LOGINI swore vengeance long before I swore the law. The night my twin sister’s future was stolen, a promise was carved into my soul—to dismantle the empire of Alexander Stone, the ruthless leader of the Xander MC. Not with fists or bullets, but with patience, precision, and the law he thinks he’s untouchable from. Now I walk in his shadow. To him, I’m a sharp-tongued lawyer with a backbone of steel—the woman he thinks can shield him from justice. To me, he’s nothing but a target. Every word I speak, every smile I fake, every late-night meeting in smoke-filled rooms is just another thread in the trap I’m weaving around him. But vengeance has its own dangers. Somewhere in the blurred lines of loyalty and deception, I start to feel the pull of the very man I came to destroy. His voice lingers, his touch burns, and the closer I get to ending him, the closer I fall into something I can’t control. He doesn’t know my secret—yet. But when the mask falls, when he realizes the knife has been in my hands all along, it won’t just be a reckoning. It will be war. And in this war between justice and desire, I may lose more than my sister’s revenge… I may lose myself and I don't know if I'll destroy him... or if he'll destroy me first.

I have waited. I have plotted. For two long, restless years, every breath I took carried one name—Alexander Stone. He isn’t just a man; he’s a monster. The ruthless leader of the Xander Motorcycle Club, feared on the streets and untouchable in the eyes of the law. And on that night—the night that changed everything—Alexander and his gang ran my twin sister, Vera, off the road. They left her there, bleeding and broken, unconscious for hours before help arrived. I still remember the hospital smell, the beeping machines keeping her alive, the pale look on her face. They said there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him. I knew why. Alexander Stone made sure of it. Powerful. Influential. Untouchable. He erased every shred of proof, leaving me with nothing but rage and a sister who hasn’t opened her eyes since that night. For two years, I’ve nurtured my career, building my skills, climbing every rung of the legal ladder while secretly crafting my revenge. Vera doesn’t deserve to lie lifeless while he roams free, laughing, riding, living like nothing ever happened. So, I did what I had to do. I went undercover. I infiltrated his world one careful step at a time. I earned whispers of trust, gathered scraps of evidence, and pieced them together like a deadly puzzle. But Alexander Stone is no fool. To get close to him, I had to do the unthinkable—swear loyalty to his club. And then, I crossed a line I never thought I would. I let him believe I’d fallen for him. I smiled when I wanted to spit in his face. I touched him when all I wanted was to see him in handcuffs. I even let him into my bed, because every ounce of intimacy brought me closer to his secrets. Every step I take is calculated. Every move is intentional. I will dismantle him piece by piece, strip him of everything he values, and when he finally realizes who I am and what I’ve done, it will be far too late. This isn’t just revenge. This is justice—delivered by the only person he never saw coming. VALERIE “Objection, My Lord,” I said, rising from my seat with deliberate precision, my heels clicking softly against the polished courtroom floor. The room, tense and heavy with anticipation, stilled as I adjusted the lapel of my charcoal-gray suit. “According to the evidence in my custody, my client was not in New York, USA, on the 25th of May at 12:45 a.m., when this alleged crime took place.” The judge’s eyes—cold, discerning—shifted to me as I lifted a sealed folder from the table and held it up for the court to see. “I have here, Your Lordship, the verified travel ticket my client used. He was, at that precise time, aboard Flight 762 to London Heathrow, as confirmed by both the airline’s manifest and immigration records.” I placed the folder on the evidence stand with a crisp, authoritative motion. “I presented it to the court yesterday, and today, I bring additional corroboration: CCTV footage from the airport’s security cameras showing my client boarding that flight. The prosecution’s narrative is not just flawed; it is fabricated.” I turned my gaze briefly to the opposing counsel, my lips curving in a controlled, professional smile. “My colleague here is attempting to frame my client for a crime committed by none other than the son of the CEO and former governor of Florida, whose influence, while extensive, does not extend beyond the truth this court upholds. With this evidence before you, I trust I have demonstrated that my client, Mr. Evander Black, is innocent of all charges.” “Objection!” my opposing counsel snapped, his voice loud, almost desperate. “My Lord, this is speculation—” “Objection overruled,” the judge said firmly, cutting him off without