Thread: Innocents Sold ( Closed for CrimsonMaster&SweetTemptation)

The driver of the carriage Duncan made sure that all of Emily's boxes were placed neatly inside or strapped on top of the carriage. Charles took Emily by the hand and led her back to the carriage. Once they were inside and everything was packed, the driver headed for Charles's home in the City of London. A short ride later, the carriage pulled up in front of a lovely brownstone home which was only a few blacks away from Buckingham Palace. Charles again stepped from the carriage first then offered his hand to help Emily out. The driver and Duncan will take care of your packages.........Let's get some dinner then you can bath and pick out a pretty dress to wear when we go to the theater tonight. Charles spoke as he led Emily up a few steps and into his second house. Charles bought the brownstone some years back. He used it at times when he just didn't want to be around Martha. Charles would tell Emily all about Martha and his plan for the annulment of their marriage. The annulment was already underway and would take effect in just over a week from now. Martha had learned of her husbands plans and quickly made plans of her own. Along with the head maid of the manor house who's name was Helen Burch, Martha would poison Charles before their marriage ended. Upon his death, Martha would get everything that Charles owned......including Emily. Martha hadn't met the girl who was to replace her, but she already had plans for her as well. To Martha, Emily was no different then a common street whore. It didn't matter whether or not the girl had been born into a wealthy family. Martha knew that Charles was buying her from an auction house which was also a whorehouse. Miss. Burch would help in teaching this harlot who and what she really was. Martha was already planning on whoring Emily to the men who worked on the estate which surrounded the manor. Once Martha Miss Burch were done with Charles's new little toy. They would dump Emily on the East End of London where she would have to fend for herself. A single girl dumped on the streets of London had little chance of finding a real job. If she wanted to survive, she would almost have to become a prostitute. Even while Charles Emily were sitting down to a fabulous meal which had been prepared by Mrs. Fields who worked at the brownstone as Charles's cook, Martha Miss Burch were plotting. They were disusing the best type of poison to use to which Miss Burch proposed using hemlock. Arsenic had been talked about first, but was dismissed when hemlock was brought up. Miss Burch would take care of poisoning Charles herself which would leave Martha out of the picture. Martha would see that Miss Burch was paid quite well for her services. Unlike Miss Burch, Mrs. Fields was loyal to Charles. She was a kind older lady who welcomed Emily with open arms. Mrs. Fields didn't like Martha and never got along with her. Besides Mrs. Fields, one other younger woman worked at the brownstone, her name was Mary Tate. She was a pretty blonde haired girl who was this houses only maid. Mary also welcomed Emily to the house with open arms. It had been such a long time since either Mrs. Fields or Mary had seen their master looking so happy as when he walked into the house with Emily in hand. While Charles Emily ate their dinner, Mary was hard at work readying Emily's bath and unpacking some of those fine dresses. Mary was from those same hard streets where Martha was planning on dumping Emily. She was luck enough to escape after Charles healed her wounds when she was in the hospital. Mary had become a whore like many other girls on the streets. But once night she was brutally beaten, robbed and raped. She ended up in the hospital where Charles cared for her. Once Mary was ready to leave, Charles offered Mary a job working at his brownstone as a maid. Charles had given Mary a second chance at a better life and she took it. Once the meal was over, Mary came and announced that Emily's bath was ready. Charles retired to his study for a brandy cigar while Mary was helping Emily. He would soon go upstairs, wash up and put on his best white tie and tails. The theater awaited and so did a night of discovery for Emily. Normally a gentleman would wait before taking his young lady. But Charles couldn't wait to bed his new beauty, thus Charles would make a woman out of Emily tonight.
