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.

[Bonus chapter]NOT-SO-HONOURABLE PRESENCE

After ten more minutes of argument and heated retorts from Ruth, she and Thea stood a little away from the gate with a frown on their faces. While the guards stood tall, crossing their hands over their chest and glaring at the two women, who had given an earful to them.

"What now, Ruth?" Thea asked in frustration.

With every passing moment, the uneasiness in her heart grew by an inch. She could feel the danger and the tension lingering in the air of the O'Dell property. She wanted to see behind those giant brick and stone walls. She wanted to see what had happened with Rees.

Why the O'Dells had restricted entry of any person in 'the great manor' except specified personalities and their servants?

"I am so sorry, Thea. We have tried our best but those chauvinistic men are so dense to understand anything. I don't think we can enter in there today." Ruth glanced up at the dark sky. The coldness in the air had increased than the daytime.
