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.

A LOW LIFE?!

"Ruth, I am asking you something. Stop trying to come with some lame excuse and start spilling the truth."

By the look on Rees's face, it was clear that Ruth had no choice but to tell him what she was doing in 'the great manor'.

She was currently trapped under his hard gaze in the garden of 'the great manor'. This was the place that she never wished to visit again but was dragged to by Florence.

And now the consequences were inexorable.

"I... I am actually here with a... friend."

Ruth had no idea if she should call Florence her friend. 'If Rees know who Florence is then will his opinion change about me just like others?' Ruth felt uncomfortable with this thought and didn't want it to happen.

"Friend? Who friend?" Rees's voice came surprised.

"Umm... I don't think you know her." Ruth mumbled.

He narrowed his eyes at her. "Ruth, you don't have any friends other than Thea and me." Rees said in a deadpan.
