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?

Furious

 Ian followed Delaney outside to the stables. She walked quickly as if she were trying to outrun her tears. She was afraid if she stopped they might catch up with her and she would start to sob. With Vincent gone like he was she might not be able to stop the tears once they started.

 She marched into the stables, still not really sure what she was planning to do or where she was planning to go. One of the men saw her and came up and asked how he could help her.

 "Prepare one of the carriages for me and have Ian's horse saddled."

 "Yes my Lady," the man nodded and hurried off to do as she'd ordered.

 From behind Delaney came a disgusted scoff. She turned to find Ian's eyes cold and staring at her in disbelief.

 "What?" she questioned.

 "You said you were ready to leave and I was holding you up," he hissed.

 Delaney swallowed and everything she had said to him came dropping down on her.
