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.

SHE IS MY MATE!

An hour had passed, and yet there was no call from Edwin. Rees waited patiently outside Edwin's private chamber with wheels turning in his mind.

By this time, everyone in 'the great manor' had woken up to begin another day.

A thought of knocking on the door had crossed Rees's mind but he decided to not disturb Edwin and let him have the time he needed.

Steady footsteps clinked on the marble floor of the corridor and Rees saw Augustus walking in his way. Rees was confused to see him there in the morning, his senses alert and mind link blocked.

Rees hurriedly stood up then bowed down as Augustus neared him.

"Good morning, milord!" Rees said in a polite manner, his eyes cast downwards.

"Good morning! Is my nephew still sleeping?" Augustus's tone was accusing.

As if he knew that his words were right and there was no chance that the case might be otherwise.

"No, milord. Young Master is awake but he is not feeling well today." Rees maintained his face straight and his voice steady.
