My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

The Price They Paid

      The doors to the throne room were closed as always but when Delaney approached, her eyes met those of the guards and she saw recognition there.  The doors were pulled open and a servant hurried in ahead of her, announcing she, Bernard, and Duncan had arrived.

      Delaney looked towards the thrones right away and her eyes landed first on Daniel who looked surprised and maybe even a little nervous.  Then she took in the sight of the beautiful Sophia next to him with her very large pregnant belly.  She looked bigger than Delaney had expected.

      "Hello Delaney," Daniel smiled and for a moment Delaney's own smile faltered as she felt sadness creep in.  He looked so much like Mason.  They still hadn't heard anything about the prince and they were all beginning to accept the worst had happened.  Delaney pushed the thought from her mind.  Now was not the time for sadness.
