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.

AN OPEN CHALLENGE

Ruth felt her heart at little ease after speaking with Edwin. Although she was still in the dilemma, Ruth was sure that their conversation would really help her reach the decision.

Was she taking too long to decide? She kept wondering that. But then she could not hurry as it was not only about her life but was also about Edwin's and thousands of people who were practically strangers to her.

Ruth was lost in those thoughts as she exited Edwin's building then entered where the rest of the family members lived.

Walking through the corridor, she got abruptly pulled by someone. The person spun her around, their nails digging in her skin.

Ruth gasped loudly at the sudden action, but when her eyes caught the sight of a person, her mood soured.

"Lady Theodora!" She said as much politely as she could.

"Where are you coming from?" Theodora asked.

Ruth figured that she already knew by the accusive tone she used.

"I went into Lord Edwin's office." Ruth told boldly.
