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…

Lonely

The trouble with drinking and sitting meant someone couldn't tell the true extent of how much they had to drink until they got up once again.

Leonor was experiencing that as she continued to drink and thought she didn't feel it, so she would continue to have more. 

Desmond, with more experience around drinking and a bit more control, started turning away the drinks that Louis offered. He felt he should take the reins of the situation if they were to make it out of there in one piece. 

Even though it was getting dark and the lights were focused on the town square, he didn't want Leonor to slip up in front of people she wanted to give a good impression to.

Despite his rushing thoughts, he knew he needed to be the one to have control of the situation.
