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…

Her Mentor

It was obvious to Leonor that the room they were permitted to use was supposed to be someone of the count's family, but it was closer to the heart of his expansive home and likely much easier to heat since winter was so quickly approaching. Normally nobles liked to give their guests more privacy.

It was nonetheless nice with an attached bathroom and gorgeous windows. It even had light cream-colored bedding that felt like clouds once she and Desmond settled in for the night. 

She cuddled up at her husband's side, heavily using him as a pillow, and pleased with the day they had and the discussions that ensued. Despite Desmond's warnings that Christopher was a womanizer, she found his loud and boastful nature amusing.

However, Christopher was only the surface of what Leonor wanted to do while she was in Villaluc. The meeting with Alma was already planned and the moment they arrived, a note had been sent to the old woman's country home.
