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…

Wanting More

There were many intimate nights similar to that as the couple settled into intimacy they had always dreamed about. Even without going to the point of no return, there was plenty for them to explore. 

However, one thing ate away at Leonor until she decided to bring it up to Desmond. 

He mentioned before the looks he got from maids and the way Gideon couldn't look him directly in the eye when he was caught in nightclothes leaving his wife's room. 

Everyone in the estate was getting used to the new relationship the couple was forming. 

It made Leonor realize that wasn't how it should be. The duke should be the one most comfortable in his estate but that was seldom how it was.

He should be able to wake up as slow as he wanted and prepare for the day in a comfortable environment where he didn't have to see the speculative gazes of maids and the butler first thing.
