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…

After a dinner together where Quinn recounted the tale of his trip to Montclair, he decided to turn in early, saying he had a bit of reading to do before he could go to sleep for the night. 

The duke and duchess were left alone for the evening to go on as they normally did. 

Desmond was the first to stand up and offered his hand for Leonor to take. She readily accepted his gesture and was helped to her feet. 

"Would you like to go on a walk?" Desmond asked, figuring they may visit one of the gardens as they normally did. However, he was surprised when she shook her head. 

"I would like to retire early for the evening," Leonor admitted. 

Desmond seemed disappointed for a moment but Leonor witnessed him straighten himself out and erase any sign that he was upset over not spending a bit more time with the woman he loved. 

However, Leonor stepped closer.
