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…

Almost Forgotten

Desmond stared at Leonor briefly, measuring the sapphire eyes that stared daggers through him.

He knew she wasn't lying when she said she would leave. She would return to her room even if she stumbled all the way there. To make matters worse, she would likely refuse his help because he was the reason for her storming away. 

Leonor was different from the timid girl he knew. Even though she was passionate and full of life as a teenager, she lacked a certain stamina she had as an adult. Perhaps it was years at the Academy making her more confident and stubborn when she was comfortable with someone. 

It further made him imagine what it would be like to properly love her. She wouldn't let him walk all over her while she wouldn't walk all over him. While she recuperated, he treated her as fragile but she was strong. The times he witnessed her sparring sessions with Stephano only proved as much.
