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 Protector

Her heart so affected was the last thing Leonor expected as she rode back to the estate.

The moment she told that woman off about respecting the hero of Castille, her heart was set ablaze and didn't calm down even after she sat in the carriage. She had to resist the urge to put a hand over her chest as if she could manually force her heart to slow.

Unwilling to meet the eyes of Beth who occasionally cast her a concerned glance, Leonor's attention remained out the window. She opened the window to get fresh air on her face or she thought she might be sick.

There was a rush confronting someone in such a way especially when so many people suddenly gave her attention after she had gone out of her way to conceal who she was.

However, as she thought of Desmond, she couldn't sit back knowing how much he didn't deserve to be spoken about like that.
