Marriage Bargain

I opened my eyes to see Emily's serene face as the morning light illuminate her sleepy face, her chest rising and falling steadily. 


I had carefully cleaned her up the night before, making sure to avoid removing her clothes, as I couldn't risk raising any suspicions. Bringing Martha into the situation was out of the question, or it might jeopardize my entire plan - a mistake I couldn't afford to make again.
