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…

Knowing the flowers should have died weeks before made Leonor feel miserable. She had been reviving them each night, not realizing how difficult it would be to part with them. 

Normally, she was more logical. After she met Valerio, she became far more emotional.

A thought struck her that would fix her problem entirely.

Leonor stood up from the chair at her desk and she rushed towards the mostly empty wardrobe. Inside was a box towards the back that she decided to pack last so it wouldn't risk harm. 

She lifted the lid off the box and revealed a beautifully carved jewelry box she had managed to steal from her mother's things after the Count allowed maids to go through them.

Jewelry was among the few things in her mother's life she cherished. Leonor felt it was important to preserve that aspect of Countess Jara.
