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 Tormenters

The trembling hands and jumpiness. 

Quinn had seen them in Leonor before and he was seeing them again. 

One thing Leonor could never hide from him was how incredibly different she was whenever she returned to school after staying in Burien for any amount of time. 

Even a mere few days would make her return to how she was when she first met him. The Leonor he was used to at the Academy was outgoing and happy. He thought she was that way naturally but he found out that perhaps both sides of her were true. It simply depended on whether or not she had been subjected to her father for an extended period. 

While he never heard specifically of what Count Mikael had done to his daughter until Stephano confided it in him, he knew that she was terrified of the very man she was forced to fall in line for.
