## Chapter 11 — Damian Faces the Man Who Stole His Family
The cabin fell into absolute silence.
Richard Whitmore pressed the revolver harder against Sophia's temple.
"One more step..."
"...and she dies."
Every Moretti guard froze.
Owen slowly lowered his weapon.
Damian never blinked.
For more than twenty years he had imagined finding Sophia again.
Never like this.
Sophia looked directly into Damian's eyes.
She shook her head almost imperceptibly.
Don't risk it.
Richard laughed.
"So..."
"The famous Damian Moretti."
"I've heard plenty about you."
Damian spoke calmly.
"You've already lost."
Richard smiled.
"Not while she's breathing."
He dragged Sophia backward toward the rear door.
"You don't understand."
"She belongs to me."
Sophia suddenly shouted with surprising strength.
"No!"
"I never did!"
Richard slapped her across the face.
The sound echoed through the cabin.
Every guard instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon.
Damian's voice became ice cold.
"You just signed your own fate."
Richard laughed again.
"You think you're scaring me?"
"No."
Damian slowly answered.
"I'm warning you."
For the first time...
Richard noticed that Damian wasn't angry.
He was completely calm.
And somehow...
That frightened him even more.
