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.

NYMPH FROM HEAVEN

The tension in the living room of Thea's home was so thick that it could be cut by a sharp knife. Oblivious to the impending swarm of stress, Thea's parents were engaged in the conversation with their guests.

Both Edwin and Rees drank the water that Thea had brought after getting scold by her mother. Both of their eyes were trained on nervous Thea.

Her eyes darted towards the kitchen now and then as if she was silently asking Ruth's assuring presence beside her.

"Thea, where is Ruth?"

As if reading her mind Mr Green asked. His question alerted both men. One became more nervous than before while the other one grinned, for his guess was right.

She was here!

"R-Ruth, she... um... she is busy in the kitchen." Thea stuttered, sneaking a peek through her worried eyes at Edwin's calm face.

He was all composed and cool as if he didn't know who Ruth was.

"Ruth is also here?" Rees couldn't help but ask and Edwin didn't miss a slight ripple of worry in his voice.
