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…

Get to the Bottom of It

The hallways were dark as the candles the maids placed out every evening started to burn out. 

At one point, they used to go out and extinguish each candle, but the duke told them to leave a few because he tended to be a night owl. 

Most of his excursions happened at night. He went into the township at night because the streets were less crowded and people wouldn't notice him as much. He held meetings unusually late if he had to face other nobles. 

It certainly didn't help his reputation as a creature of the night, but he was past trying to prove himself to others. The only person he wanted to be worthy of was Leonor. 

Yet she skipped dinner and didn't tell him why. His worries were through the roof.

He had witnessed her use her magic and thought nothing of it because she studied at the Magic Academy for so long.
