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…

Leonor couldn't feel anything else except for the point at which their lips touched. She was petrified to enjoy something to that degree.

At once, it felt like he was finally giving her the answer she had been so desperately seeking. Perhaps the feelings weren't one-sided after all. The effort he put into seeing her and making sure she was happy suddenly clicked. It all made sense. 

She began to wonder how she had gotten so lucky. God above never granted her something so wonderful.

"Good heavens!" a voice sharply whispered, interrupting the moment shared between Valerio and Leonor. "What have I just walked into!?"

Right away, the pair knew that it was the Prince interrupting them. Valerio's face lit up with a blush across his cheeks while Leonor hid her face in mortification. It wasn't all that difficult considering Valerio's chest was so close to her.
