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…

Protective

Desmond's jaw clenched, but he managed to utter a "Good morning, Your Highness" before the hostility from the night before could return. The duke knew he was in the wrong and had to be on his best behavior. Stephano was holding such a great secret over his head. 

"You're quite energetic for someone who took their breakfast in their room this morning," Leonor uttered and took one last bite of her food before standing up, feeling bad she was sitting while the king was standing. 

Desmond seemed to have different sentiments and remained seated. 

"You've been under his enchantment before?" Desmond asked. 

He could connect the dots and understand why, but he didn't want to make more assumptions. It got him into trouble before. 

"I was hurt and he used his magic to help me," she admitted, a bit standoffish. 

She wondered why Stephano insisted on stirring up old feelings, not realizing it was his ploy to push the two of them together.
