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.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH HER?

Ruth was beyond shocked and even scared after hearing Douglas and Theodora's conversation. She could not believe that her biological mother, dared to poison Edwin, her own family.

She felt dizzy, replaying that thought in her mind.

How did she not notice it? She was applying those medicinal pastes on his wounds twice a day, and not a single time did she doubt their authenticity.

Then she recalled the day when Theodora accused her of tampering with Edwin's medicines. Tears gathered in Ruth's eyes as she remembered how Edwin endured that gut-wrenching pain, just to prove her innocence in front of Theodora.

Ruth covered her mouth to repress the sob. Theodora had it all planned well. She was trying to spin a web for Ruth. It was only Ruth's good luck that she found that bottle and heard their conversation accidentally.

Ruth had no idea that she would get to hear Theodora's evil plans when she went to find Ida as she was working in Theodora's building at that time.
