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?

Who is to Blame?

 Delaney rode in the carriage and felt alone without Vincent there beside her. She bit her lip and turned her ring around and around on her finger. Maybe Ian was right and she should have told her husband where she was going first. She might have if he hadn't been angry and she didn't already feel embarrassed about it.

 The carriage rolled down the streets towards the location she had given the driver. Delaney looked out the windows and wished everyone would be at home but the weather was lovely and the shops seemed to all be busy already. She didn't want to be seen and she wished she'd brought her cloak. Although she supposed she would have stood out even more being a hooded figure in the crowd.

 They came to a stop not far from the shops but not close enough that anyone would be able to guess where she was going. The door was opened and Ian was there waiting for her with a look of disapproval.