hesitation. The gavel came down with a sharp crack. “Counselor Martinez, you have failed to refute the evidence presented. Proceed to sentencing.” A murmur rippled through the courtroom, the sound of journalists shifting in their seats, pens scratching feverishly against notepads. I could feel every eye on me—spectators, jury members, even the gallery filled with curious onlookers waiting to see if a woman like me could bring down a dynasty like theirs. I inhaled slowly, controlled, as the judge continued. “Now, with every piece of evidence submitted and every word spoken in this court,” he said, his deep voice echoing through the chamber, “it is the ruling of this court that Evander Black is hereby acquitted of all charges. Furthermore, due to the deliberate and malicious attempt to frame him, I hereby sentence Charles Donovan, son of CEO and ex-Governor Howard Donovan, to twenty years’ imprisonment for murder and falsification of evidence. In addition, the Donovan family will provide full financial restitution for the damages and inconveniences caused to the accused.” The final strike of the gavel reverberated like a victory drum. Evander exhaled beside me, his relief palpable but restrained, as I had advised him. Never celebrate too soon. Never lower your guard. I allowed myself only the smallest nod before collecting my papers, sliding them into my briefcase with the same efficiency I had maintained throughout this entire ordeal. The prosecution’s table sat in stunned silence. Opposing counsel stared at me with a mixture of frustration and unwilling respect. “You think you’ve won, Quinn,” he muttered under his breath as I walked past. I paused just enough to tilt my head toward him, my voice calm but laced with steel. “I don’t think so, Counselor. I win. That’s why I’m here and you’re walking out empty-handed.” His jaw tightened, but I didn’t wait for a reply. I walked straight toward Evander, who stood tall now, his cufflinks glinting under the chandelier’s light. “Thank you,” he said quietly, his voice rough with suppressed emotion. I met his gaze, unwavering. “Don’t thank me, Mr. Black. Thank the law—and remember, it doesn’t protect the careless. So stay clean.” He gave a curt nod, understanding the warning beneath my words. My job was done here. As I strode out of the courtroom, my heels striking the marble floor like a metronome of dominance, the reporters surged forward, their voices clamoring for a statement. “Miss Lawson! Valerie Quinn! How did you manage to dismantle the Donovan case? What’s next for you?” I raised a single hand, silencing them without a word. The corridor hushed, cameras flashing as I walked past. Control. Always control. The law was my weapon, and I wielded it without apology. Outside, the air was crisp, the city skyline stretching like a promise ahead of me. Another victory secured, another powerful man brought down. But I knew better than anyone that victories like these painted targets on your back. The Donovans would not forget, and neither would I. And that was exactly how I liked it. One man down. But one more to go and I will not stop until you’re destroyed. I tightened my grip on the briefcase, feeling the weight of the evidence I’d yet to unleash. My lips curved, not in satisfaction, but in bitter resolve. Alexander Stone … The name itself tasted like iron on my tongue. You have no idea what I have in store for you. No idea how carefully I’ve been planning. You think you’re untouchable, hidden behind your army of leather and chrome, ruling the streets like a king. But kings fall, and when you do, I’ll be the one standing over the ashes of your empire. I left the courthouse with my head held high, every step deliberate, every movement a declaration of victory. The air outside felt different—lighter, almost—yet beneath that fleeting sense of triumph burned something far heavier, far darker. This case, the one I’d just won, had dragged on for nearly a month. Endless nights, relentless pressure, but I had crushed it. And while the world might see me as the brilliant lawyer who dismantled criminal minded people, I knew better. This was nothing compared to what lay ahead. I would be back. