A Silent Beg

Warlock Ch 159. A Silent Beg

Still, as the doors opened loudly due to his telekinesis, something tugged at him. A memory he couldn't shake. Against his better judgment, he shot a glance back over his shoulder. His eyes locked with Aria's, her expression a mix of anger, disappointment, and something deeper—something that twisted the knife in his chest.

They had been so close once. He could remember her smile, her laughter, the way she always pushed him to be better. But now… now all that remained was a chasm he couldn't cross. Her gaze wasn't just condemning—it was pleading. A silent beg for him to stop, to turn around and give in.

But he couldn't. He wouldn't. The moment he gave them an inch, they'd take everything. His power, his life—it would all be stripped away, leaving him vulnerable, helpless. And if there was one thing Damian knew, it was that vulnerability in their world was a death sentence.
