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…

Selective Affections

Being next to the pond reminded Leonor of what she had wanted to tell the duke about someone's familiar being on his property. However, there was never a right time before that moment to tell him. 

She didn't think it was a threat considering the familiar was in an outdoor space where they had no hope of gathering information. It made her drag her feet considering the fragility of their relationship at that moment. 

She still tested the waters with him. Every time he responded to her, she took note of his likes and dislikes. While she couldn't see his face, his tone became easier to read.

Based on his ease that evening, it seemed the time had come to introduce him to the magical aspect of her life. She hoped to prove her worth through something other than being the lady of the house.
