Bad Boy Biker Book 2 Chapter 16
The courthouse was packed. Press, spectators, curious townspeople—everyone wanted to see the Reynolds brothers' saga play out. Valentina sat behind the prosecution table, Duke beside her, their hands clasped so tightly her fingers had gone numb.Connor entered in an expensive suit, flanked by two high-priced lawyers. He looked thinner, his charm dimmed but not extinguished. His eyes found Valentina's across the room, and he smiled. Cold. Calculated. Unrepentant.She looked away."All rise for the Honorable Judge Patricia Morrison."The trial began with opening statements. The prosecutor, a sharp woman named Davis, laid out the case methodically. Connor Reynolds had murdered his father, framed his brother, and attempted to kill a witness to cover his crimes.Connor's lead attorney, a silver-haired man named Whitmore, countered with reasonable doubt. The evidence was old, contaminated, unreliable. Connor had been a traumatized teenager, and his recent actions were those of a desperate m

Two weeks after Duke's release, life had settled into something resembling routine. Morning coffee together. Duke at the garage. Valentina at the bookstore. Evenings on the couch, pretending the past months hadn't happened.But the past had a way of refusing to stay buried."Connor's trial date got moved up," Marcus announced during their weekly check-in at his office. "Judge wants this handled quickly, given the publicity.""How quickly?" Duke asked."Six weeks. And the DA wants both of you to testify."Valentina's stomach knotted. The thought of facing Connor again, of reliving everything in court..."We'll do it," Duke said, his hand finding hers. "Whatever they need."After leaving Marcus's office, they drove in silence. Duke pulled over at the town park, killing the engine."You don't have to testify if you don't want to," he said. "I can handle it alone.""No." Valentina turned to face him. "We're in this together. Remember?""Together." Duke's smile was sad. "Sometimes I wonder

Duke's apartment felt different when they walked through the door. Smaller somehow, despite being the same space Valentina had lived in for months. Or maybe it was just that Duke took up more room now—his presence filling every corner, his freedom tangible and overwhelming."Home," he said, the word cracking slightly. He stood in the middle of the living room, looking around like he'd been gone years instead of weeks. "I never thought I'd see this place again."Valentina set down his few belongings—the clothes he'd been wearing when arrested, now in a clear plastic bag. Everything else was exactly as he'd left it. She'd kept it that way, refusing to pack up his life even when it seemed hopeless."You hungry?" she asked. "I could make something, or order—"Duke pulled her against him, cutting off her words with his body. His arms wrapped around her waist, face buried in her hair, holding on like she might disappear."Just need this," he murmured. "Just need you."They stood like that f

The old barn looked different in daylight. Less ominous, more sad—a forgotten relic of a broken family's past.Valentina parked Duke's truck at the edge of the property, Axel pulling up behind her on his bike. He stayed back as promised, but close enough to intervene if needed.A figure stood near the barn entrance, silhouetted against the morning sun. As Valentina approached, the figure stepped into the light.She stopped dead in her tracks."Denny?"Duke's club brother looked older than his thirty-five years, exhaustion etched into every line of his face. "Hey, Valentine.""You're my mysterious friend?" Disbelief colored her voice. "You've been feeding me information this whole time?""Yeah." Denny shoved his hands in his pockets. "And before you ask why, let me show you something."He led her around to the back of the barn, to a spot where the earth had been disturbed recently. Crime scene tape still fluttered from nearby stakes."They dug up Thomas Reynolds three days ago," Denny

Valentina woke at dawn, her neck stiff from sleeping on the couch, her mind immediately snapping to the ticking clock. Seven hours until Duke signed his life away.She showered quickly, dressed, and was out the door by six-thirty. The sheriff's office didn't open until eight, but Valentina knew Sierra would be there early. She always was.Sierra's car sat alone in the parking lot. Valentina took a deep breath and went inside.Sierra looked up from her desk, eyes red-rimmed, a coffee mug clutched in both hands. She looked like she hadn't slept at all."I'm not ready to talk," Sierra said before Valentina could speak."Then listen." Valentina sat across from her. "I know you loved Duke. And I know he hurt you. But helping Connor destroy him won't fix that hurt. It'll just add guilt to the pain.""You don't know what it was like." Sierra's voice was raw. "Loving someone who was in love with someone else. Knowing you'd never be enough because you weren't her.""You're right. I don't know

Connor chose an upscale steakhouse an hour outside Riverdale. Private booths, dim lighting, the kind of place where deals were made and secrets were kept.He stood when Valentina arrived, his smile practiced and perfect. "You look stunning.""Thank you." She let him pull out her chair, every movement calculated. "What are we celebrating?""Patience." Connor ordered wine, expensive and red. "Let's enjoy the evening first."They made small talk through appetizers, Connor charming and attentive. But Valentina could feel the tension underneath, like a wire pulled too tight.Finally, over the main course, Connor set down his fork."I had a visitor today," he said. "Sierra. She seemed... agitated."Valentina's pulse quickened, but she kept her expression neutral. "Oh?""She said you threatened her. Tried to blackmail her into testing evidence." Connor's eyes were hard despite his smile. "That's a serious accusation, Valentina.""Is it true?""I asked her what she wanted to do about it." He
