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…

Mystery Guest

After overhearing the conversation between Alma and Leonor, Desmond was on edge. 

Even with Lady Alma staying in their home, the couple still managed to sleep beside one another each night. However, Leonor was often tired and fell into bed, only staying awake long enough to bid her husband goodnight and cuddle up to him. 

He continued the same routine of having to beg himself to calm down for the sake of Leonor. She didn't deserve to be burned by him any further. He thought he would be able to wait until she pursued him but it was difficult. He also had to figure out how to come clean with everything they hadn't addressed so far. 

His thoughts began compounding as he longed for the next step. 

Since it was impossible to tear him from his work, he didn't know how to get Leonor to a place where neither of them was busy. Even though the physical aspect of their lives was unexplored, he still wanted to begin.
