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…

An Adventure Together

It was just as Leonor predicted.

For as long as she tried to remain in bed, once the sun had broken over the horizon, she could no longer rest. Excitement for the day woke her up early. She knew she would regret it at some point when a wave of exhaustion hit her. 

Rather than the usual beautiful dresses she wore, Leonor got into riding clothing. She had a few new pieces in her wardrobe considering the duke bought more for her without her realizing. 

While she was ever insistent on frugality that didn't befit someone in her station, she still wore what he bought for her. It was comfortable and flattering. She knew right away it must have cost a fortune to get such fine clothing that suited every inch of her.
