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.

LOOKING AT MY MATE LIKE THAT?

Ruth was cleaning Elsie's bookshelf that had a large collection of various romantic books. She dusted the shelf and started sorting out the books as per the ones which Elsie had finished reading, and the ones which were still left untouched.

"So this one she has finished last week so it will go here. And this one... ummm.. yes it should be here."

Her hands stopped when one of the books caught her attention. Its red coloured designer book cover was attractive. She picked up the book observing it curiously.

'LETHAL LOVE'

She ran her fingers on those golden letters printed in bold and large font.

She giggled. Why would anyone think that love could be lethal?

She shook her head but was curious. Ruth had never been a voracious reader but had read quite some books from the local library in Vincardine or the books that her acquaintances were willing to lend her for a few days.

Other than that, her readily skills were limited to reading the rising prices of commodities and newspapers.
