"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!"

A MAZE OF GREED

Edwin was still trying to make sense of the happenings around him. He was tired of Mrs Payne's cryptic answers to his every question.


"Mrs Payne, I am humbled and honoured that you consider me smart and wise but trust me, my intelligence is falling short to understand what you are trying to say.


I will be glad if you just tell me everything in the simplest form that is possible for you."


"Kids these days" He heard her mutter something along that line, yet he chose to stay silent on it.


"As I said I did not go to meet any relatives of mine. But I went to... meet Reznor. And do not ask me how I know him. I  just know, okay?"


Edwin pursed his lips as that was the exact thing he wanted to ask her.


Mrs Payne knew the risks in telling Edwin about her relations with Reznor. But she had to take those risks for the sake of the trust Reznor had put in her.


"He asked me to meet him months ago but I could not leave Ruth alone then." she continued.


IS THERE ANY WAY TO AVOID THIS WAR?
