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…

Caught Off Guard

"Duchess," Beth uttered quietly, never having seen Leonor so uncomposed. 

Even when they went to the tea house together, and she was faced with unnecessary prejudice against her husband, she remained clear-headed and firm. 

To be faced with an expression of love and completely fall apart was something the maid hadn't anticipated. She was envious of ever being able to feel something as sweet as the love the duke had for his young wife. 

Leonor was entirely speechless for a few moments. Normally, she was able to compose herself quickly, but Desmond being so in tune with her and knowing what she might want before she could want it caught her by surprise. 

It was a silent way of telling her he wasn't upset with the realizations they had last night. As he expressed before, he had no choice but to make decisions about their heir without her there. The future decisions would be made with her at his side.
