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.

WORDS OF WISDOM

The next day came with a smile, hand in hands with little nervousness for Ruth. She got ready earlier than every day.

"Mr Payne... Open the door." She knocked nonstop on the wooden door.

"Oh God, child! Can not you have some paience?!" Mrs Payne opened the door with creased brows.

Ruth did not mind her annoyance and pecked her on the cheek.

"Good morning to you too, my beautiful Monalisa."

Ruth got to know that Mr Payne used to call his wife Monalisa in their younger days. She had picked on his habit and started teasing Mrs Payne whenever she felt like it.

Mrs Payne rolled her eyes and decided to give Ruth a silent treatment for teasing her.

"Good morning, my dear! You are early." Mr Payne was ready after showering. He had his white shirt and black pants on. He looked refreshed and well than before.

"Yes, because I am here to prepare us breakfast. You need your stomach full for working for the whole day." She skipped to the kitchen and started working with eggs.
