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.

WE ARE MISSING ON SOMETHING IMPORTANT!

The whole region was shaken by the death, rather than the murder of Barret Addington. They found his mutilated body dumped in the mud. It was so grossly impaired, that no one could take a look at it.

Not only the Garfields but also the royals were tensed by this event. Everyone was busy predicting their theories, but the truth was known only by the Garfields, Augustus O'Dell, Harold Davies and Ripon.

As per Augustus's expectations, Ripon had refused to give any official statement regarding the issue. He put forward the reason for standing with Barret's family at such a saddening time. Thus no one bothered him much, including the royals.

"Edwin, say something." Lester prompted.

They were locked up in Edwin's office chamber for the last one hour. Rees was also present there.

"I... I do not know what to say Lester." Edwin told calmly.

The other two men could see wheels running in Edwin's head, but they could not guess the right direction.
