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…

Leaving

Desmond rode to Count Christopher's home with the heavy knowledge weighing him down. There was more in the letter that he hadn't discussed with the others considering it felt extremely close to his heart. 

Since he was able to take the men and ride to the count's home on horseback, it was a short trip and he was able to meet with the count quickly. 

Walking through the rustic home, he was pleased to see everyone already working to put his and Leonor's things together for the road ahead. 

As bad as he felt that Leonor would have to be subjected to nearly four days of travel, he was happy that she wanted to remain by his side as well despite that. They were at a tender point where being apart wouldn't benefit them. It would only serve to make them miserable. 

The duke found the count in his study and shut the door behind them to give them privacy.
