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…

What Should Have Been

Valerio had been waiting outside for over an hour, hoping that the leaving guests were a sign he would be able to see Leonor shortly.

Each time someone went out the back entrance of the manor and it wasn't the object of his affection, he was forced to pretend he was tending to something benign as he observed a bush. He was clearly in commoner clothing and no one would suspect him otherwise. 

However, even though he wore average clothing, that day he was perfectly clean. With work gloves left behind and better boots on his feet, he felt more prepared to see Leonor since most workers outside of maids were sent home early due to the tea party being held.

He had an opportunity to present himself more favorably for Leonor. Since it was dark outside, he had taken off his hat and brushed his fingers through his hair to organize it.
