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…

Distracted

Even at dinner, Leonor didn't see Desmond. 

For days after that, she didn't see him then either. 

Eve had come and gone with nothing to report. The familiar spying on the duke's property hid itself well and she had to return before she disappeared and lost the memory.

That was the most excitement Leonor was subjected to for many days. She wanted to tell the duke what she suspected, but there was never the opportunity. It didn't seem pressing considering the familiar was outdoors and not in one of the more secure places of the estate.

The lady's time there started to blend. 

She felt lucky that she didn't do anything she didn't want to. However, she didn't do anything she wanted to do either. One could have only so much fun reading books and walking around flat grounds and clear hallways wasn't particularly challenging mentally or emotionally.
