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.

WANT HER LIPS TO SWELL?!

Five days passed after the third full moon night. Vincardine was buzzing with unforeseen energy as the influx of people crowded it every day. The whole team was busy doing their job efficiently, and people wondered how Edwin managed to handle everything so easily.

Theodora was too proud to face Elsie and give those papers of land by herself. So defying Augustus's order, she sent those papers to Elsie through Sophie, her head maid.

Now that Edwin's way was clear, he ordered to begin the construction of the shipyard at a fast pace. And now that they were done with the preparations, they needed to move on to the next step- arranging the funds.

And that was the topic of discussion in today's meeting in Edwin's office, where everyone had gathered, taking out some time from their busy schedules.

"I haven't called you all to gather here only to stare at my face!" Edwin snapped irritatingly.
