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.

YOU CAN'T REFUSE YOUR LUNA!

Ruth did not hesitate to place her hand in Edwin's before they walked together in the direction of 'the great manor'. She looked at him surprised.

"Edwin... I thought we are going to the old building."

"Why should we when we have the whole manor for ourselves?" He glanced sideways at her with a smirk lifting his face.

"But..."

"They already know. Remember?"

Ruth smiled, nodding her head. Now she did not need to meet him secretly or make an excuse to go to his office like one of his rendezvous.

She was his mate, his queen and his soulmate. Now she could walk over the place holding her head high, and nobody would dare to question her.

That was what she deserved, that was the first step of hers toward her ultimate goal!

The guards and the few servants who were running the late-night errands glanced at the couple before casting their eyes away. The hushed whispers fell on her ears, and she was sure Edwin also heard them, perhaps clearly than her.
