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.

I WANT HER!

Reaching at Ruth's apartment building, Edwin dreaded to pass Ruth back into Rees's hands. Rees and Zoe stood beside him as he looked at Ruth's face for a long minute.

"She will be in 'the great manor' from tomorrow onwards, Master." Rees said confidently.

'She has no other choice!' Zoe agreed.

Edwin did not say anything and, with a heavy heart, passed Ruth to Rees.

"I am waiting for you here." It was not just a statement. It was a declaration.

"Yes, Master."

"Ed- I mean Lord Edwin I-"

"Let's go Lady Zoe. Mrs Payne must be worried for Ruth and you." Rees interrupted her, sensing the bad mood of his Master.

He did not want any human to see two supernaturals fighting in the middle of the night.

Zoe hissed at Rees but followed him inside the building nonetheless, after telling Edwin to take care of himself.

Edwin stood there waiting for Rees. He could not describe the waves of various emotions hitting his heart. This invisible wall between him and Ruth tore him apart.
