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.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED!

Ruth was standing on the balcony of Edwin's chamber, staring out at the town's skyline. Her mind was busy mulling over many things. She wanted to have a moment of peace but seemed like it was impossible for her.

At least the aloneness provided her with some space to think about everything thoroughly. Amongst all things, one thing kept nagging her these days.

She had already discussed the recent developments with Mrs Payne. Usually, the woman had something to aid Ruth, but this time, she looked exceptionally quiet and didn't contribute to the discussion much.

Ruth trusted the old woman more than others, especially after knowing the secrets of her past. But she couldn't deny the feeling that Mrs Payne was hiding something.

What did she know, and why she was hiding it from Ruth?

Ruth sighed as no matter how much she thought about it, the road always led to a dead end.

A pair of strong, thick arms encircled her abdomen before her back was pressed against a wall of warmth.
