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.

SKELETONS HIDDEN IN THE CLOSET!

Theodora felt the ground slipping under her feet as Augustus told her about the confession he had made to Edwin. She didn't understand why he did that and why he didn't consult her first.

Slumping in the chair, feeling weak in the knees, she breathed through the parted lips in shock.

"What have you done, Augustus? How could you do that? Oh my God!" Her brain was trying hard to grab around the fact, but it was too unexpected and sudden that she found it difficult.

The door swung open, and Edwin strode inside without asking for permission. Theodora was instantly on her feet and approached him with teary eyes.

"Please Edwin listen to me first. Your uncle-"

"So he has told you already. Good! Now I don't need to send you outside as I speak with him." The coldness and detachment in his voice panicked Theodora.

Augustus slowly looked up at Edwin and nodded his head.

"Lord Augustus, I have thought about what you told me. And I understand why you did that."
