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.

SOMETHING STRONG, DEEP AND PURE

After his conversation with Rees in his office in the afternoon, Edwin returned to his chamber. For some reason, he felt restless.

Rees told him about his newfound friendship with Thea's best friend.

Ruth

That name got imprinted in Edwin's mind weeks before. His eyes didn't waver from the brown piece of cloth that rested in the wooden box on the table.

This cloth had become like his companion. It gave him the tranquillity to his furious mood, it made his agitated nerves come to peace, it gave him that feeling of taken care of, it made him feel less lonely.

And the reason... he was not aware of yet.

On many times his heart screamed at him to search every house of Vincardine to find who this hazel-eyed woman was. She had captured his mind and soul with just one sight of hers.

He was sure that she didn't belong to the guests that were present for the celebrations in 'the great manor'. Neither she was from his social circle.
