Warlock Ch 194. Alone and Sealed In
"I trust your quarters were to your liking?" Victoria asked, her tone polite but distant as she poured herself a glass of wine.
"Yeah," Damian said casually, leaning back in his chair. "Real cozy. Thanks for that."
Victoria's lips curved into a faint smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. "I'm glad to hear it."
The conversation drifted into surface-level pleasantries, though Damian could feel the unspoken questions hanging over the table. He knew he wasn't the only one thinking it—Evelyn's sharp gaze occasionally flicked to Victoria, and even Cassius seemed more watchful than usual.
Eventually, Victoria set her glass down and leaned forward slightly, her eyes locking onto Damian's. "You've been quiet," she said, her voice cutting through the casual chatter. "Is something on your mind, Damian?"
He froze for half a second before forcing a grin. "What, me? Nah. Just enjoying the atmosphere."
