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…

Goodbye

Prince Stephano's words felt like a slap to the face and Leonor held a hand to her cheek as if he had hit her. 

"What do you mean?" she asked in disbelief.

Having him by her side that day made her feel less lonely. Even if the only thing they had in common between them was care for Valerio, it was enough for her. He was the only person who knew what happened those few months ago. Without him, it felt like no one understood her. 

Prince Stephano could see that he had hurt her but already concluded what he must do for the foreseeable future. People associated with him would be in danger. Now that she was in Magia, she would be safer than in Burien. 

As long as her father believed there was a chance he would come back for her, that was all he needed to assure her safety. Her bastard of a father would be on his toes about anything regarding the Royal Family. He was the type of brown noser he hoped to get rid of when he became a ruler in the future.
