#Chapter74
---Just in case-01
The pounding against the door didn’t stop, but the woman sitting on the floor with her head leaned against it, didn’t move a muscle. She had no intention of opening the door. Why should she? She already knew what her mother would say to her. It was always the same screams and complains. The same accusations and brainwashing.
Nyx didn’t know why she even listened to her mother for so long. Why did she let her control her life? Why let her ruin it?
She kept telling herself that she wouldn’t listen to her, wouldn’t do what she was told to do. It was her life. But for a reason she couldn’t fathom, Nyx always found herself listening to Elinor. It had always been like this. She would just get lucky from time to time when what her mother wanted for her happened to be the same as what she wanted for herself. Maybe that’s why Nyx could tolerate Elinor trying to control her life.
At least until Elinor asked her to leave James.
