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…

Safe by His Side

Desmond thought he had been subtle. He waited for her to settle in each night before setting up his camp in front of her carriage. When the sun rose the next day, he would see the curtains in the carriage still drawn. He thought she hadn't seen him. 

The only explanation was that she must have woken up in the middle of the night to see him. 

His rough voice was quiet as he tried to conjure up a feasible answer. 

"After years in Letum, I know what sort of horrors lurk in even the most unsuspecting forests," he explained with a strained voice. "What sort of husband would I be to not see to my wife's safety personally?"

He spoke so insistently, his throat hurt.

Leonor was tired before but his answer woke her up. She slowly nodded at his answer, accepting it at face value.
