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…

No Promises

Leonor knew instantly Desmond must have seen her try to hide her expression while they were eating together. Others wouldn't have noticed but, those days, his gaze didn't stray from her for long. 

It was a blessing and a curse that he was so taken by her. At that moment, his attunement to her emotions made it so she couldn't keep secrets. 

As his eye bore into her, she felt vulnerable lying down and had to sit up despite him making her so comfortable before. 

He didn't ask her about their chosen heir or consider it a decision they made together. It was evident he knew this was something he did on his own and left her in the dark with. 

She understood the circumstances but still didn't have to like it. 

Leonor contemplated and chose her words carefully.
