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.

DINNER AT WELBYS

Mr Green had called a carriage that waited in front of their house. To escape from her mother, Thea pulled Ruth out of the house and towards the carriage.

The coachman opened the door for them.

"Good evening, My Lady!" He bowed at her.

"Good evening!" Thea smiled at the man politely.

"Let me help you get in there." The man said and extended his hand for Thea to take.

"Thank you!" She said, then put her hand in his.

She gathered her flowy dress and put her feet on the step to enter the carriage. Ruth had her mind elsewhere. She looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. Furrowing her brows, she wondered what was wrong with the weather.

It was not rainy days in Vincardine, then how these dark clouds gathered in the sky?

"My Lady?" The coachman called to gain her attention.

"Huh?"

"Come on, Ruth. What are you waiting for?" Thea called her to get inside.

Nodding her head, Ruth adjusted her dress in her hand, and with the help of the coachman, she stepped inside the carriage.
