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?

Exciting Plans

 Delaney tried to put thoughts of the potion from her mind for the day. Since Vincent was working she decided to do a walk-through of the house to check for any repairs or updates that might need to be done before they left back to Edgewood. The ocean house had been lovely but since they had spoken about returning home Delaney was starting to look forward to it.

 It was strange for the house to be so quiet and to not have their friends around. Delaney found herself hoping that soon she and Vincent would be able to fill the house with children and then it wouldn't be so quiet anymore. She fluctuated between being excited about taking the potion and being anxious.

 Around midday, she went down to find her husband. She brought him the list of the repairs and improvements that he read over, glancing up at her now and then with a smile of admiration. Once he was finished they headed to lunch together, sitting alone in the large dining room again.
