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…

Remaining Together

At the sight of his wife's eyes full of concern, Desmond had to take a step back and consider the full scope of the situation. He gave Lady Alma the proper acknowledgment and considered how she was close to his wife and the mother of the man they had been staying with and were supposed to for the next couple of days. 

This issue would likely affect her just as much as it would affect him considering Villaluc was on the southern end of Montclair and nearing the border that needed to be secured. 

"His Majesty has requested my presence in the capital," Desmond explained. "There are signs of unrest in the south. The borders of Castille have been secured." 

Leonor couldn't hold back her concern and she lifted a hand to her lips. Her response considering the setting she had been exposed to was still proper. She didn't want to completely break down in front of the woman who stressed the importance of maintaining oneself even in emotional situations.
