My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

Scars

 Mrs. Crouch herself came back up to help Delaney dress. The woman was not much for doing hair so after a few minutes, Delaney had just laughed and said it would be fine in a braid. Mrs. Crouch had smiled in relief and been on her way.

 Now, when Delaney stopped to gather her courage before leaving her room, it was not to face her husband but now his brother. Stepping into the dining room she found the pair of them already eating. Vincent smiled when he saw her and pulled her seat back for her.

 Miles's eyes went from her to his brother then back. He looked annoyed but Delaney couldn't tell if it was with her or Vincent.

   Her hands were throbbing from the continued use so she gingerly held her silverware as she ate. Vincent also wasn't eating much and she imagined he must still not be feeling well from his night of drinking.
