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…

Warming Up (R18)

Desmond requested the maids prepare a bath for Leonor in her quarters the second he stepped out of the carriage.

Luckily it was only a few of the workers who came to receive the duke and duchess and bear witness to the strange situation the couple found themselves in. Leonor explained what happened even though it would be fairly obvious considering her hair was wet. 

Gideon was a more difficult obstacle to cross before they could escape to privacy. When he heard that Leonor hurt her ankle, he was more insistent on having her see someone for it. It wasn't until she showed him her bare leg that he believed she took care of it herself. 

The mood was strange as the duke and duchess rushed away the moment they could. Most took it for embarrassment because of their state of dress, but a few others had witnessed them growing more affectionate. It was normal for them to be a little bit on edge around one another.
