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.

HER HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

That night was painfully longer than usual for both Ruth and Edwin. Ruth could not sleep after coming from Thea's home. Their conversation kept replaying in her head.

She looked outside at the dark sky to realise there was time for the Sun to rise from behind the mountains. Every time she thought of Edwin, she found herself cut into two halves.

One half was scared and nervous, unsure. While the other one was excited and happy. She could not put away the smile from her lips.

Not knowing how to spend the rest of the time, she found the book 'Lethal Love' again after getting tired of staring at those pretty earrings.

Ruth went into the balcony and sat in her favourite corner. She opened the page where she left the last time. She began reading a conversation between the hero and the heroine.

Heroine: "You have to stop running away from me. We can not go on like this forever. We need to stop, breath, think and say the things. That is how it works."