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but soon enough. For the case I’ve been preparing for four long, grueling years. A case drenched in blood and betrayal. A case that’s personal. Because this isn’t about justice—it’s about vengeance. I will bring those bikers to their knees. Every last one of them. And when I say bikers, I mean him. Alexander Stone. The name alone ignited a storm inside me. The Lawless King of the Xander MC. Ruthless. Untouchable. Feared by men twice his size and worshipped by a legion of criminals. To the world, he’s power incarnate, an enigma cloaked in leather and sin. To me, he’s the man who turned my life into a wasteland. Two years ago, I lost everything because of him. My reputation was dragged through mud, my career almost destroyed before it began, and worst of all—my twin sister, Vera. Sweet, stubborn Vera who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I remember the phone call that shattered me. I remember the silence that followed. And I remember the promise I made that night as I stared at her empty room: I will find him. I will end him. And I will make him watch as everything he’s built crumbles to dust. So, let them celebrate my victory today. Let them print my name across headlines and call me brilliant, unstoppable, untouchable. They have no idea what’s coming. Because this? This was just practice. The real war hasn’t even begun. And when it does, Alexander Stone will fall. I will see to it with my own hands. For Vera. For every restless night. For every wound that never healed. I had an empire to burn. I took one last look at the courthouse steps before walking away, my mind already mapping the war ahead.VALERIEI walked away from him without looking back.Every step was calculated. One foot in front of the other. Hips swaying just enough to catch the light, just enough to keep his eyes glued to my spine. I didn’t need to turn around to know he was watching. I could feel his gaze like a physical weight, heavy and burning, pressing against the bare skin of my back.My heart was hammering against my ribs, but not from fear.It was adrenaline. The pure, intoxicating rush of the hunt.I made it to the bar, signaled the bartender for a vodka tonic—something clear, something sharp—and finally let myself exhale.I got him.The interaction had lasted less than a minute, but it told me everything I needed to know.I replayed the moment in my head as I watched the bartender chip ice from a block.Alexander Stone, the man who supposedly ran this city, the man who scared judges and owned politicians, had frozen.He hadn’t just been surprised. He had been paralyzed.I saw the way his fingers tight
ALEXANDER Jerry. The name sat on my tongue like a curse. It tasted heavy. It tasted like ash. I stared at the man standing in front of me. This wasn’t just an employee. This was the man who had been my shadow for five years. He had taken bullets meant for my chest. He had buried bodies I didn’t want to touch. He knew the codes to my safe, the location of my emergency cash, and the skeletons rattling in my closet. For five years, I trusted him with my life. But tonight, looking at him, I didn’t see a brother. I saw a liability. The bass of the club music thumped against my ribs. It felt like a rhythmic, mocking heartbeat. It synchronized with the pulsing rage behind my eyes. The air between us, usually filled with the easy silence of soldiers who had survived a war, was now thick. It was suffocating. "You," I said. My voice was low. It didn’t need to be loud. In my world, the quieter I got, the more people stopped breathing. "Say that again." Jerry didn’t flinch. He didn’t step
ALEXANDER For a heartbeat, I was convinced the alcohol had finally hit me wrong.I blinked, waiting for the image to dissolve, waiting for the figure in the center of the room to morph into someone else—a stranger, a client’s wife, anyone other than her. But the image didn’t shift.Valerie Quinn stood there, inside my perimeter, under the strobe lights I had paid for, surrounded by people I had vetted. She was standing in the middle of The Obsidian like a jagged piece of glass in a velvet bag.I hadn’t sent the invitation. I hadn’t texted her the address. I hadn’t even whispered the word "birthday" in her presence. I had made a deliberate, calculated executive decision to keep my professional life and my personal chaos separate for twenty-four hours.So why the hell was she here?The shock didn't hit me all at once. It was a delayed impact, like a bullet that enters clean and only starts burning once it hits the bone. My body reacted before my brain could catch up to the breach in
ALEXANDERFinally, the clock went full circle again.Three hundred and sixty-five days. Around the sun. Around the clock. And here I was—plus one again.July 20th.I stared at the digital numbers on my bedside clock, watching the minute change. It was a simple shift of a digit, but it felt like a heavy door closing on the past and opening onto something new.There was a time when this day meant everything to me. It was a day full of noise, laughter, and wild anticipation. It was the one day a year that made me feel completely untouchable. Important. Seen. On my birthday, I used to feel like the president of the country—no, more than that. I felt like a king or even more than a king.In the past, my phone would blow up before my eyes even opened. Every call was answered with a laugh. Every glass was raised in a toast to my name. Every room I walked into seemed to bend slightly in my direction, acknowledging that, for twenty-four hours, the world revolved around Alexander Stone.Birthda
