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. "Ruth!" ******************* They say that there are only two types of people in the world - good and bad. Good people get happiness in their life while bad ones have to pay for their wrongdoings.

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY OF THIS KEY?

At the Welbys' home, the dinner was done, and now the whole group sat in the living room, ready to discuss the important matter in the hand.

"My Lord, may I ask why you looked for me after so many years?"

Dexter stared at Edwin, waiting for the answer.

"Dexter, you have been my fathers loyal for many years. You knew both of my parents closely and thus I am sure you are aware of their secrets too."

Dexter tensed at that. Clearing his throat, he feigned obliviousness. "Pardon but I don't understand, My Lord."

"So Dexter, tell me. Why did you come to Vincardine four months ago?"

Lester's question took by surprise not only Dexter but others too. He shifted uncomfortably.

Edwin, on the other hand, looked calm and thus, it was clear that he knew about it.

"I am waiting for the answer, Dexter. Also, when you were well hidden all these years, why Kevin found you only a few miles away from Vincardine?

What is that you are trying to hide or... expose?"
