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 PROMISE, I WILL NOT JUDGE YOU.

"Ruth."

Mrs Payne did not get any response to her call.

"ruth, I am talking to you." She said sternly this time.

"I am listening." Ruth mumbled absent-mindedly.

She was behaving this way since Thea and Rees's wedding. Mrs Payne did not understand what went wrong with her. She thought of asking about it to Thea or Rees, but they were out of town on a vacation after their marriage. They were on their honeymoon.

Having enough of her rudeness, Mrs Payne held her elbow and turned her around. Her face was set in an unimpressive frown.

"Enough Ruth! Stop acting like a child and tell me what happened. I know that you are keeping something inside you and I want you to let it out."

Angry Ruth pulled her hand from hers with force.

"Why do you care?"

Mrs Payne was taken aback by her reaction. This was not her Ruth. This was not her sweet daughter.

"Why do I care?! How could you ask such thing to me Ruth? huh? I care because i love you! I care because you are my family!"
