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.INSPECTOR XAVIER The clock on the wall ticked louder than usual. Each sound felt like a drop of water in an empty cave, echoing against the cold walls of Interrogation Room 3. I stood by the observation glass, arms folded, watching Alexander Stone sit under the glare of the fluorescent light. His wrists were chained to the metal table—secure, but not painfully so. His face was calm, almost too calm, like a man who’d rehearsed how to appear innocent.But I’d seen hundreds of “innocent” men before. They all started the same way—still, quiet, pretending not to care—until the right question broke through.That’s why I called him.Detective Kizito. If there was one man who could dig truth out of silence, it was him. He had a reputation that spread through the department like a rumor people were both afraid of and impressed by. A psychological interrogator. No violence. No shouting. Just manipulation, timing, and silence—the kind that made suspects talk without realizing it. The
ESQ GABRIEL “That’s really… a lot to take in, Ms. Quinn.”My voice came out quieter than I intended, the air in my office suddenly feeling heavier. For a long moment, I just sat there, staring at her. Valerie Quinn. The composed, sharp, brilliant woman who had walked in with her head high now looked like a storm about to break. I exhaled slowly and rubbed the back of my neck. “I feel you. I really do,” I said, leaning forward on my desk. “I feel your pain, trust me. But don’t you think you’re going too far?”Her gaze lifted, cold and glassy, a single tear already trembling at the edge of her lashes.“Two years,” I continued softly. “Two long years holding onto this… this grudge against a man who probably doesn’t even know you’re after him.” I shook my head, struggling to reconcile her calm precision with the hurt that clearly lived under her skin. “Ms. Quinn, listen. As much as Alexander hurt you, and yes—he’s wrong. I won’t defend him for that. Every word you said, every piece
VALERIE “Gabriel,” I began, my voice low and steady, though my chest felt raw."You're right — there's something personal about this case. You deserve to know. If you’re going to take this case, you need the whole story. I’ll tell you everything.”He didn’t lean back or relax. If anything, he leaned closer. His eyes held that strange mix of professionalism and something more personal—concern, maybe even fear—because he knew whatever I was about to say wasn’t going to be simple.“Start from the beginning,” he said softly. “Don’t skip anything.”I drew in a slow breath and let the memories come. They were painful, but not unfamiliar. I’d carried them for two years like stones in my chest. “It started two years ago,” I said. “Vera and I had an argument—a heated argument, and as twins… we weren’t supposed to fight like that. Fraternal twins with opposite personalities, yes. But still connected. But that night, we clashed. Words flew, doors slammed, and she stormed out.”I stared do
VALERIE I didn’t feel my legs at first. I wasn’t even sure how I stood upright. All I knew was that the words on Gabriel’s television screen had stolen the air straight out of my lungs.“SUSPECT IN NATIONAL VAULT ROBBERY INTERROGATED AND REMANDED.COURT HEARING SET FOR Monday.”My heart slammed against my ribs.No matter how much I prepared for this moment, hearing it on live news was something entirely different. The weight of it pushed into my chest so hard I had to blink to stabilize my vision.This was real now.Too real. The newsroom camera cut to a reporter standing outside the metropolitan police headquarters, flashing lights behind her, officers moving like shadows.I stared.Gabriel stared.The silence in his office thickened—dense, suffocating—like the air before a thunderstorm.Then Gabriel lowered the papers he’d been reviewing and lifted his eyes to me.That stare alone said:Valerie… what have you dragged me into?His gaze tightened, sharp and assessing, and I fel
ALEXANDER My breath cut halfway out.My mind went completely still or maybe blank.That question…That one question could destroy everything and I had seconds—maybe less—to answer. My heart pounded like it was trying to break out of my chest. The room suddenly felt too small, the air too thin, my throat too dry. I didn’t know what to say. Sofia had drilled one thing into my head—three days unconscious—but she never told me the nature of the sickness. And now here I was, staring at a man whose eyes were sharp enough to cut through steel, waiting for an answer that could either protect me or bury me alive.I swallowed hard and forced my voice steady, even though every part of me was trembling inside.“Neurological symptoms consistent with collapse and dehydration,” I said finally, the words slipping out before I could even process how I’d formed them. It felt like the universe dropped the explanation straight on my tongue. “At least… that’s what I know.” I added quietly.My voice d
ALEXANDER The cold air hit me the moment they led me out of the hospital room, a sharp, sterile breeze that made my skin prickle as if I’d stepped straight from sleep into winter. The hall smelled of disinfectant and old steel—too clean, too controlled, too intentional. A place where people like me were never meant to feel comfortable. The officers on both sides walked with a calmness that made my stomach twist. They didn’t touch me more than necessary. They didn’t shove, didn’t bark orders, didn’t treat me like a threat. That almost made it worse. Their quiet confidence told me they were certain of two things: I wasn’t going to run, and I wasn’t getting out of this easily.My legs were still wobbling, the last traces of the sedative dragging through my veins like cold syrup, making my movements slow and uneven. But I forced myself forward. Forced myself to stay upright. Pride was a stupid thing to cling to in a situation like this, but it was all I had left.One of the yo
