My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

A Slow Morning

While corsets weren't inherently restrictive unless someone was wearing them incorrectly, sleeping in them was another issue entirely. 

Leonor woke up hardly being able to breathe as the heavy dress she wore along with the corset and chemise underneath constricted her abdomen and chest. She sat up, gasping for air and wondering how long she must have been breathing shallowly to make herself feel so lightheaded.

However, as she opened her eyes slowly and realized that it was early in the morning, the room seemed to spin and she felt nauseous almost immediately. 

How could she forget the state in which she fell asleep? 

While she was drinking, she didn't even notice how much she consumed until she stood up. Falling into Desmond should have been her first warning. She was so embarrassed at how out of control she felt.
