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.

SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER

Thea walked beside Rees wordlessly. She did not know what was going through his head. But she was comforted that finally, he had decided to reveal all the truths.

She recollected what he told her the other day.

*"trust me, whatever is happening, it is connected to our lives- me, you and…"*

She had not paid attention to that before, but now that she gave a thought to it, she wondered what he meant by that.

How could anything that happened in 'the great manor' be connected to them?

She did not utter a word and decided to be patient for some more time. Rees had her hand in his, their fingers laced together. The warmth from his body soothed her distress, but her heart was still pulsating hard against her chest.

They crossed the way that led to the main gate of 'the great manor' and started walking in the directions of the woods.

Thea looked around in confusion. "Rees, the gate has passed."

"We are not using that." Came his curt reply.
