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.

CHOOSE WISELY

Ruth's heart felt less burdened after she talked with Thea about why she did not want to work in 'the great manor'. Thea was still unconvinced strangely.

Her opinion of Edwin O'Dell had changed considerably over the past months. Yet the way she vehemently defended him and considered him as a good person in front of Ruth made Ruth confused.

"Oh dear! What happened to you kitty?" Mrs Payne picked Zoe in her arms when Ruth put her on the floor after carrying her all the way home.

Her hands turned numb due to pain, and she shook, stretched them.

"She hurt her front leg and is having difficulty in walking." Ruth placed her small bag aside and went to wash her hands and face.

"Oh, my poor baby! Come, we will fix you."

Zoe liked Mrs Payne a lot. The old lady was caring and showered her attention and love. Besides that, she was not the one Edwin had on his mind.

Zoe sat silently with her front legs stretched forward and her head resting down on them.
