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…

Exploring

Leonor wasn't woken up. In fact, she wasn't bothered at all until she wandered into the hallway and was met with a maid wiping off the windows that lined the wall across from her room. 

The new duchess had already washed her face and brushed her hair but she was still in her nightgown. The maid realized this and quickly pocketed the soft cloth she had been dusting the windows with.

"Would you like me to fetch maids to help you get dressed this morning, your grace?" she asked. "I would do it myself but his grace has said this hallway could use more attention." 

The hallway looked pristine, but Leonor wouldn't go against her new husband's word. She offered a polite smile.

"I would like that, thank you," Leonor responded before she retreated back to her room.
