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?

The Queen

 Delaney sat on the couch across from the beautiful Queen and stared hard at the teacup in her hands. Sophia was annoyed and she could tell. The question was if she was annoyed with Delaney or annoyed with Mason for his bursting in on her and being rude. Delaney hoped it was the latter.

 "I talked to my husband about Mason," she tried, "He said the worst thing I had to worry about from him is the rumors that would come if we spent time together alone."

 "And as I told you, Vince and Daniel are blinded by their love for Mason. They refuse to see the person he really is or the trouble he brings."

 Delaney looked down again, "You may be right. I can't argue with my husband about whether or not his family members are good people though, especially after knowing them for such a short amount of time. I will have to wait and if you are right I'm sure Mason will reveal himself eventually anyway."
