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…

Not Waiting Any Longer

Desmond's life crumbled in his hands as Eve disintegrated into nothingness. 

His ruby eye stared in horror at what was left of his wife's familiar and he began trembling. 

Quinn's familiar, Sterling, started to shriek loudly as if it knew something terrible had just happened. Even though it was a creature made entirely of mana, it knew Eve well. 

He had the horrific thought that Eve was gone forever. There was no way for someone who wasn't a mage to know whether or not that was the truth. 

However, that wasn't his focus. 

To him, Eve was Leonor. The state of Eve was a direct correlation to the state of Leonor. He knew immediately that something horrible had happened and he had no one to commiserate with or validate his paranoias with. 

He was risking the lives of Quinn and Cian by going to Leonor and he knew how selfish he was for doing that but she was everything to him. He wouldn't be able to go forward if it weren't with her.
