon mein phas gayi" Rudra freezes. His men freeze. The laws of the universe briefly stop working. Then the boy notices Rudra, freezes mid-dance, scans him shamelessly, and declares: " ohh kya maal hai , kya kamar hai oy hoye ...man karta hai kaccha chaba jau , Mr apko ladko mein interest hai , how about one night stand ?" Rudra, who never speaks unless someone is about to die, finally snaps-turns to his second-in-command and orders: " throw out this Tharki boy" He storms out like nothing happened... except his heart is beating way too fast, and he absolutely does not understand why. Plot twist: the boy isn't ACP Ram Malhotra at all. He's Avi-Ram's younger brother. Extremely tharki, wildly mischievous, innocent-looking, and absolutely fearless. Unfortunately for Rudra, Ram Malhotra loves his brother more than his own life. Now the question isn't what Rudra will do- It's what will happen when ACP Ram Malhotra finds out that a mafia boss has been "harassing" his brother. (Author's note: your brother was their one harrassing the mafia, no one dare to make an eye contact. 😁🤭) .... Ram was so protective of his brother that when avi told him once that a professor tried to bad touch him, the next day the professor went missing. A dark mafia AU filled with misunderstandings, accidental flirting, deadly glares, and one very confused mafia boss who might have just met his worst nightmare-and his future. 💥😌
