IT WAS ALL HER PLAN!

Edwin spent some more time holding Ruth close to him. Before he got addicted to her touch, he freed himself gently from her hold.

She was breathing in a steady rhythm. The exhaustion and drain of energy called sleep for help. Edwin smiled then kissed her on the forehead.

Soon his smile disappeared as he reminded himself of an important task he needed to do. He was holding it in for a long but not anymore.

He exited the room and descended the stairs. As expected Lester, Elsie and Ida were waiting for him. They all huddled up after seeing him walking in their way. But the look on his face told them that something was definitely wrong.

"Brother Edwin..." Elsie tried but, Edwin ignored her and passed past her.

He did not spare a single glance to anyone and walked towards the door. The guard who was stationed there looked conflicted. However, he had no guts to get on his master's bad side. He hurriedly opened the metal door.

"Brother Edwin!" Elsie called his name again in alarm.
