ALEXANDER

The atmosphere in the vault was tense—too tense.

Every breath felt heavier than the last, and every heartbeat pounded like a ticking bomb in my chest. The dim red light flickered across the room, bouncing off the metal walls, and all I could hear was the steady rhythm of fear and tension clawing at my sanity.

My grip around my gun tightened as I scanned the space, eyes darting between the flickering shadows. The man in black still had Jade in a chokehold, his weapon pressed against his skull, while the rest of my men stood frozen, waiting for my signal. One wrong move and we’d all be dead.

But then—something shifted behind me.

A faint sound. The scrape of a boot against the floor. A shadow moving where there shouldn’t be one.

My instincts screamed betrayal.

I spun around, muscles coiled tight, and lunged toward the figure before I could even think. We collided hard—bodies slamming into the metal vault door with a loud clang. My gun clattered to the floor as we fought, f

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    NOT YET

    ALEXANDER I woke up with the familiar taste of ash in my mouth and a heaviness sitting squarely on my chest—a distinct, physical weight that had nothing to do with gravity and everything to do with the ghosts I kept in the corners of my mind. It wasn’t the grogginess of a lack of sleep; I had slept the sleep of the dead. This was something else. This was the suffocating pressure of thoughts I hadn’t invited, waiting for me the moment my guard dropped. Morning light hemorrhaged through the curtains, dull and slate-gray, washing the room in a cold, clinical pallor. For a long time, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, listening to the hum of the city outside and letting the silence inside the room settle like dust. Two days. My birthday was in two days. In any other year, that realization would have sparked a low-thrumming anticipation in my blood. I liked celebrating. I always had. In this life, where every day was a negotiation with mortality, birthdays weren't just dates on

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    CLOSING IN

    VALERIE POV I was still standing in the courthouse hallway when my phone vibrated in my hand. For a moment, I didn’t notice it. My thoughts were still tangled in the echoes of the courtroom—the judge’s sharp tone, the woman’s quiet sobs, the way justice had been handed out cleanly and without apology. I was replaying Vera’s face in my head, the way it always appeared when I least expected it, when the vibration came again, more insistent this time. I looked down — an unknown sender. Of course, I knew exactly who it was. That alone should have made me cautious. It usually did. But something about today had already stripped me raw, left my emotions exposed. I unlocked the phone. There will be a party. Alexander’s birthday is in two days’ time. I stared at the screen. Once. Twice. Then I read it again, slower. Alexander’s birthday. In two days. My pulse jumped, sharp and sudden, like my body had reacted before my mind could catch up. The hallway around me faded—the polished

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    WHY?

    VALERIE I woke up to that cold, sinking reminder — court was today. I lay there for a while, staring blankly at the ceiling, trying to steady my thoughts. It still felt wild to me. Unreal. I’d always believed some things could be handled at home. Not every disagreement needed a courtroom. Not every marriage problem needed a judge in a robe deciding who failed who. But life doesn’t always care what you believe. But I also know this. There are situations no kitchen-table conversation can fix. No apologies can erase neglect. No promises can undo years of irresponsibility. And no amount of patience should be demanded from a woman who has carried everything alone while the man who vowed to stand beside her chased every skirt that crossed his path. Today was the third hearing. The final one and I had vowed to myself that I would get her justice. I stood in front of the mirror that morning, adjusting the collar of my suit, studying my reflection with a calm that came from prep

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

    ALEXANDER The door closed behind her with a sound that was too soft for the weight it carried, and for a moment I just stood there, frozen, staring at the space where Ms.Quinn had been standing seconds ago. The apartment felt unfamiliar now, like the walls had shifted when she left, like the air itself had changed its mind about me. The music was off, the laughter gone, the smoke thinning, yet her presence still lingered, sharp and uncomfortable, like a truth I was not ready to face.You are free because I allowed it.Her words replayed in my head, slow and deliberate, each repetition digging deeper than the last. I dragged a hand down my face and let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I had been holding my breath for days, maybe weeks, ever since the cuffs snapped around my wrists and the world decided I was guilty before I could speak. Freedom should have tasted sweet. Instead, it felt fragile, like glass.I walked toward the couch and dropped onto it heavily, elbows on

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    THEN WHAT IS IT?

    VALERIE Alexander, listen. I had never gone back on my word, and I wasn’t about to start now. Not today. Not with him. Not ever. That promise included shattering his world if I ever had to. The thought echoed quietly in my head as I stood facing Alexander in the middle of his living room. The door had already closed behind his men. The apartment was silent now, stripped of music, laughter, smoke, and noise. Just the two of us. Just truth hanging thick in the air. He looked different without his crew around him. Less guarded. Less arrogant. Not defiant. Not angry. Just unsure. And that alone told me I had walked into something dangerous. We had an agreement, a clear one. You needed legal backup, someone to stand between you and the system while you do your things. I agreed to that. Nothing more. Nothing less. I did not agree to babysit you and I did not agree to clean up your recklessness. I did not agree to watch you walk back into the same fire that almost destroyed you. “I

  • THE LAWLESS BIKER AND BADASS LAWYER'S REVENGE    DO WHAT?

    VALERIE It was already the weekend, and the city felt different in that quiet, deceptive way it always did when people believed the worst had passed. The air was cool, almost gentle, as I drove through familiar streets toward Alexander’s apartment. I didn’t come with anger sharp enough to threaten him, and I didn’t come with fear either. What sat heavy in my chest was something more exhausting—disappointment mixed with resolve. If I was going to continue this path, I needed to see him. I needed to understand where his head was now. I parked outside his building and sat in the car for a moment longer than necessary, my hands resting on the steering wheel. For two years, every step I’d taken had been deliberate. Every move is calculated. Yet standing here, about to face the man whose name had shaped my life in ways he didn’t even know, I felt an unfamiliar tightness in my throat. Not a weakness. Just restraint. I got out of the car and walked up to the door. Before I could knock
