Chapter 53: Help him

*LYCIA*

It happened so instantly that I could barely fathom it but almost at once I had been pressed into the backrest of the Sofa where I had been seated before as the sofa went flying back into the wall behind carrying both Seff and Esme still seated along with me.

“What the fuck did you say?” she shouted, cursing at me, letting me know how truly pissed she was.

I would have answered her if I had the breath to but her magic had been pressing so tightly around my neck, like a vice that I could barely even breathe as I thrashed around in the suspended sofa trying to live.

“Aldith!” my dad immediately pushed her hand down as he covered her eye to stop her from hurting me.

‘Please understand Lycia, your mother is just a little short tempered but she doesn’t hate you.’ This was what my father had told me when I was young and had thoroughly been punished by my mother in one of her sudden outbursts. I had always been understanding of it but today it made me question, was that really true?
