The year was 1971, and Khalid Muhammad spoke out emphatically against the violence and drugs that plagued the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn community, and tragically he's killed as a result of. Following soon after, a bitter, violent, vortex encircles the lives of his family.

It's now 1985, and his wife Waseema struggles against all odds to hold the family down, but it all gets away from her, quickly. The oldest son, Mustapha, resorts to selling drugs; Rasheed, another sibling, gets caught up in robbing drug dealers;  and a sister, Shaheeda, falls prey to the crack-cocaine and prostitution that ravages the once proud and thriving Bushwick-Hylan Projects.

To only make matters worse, Rasheed and his crew rob a larger than life stash of cash and drugs from one of Brooklyn's top dope pushers, and then make plans to take down his main stash next. In the complex web and circle of events that take place next, Rasheed unwittingly stumbles on a break surrounding circumstances involving his father's death; and the web is further tangled as he finds out all too late, that unknowingly, betrayal by his lover, and his best friend hinder his quest to get closer to the ones responsible.

However, his crew, and his family manage to all unite in an attempt to get from under the clutches of a phycotic drug king-pen, Carlos. In the all too thrilling, Houdini-like finish, his father's past threatens to hold on to secrets that may one day set Rasheed free from his demons.

But, all is not lost as Khalid's last words are revealed; a Arabic translation for the melodramatic lunacy of Rasheed's crazed world-the only clue...dunya!

𝐏𝐭.𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ⋆₊˚༺𖦹❖𖦹༻ ˚₊⋆ Silence surrounded me, as if this place existed outside of time itself. No sound at all except for my own heartbeat, pounding in my ears. A single step onto that path could mean death. I stood still at the threshold, my hands gripping the rough, weathered stone of the open doors. I didn't step forward. And then; A whisper. Low. Soft. Almost- 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. "प्रिया विक्रमेश्वरी... वे आप हमारे साथ आएगी ना?विक्रमात्मिका, मेरा समिक्षा |" ("Beloved Vikrameshwari [Vikram's Queen/ Vikram's Goddess].... won't you come with me? Vikramātmikā [Vikram's soul/essence/embodiment], My Samiksha.") The voice slid through the air, curling around my name with an unsettling familiarity. It was neither a demand nor a question. It simply... was. My heart pounded. My breath caught. Who was it? I turned my head sharply to the right. No one. Swallowing, I turned to the left; And there he stood. A figure, towering at least a feet above me. Gazing at me with those unreadable-Amber eyes. I gasped. And then I woke up. Gasping. Soaked in sweat. As if I had truly been there; lived it, breathed it, barely survived it. "Samiksha...", A voice - real - behind me. I turned. Vikram Rao Nandan. My alliance husband. Sat there... eyes the same amber, but this time they burned like the ones in my dream. Before I could speak, he did. And his voice was different. Final. Like a verdict. "You and I are always meant to be, my beloved. Even if I have to hunt you down from the ends of the world... even from the depths of darkness itself. We belong together. 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚- 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳."
The Heirs of Honour by yasha1021
64 parts Ongoing Mature
Rule #1: Never break the rules that keep you alive. Rule #2: Don't let your family find out you broke Rule #1. Rule #3: If you break Rules #1 and #2... run. Fast. The Firdaus brothers run an empire built on honour, secrets, and the occasional violation of international law. On paper, they appear to be legitimate businessmen. Off paper, they're the reason half the city doesn't sleep at night. They are respected, cunning, and dangerous, and somehow still get roped into helping with homework. Bound by the ancient Tawla rules and a strict code of conduct, the Firdaus mafia thrives in the shadows. Betrayal is met with a single, unforgiving consequence: death. After a seventeen-year exile, Sinan, the eldest Firdaus brother, returns to find his once-familiar world irrevocably transformed. A drug lord taking over their city, his younger brothers turning grey from stress, and his only son falling for the one girl he shouldn't be near. Meanwhile, the next generation of Firdaus heirs is trying to survive high school, trauma, and the occasional kidnapping, all while preparing to inherit a criminal empire. Rule #20: Secrets here are like currency. And the Firdauses are filthy rich. The Heirs of Honour is a story about loyalty, legacy, and what happens when you try to raise emotionally stable children in an emotionally unstable environment. Nobody is normal. Everyone is armed. And family dinners are never a dull moment. Will the heirs rise to claim their destiny, or will the sins of the past destroy them all?

I whispered and a sad smile took its place on his face. He took my hand in his. "I hope one day, You will be able to love me even half as much as you loved Hudhayfah." A tear escaped my eyes on his name. His face appeared in my mind. My words were stuck in my throat. Something flashed in his eyes maybe a realization. He looked at me and got a bit close.
