Warlock Ch 66. Sooner or Later
Damian let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, his mind racing as he replayed the brief interaction with Victoria. He remembered how her smirk had faded when they shook hands. Something had changed in her expression—something subtle but noticeable.
"Did she know I was the one she was looking for?" Damian asked in a hushed tone, his voice low enough that it wouldn't carry. He didn't want to risk anyone—or anything—hearing. "I mean, I thought she figured it out when we shook hands."
Cassius glanced at him, his sharp eyes studying Damian for a moment. "No," he said calmly, "she didn't know."
Damian let out a sigh of relief. The tension in his shoulders eased just a little, but only for a second.
"Yet," Cassius continued, his voice dropping with a warning edge, "Sooner or later, she'll find out. Not just her—everyone who craves power, anyone afraid of what you could become. They'll all come for you."
