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.

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PLACE?

"You are the one person that I can trust blindly. And that is all that matters in the end for me!" Eloise said with sincerity in her voice.

Harold stopped moving. His eyes changed with unpredictable patterns. Eloise didn't understand what happened.

"Mr Davies? Have I... have I said something wrong?" She asked nervously.

But Harold was not looking at her anymore.

She followed his gaze to see that he was looking behind her where her father and stepmother were dancing with each other.

She looked back at Harold again. He looked like he was struck by thunder. His hand slipped from her waist, and the other one let go of hers. Eloise watched him with pure confusion.

"Mr Davies?" She called his name again as gently as she could.

His eyes shifted and met hers for a split second. And before she could figure out the striking emotion in them, he turned on his heels and walked away hurriedly, leaving her in the middle of the dance for people to watch.
