"So now you want to kill me?" Ruth asked, placing her hand on Edwin's chest. Her eyes bore deep into his.
Edwin was indecisive.
Did he really want to kill her?
If he did, then what? How was he going to smell her scent? How was he going to hold her in his arms? How was he going to stare into those beautiful hazel eyes? How was he going to feel how she was always cold against his hot skin?
And how was he going to see that breathtaking smile and hear her melodious voice?
"Edwin, she is trying to fool you. You love me, Edwin! You love only me!" Maya yelled from where she stood, her anger rising with every minute Edwin wasted on Ruth.
Ignoring the woman's voice, Ruth continued but in a more gentler tone.
"Edwin, after my mother, you are the only one I look up to for my safety, my happiness. Please try to remember what we have been through.
Do you remember the time when Darius tried to kidnap me?"
