"That's going to cost a lot—"
"I don't care what it costs!" Maksim's frustration slipped just a little. "I want Hazard King gone. I want his whole empire destroyed. I want everything he built to go up in flames. Whatever it takes."
The intensity in his voice made Alpha pause.
"Okay," Alpha replied slowly. "I'll get my people ready."
"Good." Maksim stood up suddenly. "Meeting's over. Alpha, you can take off. Selina, let's go."
Selina got up gracefully, but her mind was racing.She needed to get a message to Leo to warn them about this, but with Maksim watching her like a hawk, she totally forgot about the chip.
"Um, babe," she said, touching Maksim's arm. "I don't have anything here. I should head home first to grab some clothes and my stuff—"
"No need," Maksim said, brushing her off. "We'll stop shopping on the way to the penthouse. You can get whatever you want. Everything you need."
