Following a string of tragic events, three resilient siblings serve as the last line of defense in the hallowed halls of a powerful English family, the Becketts. Bound by blood but split by ideologies, they work to uphold the legendary Beckett name.

In the meantime, a web of intrigue entangles young American Agent, Aiden Wolfe, who bears a striking likeness to the powerful Head of the Ministry of Defence in England. 

Questions come up as Aiden works his way through the complex relationships of the Beckett family: Will he end up an unintentional spy, or does fate have more elaborate plans in store for him? The conflict of titanic proportions in this story of heritage, espionage, and familial obligation holds the potential to completely rewrite the Beckett family tree.

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?

In the roaring streets of 1920s New York, Roman Aurelius, an ambitious immigrant from Rome, carves out a name for himself in the ruthless underworld of organized crime. Struggling to survive amidst rival gangs and law enforcement, Roman's cunning and strategic brilliance propel him to the top of the Moretti family, a powerful Mafia syndicate. As Roman's influence grows, so does the danger. Betrayal lurks around every corner, and the lines between loyalty and treachery blur. Faced with the constant threat of violence, Roman must navigate a world where trust is scarce and enemies are everywhere. Yet, amidst the chaos, Roman finds an unexpected ally and love in Isabella, a woman whose strength and resilience match his own. Together, they forge a path through the darkness, transforming the Moretti family from a criminal enterprise into a legitimate business empire. But the journey is fraught with peril. From deadly showdowns with rival gangs to complex power plays within the family, Roman's rise is a testament to his unwavering loyalty, sharp intellect, and relentless determination. As years pass and the dust of battles settles, Roman reflects on his life, realizing that while money and power may come and go, the true essence of his legacy lies in the family he built and protected. With wisdom gained from a lifetime of hard-fought lessons, Roman attends his son's wedding, proud of the future he has secured for his family. "Empire of Shadows" is a gripping tale of ambition, love, and loyalty in the treacherous world of the Mafia, where one man's rise to power is as much about his wits and will as it is about his heart.
