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…

Showing His Age

The gardens weren't in full bloom, but Leonor thought it was nice seeing colorful buds on top of each bush and stalk. Each plant was specifically chosen for blooming early and having a long life so the garden would remain full through the summer heat. 

While Leonor walked through the hallway, stopped at each window to peer into the courtyard garden she had grown to love and miss when everything was buried in snow. As she passed by the end of the hall, she glanced at the room Stephano occupied and she wondered when he would join them for dinner.

She was getting hungry so she decided to go into the dining hall and see the whereabouts of her husband as well. 

The dinner that evening wasn't anything too fancy or over the top. She hadn't expected the king to show up. Even if he wasn't someone with a large appetite, it would be good to put their best foot forward for him.
