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.

[Bonus chapter]BIDDING GOODBYES- 2

The ship left the waters of Vincardine, detaching itself from its ancient land with teary eyes and sad smiles. It took about an hour to put the luggage in everyone's rooms and look after other things.

Once everyone settled down, they all gathered in a cabin with large windows that looked at the three-sixty-degree view of the ocean.

The sunlight seeped through the open windows, and the salty air felt a bit weird against the skin. But soon, they would get used to it.

"Zoe, I am glad that you decided to join us at the last moment. But... your father..." Ruth trailed off, not knowing how to approach that topic.

She didn't want to hurt or offend Zoe. But she also was concerned for her father who was still bedridden in the village of Synchena. Without Zoe, Ruth was afraid that his security might be jeopardised.

But Zoe knew her brother well and her father too.
