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.

I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU!

Edwin reminisced his childhood with Theodora after Ruth told how she scared Laila. He was angry at Theodora too! But he also knew that there was no point in talking with her, so he needed to invest his efforts where they would be fruitful.

"Do you know I once scolded your brother Henry for something he didn't do? I misjudged him and insulted him in front of everyone. I was too harsh. He was also young back then just like you."

Both Laila and Ruth listened to him carefully.

"He also cried and was scared of me. He kept avoiding me for days later on. But soon he realised that hiding from your fear is not going to help you at all. One day you must face it, fight it if you want to move ahead in life."

"So... did he?" She asked slowly.

Edwin smiled, nodding his head. "He did! One day, he came to me and told me that it was not his mistake and that I misjudged him. He didn't want my apology, he just wanted to tell me it on my face so there would be no misunderstanding between us.
