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 WILL BE THERE TO WITNESS IT ALL!

Darius watched the dark sky that sheltered the Kinsville. He could feel the gloominess in the air. Perhaps it travelled all the way from Vincardine.

He chuckled.

Was anyone even bothered by the death of a prostitute? He didn't think so. If anything, Ruth must be ecstatic that he helped her get rid of one thorn from her way. But wasn't he pushing her more to Edwin? One would have thought so.

But Darius's mind worked differently. The more he helped her, the more were the chances of her getting attracted to him. Darius would even kill the whole Vincardine if it meant Ruth would come running in his arms.

That thought brought a smile to his handsome face.

The soft breeze that flew past him made his curls fall on his forehead giving him that innocent look.

Poor Florence! She shouldn't have trusted a stranger like that. How did she not wonder why Darius... correction... Perrito jumped for her help? Why was he so interested in Ruth and Edwin?
