Warlock Ch 382. I'm Trying to Build Something That Can Last
He looked back up at her, eyes colder now. "You think I'm benefiting from the collapse. Maybe I am. But that's not why I'm here. I'm not trying to burn it all down. I'm trying to build something that can last. Something that doesn't sacrifice good people just because it's politically convenient."
Aria exhaled slowly. Almost like a sigh.
She didn't argue.
She didn't apologize.
But she didn't look away.
"One more question," she said, finally, voice quieter now.
"Of course."
"Is Selena staying?"
His eyes flickered, barely. "Yes."
"You're not worried that's going to make things worse?"
"I'm worried about a lot of things," he said. "But she made her choice."
"And if her father retaliates?"
Damian didn't answer.
He didn't have to.
The look on his face said everything.
'Let him try.'
