A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

FOUNTAIN OF EMOTIONS

Ruth managed to hide the day's events from Mrs Payne. She tossed from one side to the other, unable to get any sleep. How many days she will manage to hide the truth from her?

What would happen when she get to know the truth?

And the most nagging question that kept eating Ruth's brain was how the dress got ruined?

The way it was torn at places, and stained showed it was a deliberate act. Only Thea and Mrs Payne were there in the room the whole time apart from her, and none of the two ladies would ever do that.

Then who?

Ruth again changed her side. The left side of her face pressed in the pillow under her head. She sighed, looking at peacefully sleeping Mrs Payne except for the sounds of her loud snores. For some reason, Ruth smiled hearing that sound.

She had a hard time adjusting to it initially when she shifted to live with her. However, after more than a month, she got so used to hearing it that she doubted if she could get any sleep if that sound did not fall on her ears.
