This is a closed thread for Midnight Bliss and C G Raven. Read along and enjoy.
Lord Edwin Delacey had met Sabrina at her Debutante’s Ball when she had turned sixteen. He had approached Duke of Ridgeton, Gerald Elmsrose and had asked for her hand in marriage. Gerald Elmsrose had looked down his long aquiline nose at Edwin Delacey.
“You Sir….”
The words dripped sarcasm from Gerald Elmsrose lips.
“You Sir………… it takes more than money and a bought title Sir. The answer is NO.”
Edwin Delacey never forgot the way that the Duke of Ridgeton had looked at him, had dismissed him as so much trash beneath his feet, beneath his contempt.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Edwin Delacey never forgot that day nor the hatred that he now bore for the Elmsrose family. He bided his time each day his desire for revenge grew until it possessed him body and soul and became now centered on his daughter Sabrina. Slowly Delacey began to buy up Gerald Elmsrose debts and IOU’s for the Duke of Ridgeton was an inept speculator, and a luckless but compulsive gambler. Edwin Delacey took the greatest pleasure in giving Gerald Elmsrose his ultimatum his daughter, or debtors’ prison for the both of them. This time there was no mention of marriage.
“ She will believe that she will be going to Edgemore Abby to become governess for my children.”
Gerald Elmsrose pride would not accept the possibility of Debtors’ prison as he now sacrificed his daughter and her virtue with these few simple words.
“I understand your grace.”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sabrina Elmsrose had taken the train from Charring Cross station, had suffered the bouncing and jostling, the stifling atmosphere of the third class passage that Delacey had arranged for her, the first of many little humiliations he had in mind for her. When she had arrived in the isolation of the Lakes District the young golden haired beauty from a privileged life in London was subjected to a carriage ride over the rough, rutted roads of the district. By the time she arrived at Edgemore Abby Sabrina was physically and mentally exhausted.
Edgemore Abby was one of those muddled combination of an ancient Abby, and Elizabethan country house and the façade of a Georgian manor. She was ushered into the Abby down the ancient stone cloister to Edwin Delacey study where he awaited her seated behind a massive mahogany desk. His presence was domineering, his fingers tented before his gaunt face, his piercing pale gray eyes and his hair steel gray giving the appearance of an inflexible man. His eyes coolly took in every aspect of the young beauty from the shimmering golden hair that framed her innocent angelic face, the sensual curves of her gorgeous young body down to the tips of her toes that peeked from beneath the helm of her traveling dress.
“We were expecting you much earlier Miss Elmsrose.”
Delacey had purposely omitted referring to the young beauty as Lady Elmsrose which her father’s title entailed her to. Another little humiliation for the proud young beauty.
