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 WANT TO KNOW HOW STRONG I AM?!

The days were running fast in a blur. Mrs Payne was content now that Edwin had announced his relationship with Ruth. It was Ruth's first success on the journey of reaching the top, and Mrs Payne couldn't be more happy than that.

Midst of all this, her thoughts kept running to Reznor. Where was he? What was he doing? Why did Darius kidnap him? Was he even still alive?

There were so many questions with no confirmed answers.

The only relief was that the Painite was in the safe hands of Edwin. Mrs Payne had complete trust in that man that he would never misuse it or surrender into the wrong hands.

Now the only thing which kept her on the edge was Ruth's safety. All this time, Mrs Payne was expecting some kind of retaliation from Theodora or Augustus, but there was none. They all acted as if nothing had happened and nothing had changed.

Ruth's training was no secret anymore, and now that the family knew about it, Miss Chang and Mr Welby had intensified it more than before.
