Kai's POV
I ended the call with Jax. The comm unit went silent.
For a long moment, I didn't move. I just stood there, my hand gripping the cold stone of the balcony railing. My knuckles were white.
The entire story she had told me was playing on a loop in my head. The basement room. The stew. The empty suitcase.
I finally turned to look at her. She was watching me, her face a careful, blank mask.
The look in my eyes must have been terrifying. I felt the predator in me surface, cold and absolute. My voice, when I spoke, was a low, deadly sound.
"That's not enough," I said.
She blinked, confused. "What's not enough?"
"My orders to Jax," I clarified. "Gathering information is just the first step. It's a prelude to the real work. It's too clean. Too fast."
I pushed off the railing and took a slow, deliberate step toward her.
"I am going to destroy them, Valerie," I said, my voice completely calm. "Not just punish them. Destroy them."
I saw a flicker of shock in her eyes. She hadn't expected this.
"I will start with their money," I continued, laying out the plan as if I were discussing a corporate merger. "Blackwood's main business is timber. I will flood the market with cheap product from my own lands. I will undercut him until his prices collapse."
