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…

Suspicious

While Leonor wasn't disillusioned enough to believe she would get a grand welcoming when she arrived at her father's house, she expected there at least be someone there to greet her upon arrival. 

The lanterns were lit as always and offering dim guidance on her path forward. The guards felt hesitant to allow her to go into such a quiet place but she assured them that it would be okay.

She assured them while also assuring herself. It was taking a lot more courage than expected to open the door and walk into a place that held mostly bad memories for her.

However, it struck her that she forgot her own station upon arriving at her father's home.

A guard beat her to the door and opened it for her. It might have been the first time someone had opened that very door for her in over a decade. 

How awful it was to already feel weighed down by such a place.
