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.

MEETING WITH A DEAR FRIEND!

Ruth took hurried steps on the familiar street. She kept looking behind her. She did not know who sent that note. She did not know the gravity of that threat. And, she did not know what lied in her future.

Her heart was drumming fast in fear. She had never faced these emotions before. Was she this scared when she came into Vincardine for the first time?

No!

Was she this scared when she went into Harold's office?

No!

Was she this scared when she lost Mr Payne?

Probably...

And was she this scared of the blue-eyed monster?

Well... it was complicated. She knew that he was dangerous. More gravely dangerous than the fear she was soaking in her skin at this moment. But something about him assured her that no matter what, he would never let her suffer. He would always have his arms around her.

Before any danger came her way, it would have to go through him! She just felt it in her bones.

Ruth shook her head in disbelief. How could she think of him at such time?
