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.

OR MAYBE ANOTHER WAR!

Theodora reached to Douglas as she couldn't stay in 'the great manor' with Ruth and Edwin around. She needed some space to think, and his company was the only solution she had.

She complained to him about Ruth and Edwin, but Douglas had already predicted the future a long time ago.

"No need to rub salt on my wound Douglas!" Theodora seethed.

Douglas raised his hands in surrender, not intending to anger her more. "So what your dear nephew and his mate has done now?" He then asked in genuine concern.

Theodora sighed. She contemplated telling Douglas about it, but then he had never betrayed her and would not dare to even if he wanted to. So there was no harm in telling him.

"Douglas, Augustus has messed up everything this time and Edwin has found out about it. Now he is demanding for Agustus to confess it and face a trial. Can you believe that?"

Now more interested than before, Douglas asked, "What has Lord Augustus done?"
