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.

FACING FLORENCE AGAIN

After talking with Thea, she and Ruth had decided to start afresh. Now the gloominess and guilt in Ruth's heart had disappeared, but the stains remained, which would be cleaned only after talking with Rees.

After giving her thoughts some time when Ruth looked back at that day in 'the great manor', she realised how wrong it was on her behalf to jump on to the conclusions. Rees didn't even get a chance to explain himself.

Now only Ruth realised, why he did not want her in 'the great manor'. He knew his master. He knew how arrogant man he was. But Ruth couldn't understand him then.

She needed to talk with Rees, or she would never forgive herself. But she didn't dare to face him.

With those thoughts running in her mind, she reached her apartment building about the time, the Sun bidding goodbye for the day. She had promised Mrs Payne to prepare tonight's dinner. Also, she was eager to see Mr Payne and see, if there was any improvement in his condition.
