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.

I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

"Now before I kick you out of my manor myself, LEAVE!"

Augustus's stern warning did nothing to the man who had his mind set on one thing. He knew what he wanted, and he was done denying that.

"You cannot throw me out, Lord Augustus. You cannot deny my reward either."

The confidence in Harold's voice was unnerving. A tight knot twisted inside Eloise's pit upon hearing the word 'reward'. She wasn't anyone's reward. He couldn't claim her as a reward, no man could!

"You are delusional, Davies!" Theodora scoffed, but the way her back was tensed showed that she was nervous about the whole situation.

"Actually, I am not, Lady Theodora. I have never been so! I am giving you a week's time. You can think and mull over this as much as you please.

After this week, I will receive your answer and acceptance. There is nothing that can stop me now."

Augustus opened his mouth to retort, but Harold beat him to it and continued with his nerve-wracking calmness.
